Entertain Me Mr. Downie

If You Have Yet To Attend A Tragically Hip Concert Then You Have Yet To Witness The Most Entertaining Show In Music. The Hip Are The Best Live Band There Is - Hands Down. Mr. Downie Is An Eclectic Being Who's Energy Explodes Off Into The Crowd. The Tragically Hip Rock And Gord Is The King Of It (Rock That Is).

Colin MacDonald of "The Trews"

So If You Have Been Under A Rock These Last Few Years Then You Wouldn't Know That The Canadian Music Scene Is Taking Off And Taking Over - Especially The East Coasters And Their Brand Of Rock. You Have Matt Mays & El Torpedo, Joel Plaskett Emergency, Sons Of Maxwell, Wintersleep, And The Trews Leading The Charge. There Is No Denying Canadian Music Has It's Own Style And It Is With This Style That Candian Music And East Coast Rock Bands Are Taking The Indusrty By Storm. Support Your Canadian Musicians - I Think You'll Like It! And Check Out Maple Music If You Haven't Already. Cheers. 

Trew Story

So You Know How Excited I Was About Getting The Set List From The Tragically Hip? Well Geuss What? I Got The Set List From the TRews And The Minatures Too! "Trew" Story - I Swear. 

The Trews

You Know, I Have Had An Awsome Week Especially After Seeing The Tragically Hip In Concert. So How Do You Make An Awsome Week Even Better? Well You Follow A Hip Concert Up With A Trews Concert Of Course - And That's Exactly What I Did. Molson Canadian Put On An Exclusive Show Including The Marble Index, The Miniatures, And The Trews At Fed Hall On Thursday Night And It Was Spectacular! Great Candian Music And A Great Canadian Beer. I Have A Ridiculous Number Of Decent Shots From The Concerts - Both The Hip And The Trews - So Fasten Your Seatbelt And Tell Me What You Think Of Some Them. Cheers. 

The Darkest One

Come in, come in, come in, come in
From under these darling skies come in
It's warm and it's safe here and almost harkening
Off to a time and place now lost on our imagination
where you don't complain, but you still do
and you don't explain, if you want to- explain
what you believe you say without shame, 'I just do'
To say what you mean you don't mean what you say -Or you do
Where the wild are strong
And the strong are the darkest ones
And you're the darkest one
Come in, come in, come in, come in
From thin and wicked prarie winds, come in
It's warm and it's safe here and almost heartening
Here in a time and place not lost on our imagination
Where you don't explain-but you still do
And you can't complain, if you want to-complain
Well you're real instrumental or supple
Or sexy as hell Where you say "I believe" or say without shame 'I can't tell'
Where the wild are strong
And the strong are the darkest ones
And you're the darkest one
Oh and you're the darkest one
And if that's what you want
Oh then you're the darkest one

 

In Violet Light

I Guess I Forgot To Mention; I Got Tickets To Go See These Guys Again In January With My Sister Nicole! Nothing Says It's Been A Good Year Like 3 Tragically Hip Shows! Come Back Later For More - Now I Sleep!
P.S. The Trews Tonight! 

Yawning Or Snarling

Long Time Coming

When I Recognized The Intro To "Long Time Running" My Heart Skipped A Beat And I Gave The Biggest Hug To Chloe I Have Probably Ever Given Her. I Have Been Waiting To Hear This Song In Concert All My Life Basically And It Was Spectacular! Old Gord Out Did Himself On This Night And I Thank Him For It. Stay Tuned! 

World Contain Her

Last Night Chloe And I Headed Down To Toronto To Watch "The Tragically Hip" Play An Intimate Show At The Phoenix Concert Theatre. The Show Was AMAZING! Front Row, The Launch Of Their New Album: "World Conainer", 23 Songs Played - Including "Long Time Running" - And Then I Got The Set List! It Was Possibly The Best Hip Show I've Been To Yet And We Had Such A Blast. After The Show Chloe And I Missed Our Bus So We Slept Over Inside An Underground Mall In The Food Court - We Didn't Get Much Sleep, But There Will Be Time For That Later. Stay Tuned For More Photo's.  

Keep Fishin'

That's All Anyone Can Do Really - Keep Fishin'. 

The Kids Don't Get It

In One Week I Will Be Standing Front Row, Once Again, Watching The Tragically Hip Bring Down The House At The Phoenix Night Club In Toronto. The "World Container" Tour Promises To Be A Good One (I Picked Up The Album Today) And I Am Super Excited To Hear The New Tunes And Of Course The Classics. This Shot Is From Historic Fort York Last June - Gord Is A Bit Of A Sweat Bag And It Looks Like He Wet Himself Here - You're The Man Gord! 

Summer

Today Is Cold. I Remeber Not Too Long Ago It Was 30ºC And I Was Jumping Off The Pier Down At The Collingwood Harbour. Sometimes I Wish It Was Summer All The Time - Then Again, I Do Love Winter...And Spring, And Especially Fall - But Sometimes All I Want Is Warmth. 

Painted

Thought That This Sunset Was Pretty Neat With The Clouds And Such. What Do You Think? I Was Taken At Sunset Point In Collingwood Last Weekend. The Sky Was Soo Cool For About A Minute But I Only Managed To Capture The End Of The Sunset With My Camera - Still Pretty Sweet!

I Told You I Would Put Up More Pictures Of This Wind Mill Weather Vain Thing And I'm Keeping My Word. Here It Is, Found On Hwy 25 Outside Grand Valley, The Neatest Sky And A Cool Subject. I Hope You Like It! Cheers. 

Barbed

Lately I Have Noticed A Remarkable Number Of People Referring To Barbed Wire Fence As "Bob Wire" Fence. Weird. Anyways, I Found This Tree (In The Background) On My way To Blue Mountain Last Week And Stopped To Take Some Pictures Of Its Colours - I Also Took This Picture Of The Barbed Wire - Cheers. 

Fall Colours

Here I Am On My Way Up Stage One Of Three Stage On The Escarpment Outside of Collingwood, Ontario Over The Weekend. The Colours Were Spectacular! Cheers. 

The Way

In A Green Pasture Outside Of The Middle Of No Where, Ontario The Future Of Our Planet Lies. Green Energy - The Way Of The Future - Or Least It Should Be If We, As A Race, Actually Plan On Having Any Future. I'm Not Going To Rant About Sustainable Living And Energy Consumption Or The Problems And Prospects Of Human Beings. All I Can Do Is Show You The Way. 

Apple Fest

This Little Girl Was Entered in The Apple Eating Contest At Blue Mountain Over The Weekend. She Had Almost Finished One Apple By The Time The Contest Had Ended However, When She Was Asked How Many She Had Eaten She Lied In Front Of 50 Witnesses Or So And Said She Had Eaten 2 Apples In 2 Minutes. Her Lie Earned Her Second Place And A Decent Bag Of Prises. It Also Earned A Roar of Laughter From A Few Of The Spectators Of The Event - Including Myself. Apples Are Good - Especially Local Organic Honey Crisp Apples - My Favourite! Cheers And Happy Harvest! 

Paint By Size

I've Seen The Uber Popular "Paint By Number" Sets Before, But This Looks More Like Paint by Size. Autumn Is Wicked Eh? The Colours Are Wild And Hikes Become Special - Like This One On The Bruce Trail At 3 Stage In Collingwod. Hope You Like It. 

Rusty Breezes

Also Taken Outside of Grand Valley, Ontario On Hwy 25, This Weather Vain Was Too Cool To Pass Up. I Hopped A Fence And Crossed An Open Field To Get To It From The Road But It Was Worth It, More Pics Of It To Come! 

That Time Of Season

I Love Fall! Everything Is Extra Amazing When It Comes To Nature And Life In General. This Was Taken Outside Of Grand Valley, Ontario On Thursday On My Way To The Bruce. I Have A Few Shots From The Area But The Sky Was Soo Good I'm Probably Going To Post Them All. Cheers! 

Sunrise At Sunset

I Hope Everyone Had A Pleasant Thanksgiving - I Know I Did. I Spent The Weekend In Collingwood And Surrounding Area And Then Travelled Down To Keswick For Dinner At My Grandma's On Monday. While I Was In Collingwood I Did A Fair Bit Of Hiking, A Little Partying, And A Lot Of Relaxing. This Shot Was Taken At Sunset Point At Sunrise On Saturday Morning. I Guess They Could Just Call It "Sun" Point Since Both Sunrises And Sets Are Pretty Spectacular Here, But i Guess Most Poepl Don't Actually See The Sunrise Here So They Went With "Sunset Point." Either Way, I Like It And Am A Little Sad That My Mom Is Moving In 2 Weeks And This Will No Longer Be In Our Backyard. Lots Of Pjotos From The Weekend To Come Including Hiking, Apple Fest, And More! Stay Tuned. 

Joel Plaskett Emergency (2)

Joel Plaskett Emergency Didn't Suck - The Were Awsome! Like I Said - To The Bruce This Weekend - Yeah Pictures! 

Pocket Dwellers

The Pocket Dwellers Sucked, But This Dude Was Alright - I Guess. New Pictures Soon To Come - To The Bruce This Weekend! 

Extraordinary

Keep Sing Joel! Apparently He Put On A Good Show At The Kool Haus Too - But Not As Good As Hid Did Here. Cheers.
