See a basketball game and stuff like that. I was pretty happy about it. But have only gotten happier since... I get to see Sarah Slean perform a short set at the ONE BIG NO peace concert, also get to see Sarah Harmer play a short set there as well. As if that wasn't enough, I scored tickets to see Ms Harmer AGAIN the following night at Hugh's room with all proceeds going to help Iraqi children, a wonderful cause. So now I get to see 2 of my few favorite artists perform (Harmer for the first time!) and see a Raptors game on top of all that. I'm pretty damn excited. Oh yah I'm flying there, I don't fly much and I love it! Can't wait heh heh... urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:myinvitation:1965 2003-03-20T01:36:59Z 2003-04-02T23:12:16Z I've decided to hold my opinions about the war. What I say can do no good whatsoever. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:myinvitation:1546 2003-03-13T04:03:31Z 2003-04-02T23:13:49Z Sarah Slean (not exact words, i'm not a journalist) "I can picture little George Bush, around 5 years old, with his little red plastic cowboy hat and fake pistols in each hand screaming "I gotta find me something to kill" at the top of his lungs." urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:myinvitation:1490 2003-03-11T04:53:40Z 2003-03-11T04:53:40Z Singin songs of work and worth<br /><br />Wonderful, and without a doubt best concert i've been too. Well maybe a tie with Sarah. Wonderful is all I can say about it. Such a great storyteller, and a very nice man (met him briefly after the show). He was quite surprised a 19 year old guy was such a fan I think, asking how I heard about him and such things. Was an amazing night. Got to share it with my girl as well, couldn't ask for more than that. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:myinvitation:1047 2003-03-10T18:16:16Z 2003-03-10T18:16:16Z Today I get to see one of the best tradition/folk artists tonight. David Francey. That man is damn wonderful and I can't wait to hear him live. check em out (as if anyone will see this) www.davidfrancey.com. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:myinvitation:962 2003-03-06T17:04:48Z 2003-03-06T17:04:48Z Bus Ride<br /><br />Waiting on the corner with a smoke in my hand<br />thinkin bout the war and my favorite band<br />Bus pulls up, I hop on, sit in a seat, put my headphones on<br />Thinking of green fields and the shinin sun, never realizin<br />winters not done/ Close my eyes, run to a place, where<br />everybody knows my face...<br />on the bus<br />I don't feel the same as I did<br />when I awoke today, oh yeah<br />on the bus<br />I lose my mind<br />I'm someone else<br />somewhere far away urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:myinvitation:721 2003-03-06T17:01:09Z 2003-03-06T17:01:09Z Sidewalks of Life<br /><br />I believe in fate<br />I beileve there is a path<br />Some are paved with gold<br />Mines a bumpy road<br />You know what?<br />I'm gunna pave it<br />and give it sidewalks and crosswalks<br />so you can feel safe<br />walking my path<br />I feel sorry for bringing you through that bumpy path<br />but I promise it will only get better urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:myinvitation:309 2003-03-06T16:53:17Z 2003-03-06T16:53:17Z One full day has passed since that wondrous night that Sarah Slean took to stage in St. John's. I can't stop thinking about it. It was a night of bliss. I got a chance to meet her before the show (and after), and even though I was probably all googley eyed, she was so so kind, so sweet, so adorable. After the second show (played back to back) I approached her to thank her for one of the most wonderful nights of my life. She put on her big smile touched my shoulder and said "Thank you so much". I felt like Martin, in one of her stories.<br /><br />If you ever get a chance to see her play, do so. I'm sure she is the best musician of my time and a wonderful performer. It was a dream to see her play, a recurring dream that I have again. Thank you Sarah.
