Ill Scarlet
So This Is The First Band That Went On For Last Nights Free Concert - Ill Scarlet. They Were Decent, They Didn't Steal The Show Or Anything, But They Had A Few Good Songs And Got The Crowd A Little Rowdy For A Couple. Nothing Is Ever Wrong With A Free Concert - No Matter Who's PLaying - So It Was A Good Time.
Joel Plaskett Emergency
So I Ventured On Over To Federation Hall Tonight For A Free Concert In The Name Of Diversity - And Boy Was It Diverse. The First Band Was Reggea Rock Punk Band Called "Ill Scarlet." They Weren't Too Bad Aside From A Massive Amount Of Siliva Projected Directly At Me. The Next Band Was "The (Mighty) Pocket Dwellers." These Guys Were A Hip Hop Funk Group With Saxaphones And Flutes And The Whole Nine. Dude On The Saxaphone Could Really Jam But The Rest Of The Show Kinda Sucked. The Headlining Band Was The "Joel Plaskett Emergency" And They Rocked! I Love My East Cost Bands And These Boys Are No Exception. This Is Chris, The Newly Aquired Bass Player For The Band. The Show Was Wicked And There Will Be More Shots From All The Bands To Come - So Stay Tuned.

You Can Speak Now
During Our Conversation Cafe The Person Who Held The Gourd Was The Person Who Spoke - No Exceptions...Okay, My Group Was An Exception, We Didn't Even Take Turns Talking Really, Let Alone A "Talking Object." This Method Of Conversation Seemed To Be Very Productive For The Other Groups Though And Only Good Reviews Were Recieved When Commenting On The Design Of The Activity. It Allowed Group Members To Discuss And Bring Up Individual Points, Opinions, And Concerns, But More Importantly, It Provided The Chance For The Group Member Not Holding The Gourd To Actually Listen To What Was Being Said. Our Topic Of Conversation Was Our Connection To Food And Our Opinions On Eating Locally And, If Possible, Organically. All In All It Was A Pretty Cool Event - Especially The Drum Circle Dance Party Bit - I Liked That. The End.

Last Night For Instance We Ventured Down To Kitchener To Partake In A Conversation Cafe/Organic Foods Promotion/Crazy Drum Circle Party.

Too Posh For Pitchers
Over The Summer The Bombshelter Pub In The Student Life Centre Of The University Of Waterloo Recieved A Makeover. The Bomber Of Old Was An Establishment One Could Feel Relaxed In - Barefoot And Drinking Straight From The Pitcher Was A Frequent Scene Found Here. It Had Character And Charisma And Was Truely Special. The Makeover Has Bumped The Bomber Up To A New Level Of Classiness - Almost Too Classy I'd Say. No Longer Does It Feel Appropriate To Wander Shoeless, Pitcher In Hand Like A Giant Mug. No Longer Does It Feel Like Home. I'm Sure We Will All Settle Into The New Atmosphere Of The Bombshelter Within Time - But I Don't Think It Will Ever Be The Same - It Has Become Too Posh For Pitchers.
