Rock Steady

I'm tired, but thought I'd get the pic's up, and start a blog.

Hmm, if I rememeber correctly, driving downtown was a pain. I hate driving downtown. But alas, I get to the Pantages Playhouse, and it is dark and looks as if no one was in there...and to my surprise, the Frank Black concert has been moved to The Pyramid, the bar where I went to see She Wants Revenge! So I kinda knew how to get there. I parked where I parked for Bad Religion, and walked....the opposite direction that the Pyramid was in, so I stopped and asked a guy where it was and he pointed me in the direction.

I get there around 8pm maybe? And there was a line up of maybe 50 people already. Who knew that Frank Black was that well known in Winnipeg? But supposedly Winnipeg does have a wide variety of music tastes, after all, they did bring Kenny Rogers here...haha, ok honestly I would've gone to see him if I had $70

Finally get in, expecting there to be a huge crowd of people in front of the stage. But no, there was maybe 7 of them. So I joined the few that were in front of the stage, and that's how I met my new friend Wanda. It was the longest wait in history so of course there's gonna be conversations involved. There was alot of talking between us, mostly about music of course and her two member band. There was alot of waiting too. Too much waiting.

Anyways, around 9ish I believe, Kentucky Prohpet came on to open for Frank. He was very huge. And very funny. He is a white rapper, but raps about obscene things like mutant girlfriends or whatever else. He had about 7 songs. Not quite sure. The crowd pretty much enjoyed him, except at the end of his set there was a guy who yelled out "DON'T COME BACK"...people are rude.

Umm, it was another long ridiculous wait. Some more talking. Wanda went to buy us a couple bottles of water. Then about 10 to 10pm, I really had to go to the washroom, like badly, stupid water. And there was a HUGE crowd all behind us and I knew if I left someone would take my place. So this guy beside me told his girlfriend he had to go to the washroom and I was like, hey hey wait for me! And they were like ok go with him we'll hold your place. So when I went back, sure enough they let me had my place back!

So front row to the left a bit. Great view. Frank Black came on and there was a roar. And yeah, just a great setlist, mostly songs off his new record. (FYI - Frank Black is the lead singer of the well known alternative rock band The Pixies) If you knew that already. I love you. Honestly. After he played, I quickly grabbed one of his playlists. The people beside me were quite jealous, yes. Wanda got one of Billy's drumsticks. After, we walked around, and some guy stopped me and was like is that Frank Black's set list and I said yeah and he's like "can I take a picture of it?" and I set it down and he's like "and that's Franks writing too!" Oh yes I'm special enough to get it.

After he played, Wanda and I went to get autographs, first from the guitarist, excellent guitarist! He thanked us for rocking out. And then went to get Billy's autograph, he said I had a great smile, and he signed the playlist "keep on smilin - billy"...hehe so cute. He was adorable. I wanted to hug him.

Umm, then we went over to meet Kentucky Prophet. He is such a nice-down-to-earth guy. He told us that he took Frank shopping to George Richards Big & Tall store and got Frank to help him buy new clothes for tonight's show. Haha. Yeah. That's basically my awesome night.

I drove Wanda home, she told me that I should jam with her band sometime! That was wikid. Anyways, peace out. Next concert: Goo Goo Dolls!

Well. I went to Regina last weekend because a friend of mine there bought us tickets to go to the folk festival! Yup! I was pretty excited to hear that we'll be seeing Ani DiFranco and Feist live. Feist exceptionally. So, I shall start from the beginning. Grab a bag of chips and some pop...

August 10th
I work from 2-8pm. I have to waste some time so I go to Wendy's for like an hour. Talked to my mom on the cell phone. Yadda Yadda. Around 9ish I took 2 buses I believe to get downtown to the bus depot. I friggen hate that bus depot. Reason being is because I'm racist. To only one kind of race really. Maybe two. But yeah. So I get there around 9:45pm. And take a seat in the way back. Talk to my mom on the cell phone again and waste some more time. I decide to get comfy and just stretch out and listen to my iPod. Haha...yeah, good luck getting comfy on those chairs. I might of been well off sitting on bare rocks. The confectionary place was closed so I couldn't get something to drink or eat. I sat some more. Finally some excitment happened when a lady was struggling, I mean really struggling to get her baggage into a locker. It's like one of those scenes in movies. It was hilarious. I was trying to help her, but she hurt me, cause I was trying to get the strap of the bag out of the way and she was kicking her bag and then it scraped my finger...so I was virtually no use. She had this little kid bike and she was trying to get that in there. Oh boy. Anyways, she gave up on the bike and decided to get another locker for her other bag and I gave her a dollar for her four quarters cause I'm generous. And she was off on her way. My bus departed at 11:45pm. The line-up for the bus was giant. How can that many people be going to Saskatchewan on a late Thursday night?! But afterall, when I got on the bus, I had two seats to myself.

There was no movie playing, so bascially, it was a boring ride. Very boring. I just listened to my iPod the whole way bascially. I think I fell asleep once or twice for like 10 mintues.

Arrive in Regina at 5:55am.

August 11th
I get off the bus and wait for my one bag. I spot Shelly, well I thought it was her, but I didn't do anything cause there was the off chance it wasn't...so I go to the other side of the bus and she comes up to me and ....yeah we're off.
It was sorta really quiet. But not awkward. We just had nothing to say I guess. I was dead tired and I felt like a bimbo, so I wasn't helping. We go to her place to drop off my bag and pick her mom up to take her to work. Her mom is extraordinaly nice. Had some conversations. And we're off again. After dropping her mom off, I think we went to Wal-Mart because I wanted to pick something up. Then we argue about what to eat for breakfast and end up going to McDonalds. I wasn't even hungry, and I don't think she was either. So we sat at her house giggling like children instead of eating. After that I took a shower, then I think we went to Regina's historic museum. I finally started talking more and lightning up.  It was fun. After that I think we went to the mall. And then we went to A&B Sound and found they were closing their doors. Poor Shelly. That was her favorite place to shop, she pretty much kept them in business for as long as they were there I am sure. Hmm then I think we went to HMV. I picked up Neko Case's: Blacklisted, Red Hot Chili Peppers: Californication, The Rasmus: Dead Letters, and The Breakfast Club.

I have no idea what we did after that. But around supper we went to Popperino's (sp?). Both had Chicken Stir Fry which we both couldn't finish.

Then off to Folk Fest! That was around 6:30-7pm I do believe. I forgot what we did when we first went there...I believe it was raining. So I think we ran back to her car and grabbed the chairs and umbrellas and such. We get back there, set up our chairs, and about 5 mintues later it stopped raining, and about 30 mintues later it was cleared up...

Again I forgot who we were watching. But we left our chairs and went to the merch tables and picked up...merch. Shelly helped me change into my new Ani t-shirt. Good times. She took her hat off and put her new Ani bandana on, and we were ready for...Ani!

We head to the stage for Bedouin Soundclash. We are off to the left of the stage, I had a good view while Shelly had a horrible view because there was a giant pole and some banner over a fence. Bedouin was AWESOME. Yes. They're so funkish. I love them. And I would really love to see them again sometime! I do remember them playing When The Night Feels My Song, Gyasi Went Home. Yes, if I knew more of their stuff I would tell you their full set list of course.

There was like two more acts after them, Nadia Gaudet played like two songs. Maybe it was just her. Anyways next was ANI DIFRANCO!

Her setlist which Shelly and I was terribly confused by, but I think she did a good job of remembering most of the songs...:
God's Country
Shroud
Nicotine
78% H2O
Decree
Hypnotized
Manhole
Studying Stones
Swan Dive
Encore:
Shameless
Evolve

From not knowing a whole bunch of her music, I really enjoyed her tremedously. She has a good vibe. Outgoing personality, very funny. At the end of one song I remember her saying "Did anyone else smell donuts right in the middle of that song?" Then she want on about how Tim is fucking rich and should be the face on the loonies.
Sad moment: I could've sworn she was going to play The Whole Night, which is my favorite song of hers. But alas, it turned into Shameless. Which I have no complaints, well I guess I do. But whatever! Nothing I could've done. So her set lasted till about 11:30pm I think.
Shelly and I both deaf went back to her car to go back to her house. We were both in pretty good moods after that.
I think we watched tv or something, then off to bed we went.

August 12th
Got up about 10:30am. Got ready. We headed out about noon I think. Oh we did so much Saturday...we went to a couple music stores, the mall and bought sweaters spontaneously. I believe we went to back to the festival after that and watched...alot of bands play. We grabbed lunch. Walked around, saw some more bands/artists. I am 'in love' with Kyrie K. Haha. Yes.

So since we didn't have tickets to see the 'bigger' artists/bands perform that night, I believe Steve Earle was one of the artists performing, we left around 5:30pm.

Went to the movie theatre and watched Over the Hedge. Good movie. Then we went and bought the movie Waiting... and bought us some supper at The Extreme Pita. Went back to her place and watched the movie and ate. Then watched some Tori Amos music videos. Bedtime.

August 13th
Got up about the same time, showered, blah blah. I believe we headed right out to the festival. Got lunch. Watched the bands perform. We saw Feist perform!!!! And I met her!!! I love her too. I asked if I could take a picture with her and she's like "haha, I haven't combed my hair in like three days!". Anyways, got my pic with her. Shelly and I were walking and she stopped to meet Rozina from LAL. I asked if they really opened for Nelly Fertado before and t'was true. Asked her if she still talks to her cause apparently they are good friends, and she said they hardly get in touch anymore...I wonder why! Maybe because she's a big ass hoe-bag slut now! How 'bout that.

After that meeting. We...um. Oh, we got pizza and then it started to rain so we ran to her car. And of course the day we WEREN'T prepared with umbrellas it starts to pour. So we sat in her car, then she went and phoned her dad to bring us some umbrellas and a blanket. Then what does it do after all of that? It clears up! No way. So...anyways. We set up our chairs in the back. Watched Angela Menard. I do believe that is one artist I can stand to live without her music. That's just way too much. Hmm, Five Star Homeless came on, and we left to go to the merch tables again. Pretty much bought every cd there. No, really. Hmm, I do believe after that we sat down for a bit. Some guys came over to us asking if we'd like our picture taken, it'd be posted on a website and we could download it for free. Sure. Then some 50/50 draws we entered. Then decide to ditch the chairs because I was panicing over a bunch of people standing in a line. I just knew those savages were waiting in line for Feist. So poor Shelly had to bring the huge heavy backpack full of stuff with us. But we made it to the front again. I have no idea how, but we did. We sat there through Utah Phillips. That guy is hilarious. Don't be decieved by his age. His humor has it all. But his songs weren't quite my thing. That was some pure folk. After Utah, it was Alpha Ya Ya.

That was one enjoyable concert right there. Very much for the lady who was shaking her booty through the whole thing for us. But no, it was fantasic. Got the crowd really pumped up for Feist!!!

Yes, Feist! She puts on an incredible concert. She can really rock that guitar too. That's hot. Fun fact: Feist has roots to Regina! Apparently her grandparents lived there, and she would go visit them and all that. That was neat to find out. Her setlist:
When I Was A Girl
Secret Heart (about when she would visit her grandparents in Regina, her grandfather would take her to the old clock tower and yeah...)
Inside And Out (solo on her acoustic)
Mushaboom

and a bunch of new songs from her up and coming album! Which sounds like a fantasic one! Can't wait.

After Feist was the big finale which everyone, except Ani DiFranco, went on stage and sung Sunshine my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray...etc. Good finale. TOFU (Tons of Fun University) and Kyrie K. went on and did a final song together. T'was good. Good good finale. I miss it already...and I erased the picture of it because I was trying to make room for another picture...:(

Well that was a fantastic weekend! I would do it all over again yes, definitely! Maybe I will check out Winnipeg's Folk Festival next summer...

August 14th
Woke up, said my goodbyes. Shelly dropped me off at the bus depot. Off to another long bus ride, though this bus ride was 9 hours. And stopped in like every fricken town possible. I was so upset by the time I was back in Winnipeg, which was at 9:45pm. And I left Regina at 12:00pm.

So, 21 cd's, new sweater, new hat, $550 spent, 3 new crushes later, I am still wanting to be back there. And I don't know why!

Greeley Estates, Yesterday's Rising, So They Say, The Stiletto Formal

Ok evening: left class early at 6:10pm to bus it to the mall where my mom was waiting with my purse and my chucks. Changed shoes real quick and ran to another bus to go yes, back downtown.

So I get off the bus early thinking I'll walk the rest of the way, but I seriously always get lost, whenever I'm gonna be somewhere at a decent time, something messes up. So I walk up and down the street where WECC is, but I guess I don't go far enough up the street. So I ask these two guys by the Ramada where it is and they say they don't know and ask if I was going to see Greeley tonight, and I said yeah, and the one guy was like "well if you see (said some girls name) slap her for me, she'll be wearing green laced leotards". Umm ok right. Thanks for their wonderful help. So I go up down Ellice again, and I get frightened easily, so bascially I was running down the street, and yeah I FINALLY get there at like 7:45pm. Doors opened at 7:15....ugh. I go in, give the one guy the ticket, another guys asks if I'll be drinking, and I said "yeah, probably"...haha. Checks my I.D., and then he stamped me and I go in.

So The Stiletto Formal were playing when I first got there. I was deaf in like 2 minutes. I was standing in the back of the venue for about 5 mintues before I decided to go check out the merchandise. Greeley had no pins so I was sad and moved on to The Stiletto Formal table and I bought their two of their pins. I proceed to where I was first and try and pin one of them onto my bag but it was dark and no such luck. I then decide to go get a drink, and I see Guinness. I was like, no harm in trying something new so I paid $5.00 for it. I go back to where I was again and try pinning the pin on again with no luck. I see my friend Trevor come in and I yell his name but he didn't hear me. So I poured the beer into the cup and I walked over to him. We stand there and listen to TSF until their set is done. They were an interesting band, they toured with one of my fav bands "theSTART" a few times, so that's neat. After their set we go and sit down at a table and talk.

So They Say is on next, we go and listen to them, they were ok...rocked out to them a bit, they only had like a 5 or 6 -person mosh pit.

Went and sat down again and chatted.

Next up: Yesterday's Rising. I really really enjoyed them. Nice screamo band. But they mix screaming with melancholy sound. Trev enjoyed them too. Again though, they had a small mosh pit. I wish their set was a bit longer, maybe they'll come back another day.

Up next: GREELEY ESTATES. Yesss, wow, what an intesnse mosh pit, concert....amazing performance. Lots of people were moshing, and Trev helped some of the people out and the lead singer (Ryan) shook his hand! It was neat. They played "Y'all With The Vampire Squad", and I swear my voice ran out during the song. Umm, what else. It was great. And yeah, if you EVER get a chance to see these guys and you like screamo, GO SEE THEM! They are worth every penny.

So after their encore, Trev and I go get some water. Then I asked him if he wanted to meet the band and take pics with them and he's said no. But then when he wanted to go check out the merch, he changed his mind. So I took his pic with Josh first, then with Ryan and Dallas together. And then to top it off, like shaking his hand wasn't enough, Ryan gives Trevor a FREE t-shirt for helping people in the mosh pit out! Uh, yes very jealous!!!! It's a sweet tee.

So yessss he drives me back home and now I am here reminising (sp?) of the awesome and tiring evening. Goodnight, peace. <3

Next concert: Dashboard Confessional w/ City And Colour!!!!

Well another concert has come and gone. As I sit here drinking my Red Bull and listen to tunage, I've realized I've become nonetheless: deaf.

That was one LOUD concert. Hmm, so my night: we'll start off with...missing 3 buses. Yup always late for concerts. So I walked from my house down Dakota a bit. And picked up a bus. Then at the mall I picked up another bus but it was the wrong bus haha..yup. So I had to go back to the mall and pick up the right bus. Then I had no idea where the Collective was anyways, never been to that venue before. But I found it alright. Went in, got stamped. The stamp was glow-in-the-dark. Tis pretty sweet. I asked the security person if I missed much, cause the doors opened at 6pm, but I didn't get there till 8 or a bit after. He said I hardly missed anything. I guessed I only missed Machete Avenue. So I went in and found The Spill Canvas on stage rocking out already. I was pretty much in the middle of the crowd, could hardly see anything cause there was this tall guy in front of me. So they played like 4 songs. And yeah, not alot of people seemed to enjoy them, except a few girls. So after they were done, I made my way to the front.

Next up: A Wilhelm Scream. At first I was really digging them. Good screamo band. So I was having a good time taking pictures and such, then all of a sudden the lead singer said: "Now we're going to worship Satan!"...Uh yeah. Ok. I don't think so. So I stoped dancing a bit. Worship Satan? Ugh. Oh well, I didn't enjoy them that much after that.

After them: BAYSIDE! Yes, the band I've been waiting for about a year now to see live. And the wait was really worth it. I find if you liked the band before you see them live, chances are you'll like them even more live. And that's the way it went. The only downfall is they didn't play "Dear Tragedy" or "Don't Call Me Peanut". Oh well. I wanted to get the one of the two set-lists but no some savages already grabbed them before they even finished. Oh well...they played:

Montauk
Devotion And Desire
Blame It On Bad Luck
They Looked Like Strong Hands
Existing In A Crisis (Evelyn)
Tortures Of The Damned
Half A Life
Masterpeice

It was the single most exciting moment I've enjoyed in awhile. Well longer than a moment. But it was great.

Next: Protest the Hero. I really enjoyed them. When I went to The Used / Alexisonfire concert, people DO NOT know how to mosh. Bascially cause alot of them are young and dumb and just push you around. But this time people knew how to mosh. Even the girls were doing it. Except there was this one fellow...I don't know if he was drunk or just really excited but he kept crowdsurfing onto the stage and then he'd dance on there with the band and grab them and stuff. And he fell so many times. Then he moshes right into me so I backed up and let him have my place right in the front. But he didn't stay there long. Gah, I'm glad he went on the other side of the mosh pit. I've never been so close to a band like Protest. The bassist, and guitarists kept coming really close to me. And all I could do was headbang.

I think I recognized Chris from my old high school (MBCI)...I could've sworn that was him. He's turned emo. Heh. Yeah well that was a fun time. My legs and knees are burised quite badly, cause since I was right at the front, people kept moshing into me and I kept getting mashed into the stage.

Well next concert, hopefully it will be Greeley Estates, or maybe Saves the Day. We shall see. <3

Metric...again. Wow I can't believe how much I love this band. Or actually, I can believe, cause they just put on such a great show. Who saw them coming...

You ask was this concert better than their first. My answer, yes. Not to say the first time I saw them they were horrible. But the Burton Cummings Theatre is bigger, better place to be, and that place Metric deserves to be. Not the Ramada like last time. I think the concert was sold out, if not, really close then. I was 11th row, centre. So I had a decent seat.

So I get there around 20 after 7 pm. Late again as per usual to concerts. Doors opened at 7. So when I got there, no one was playing yet. I chatted on the cell with Richa for a half hour a bit longer. 8pm this band came on, didn't hear of them before, and now I totally forgot their name. Oops. They were good though. They kept breaking guitar strings though, that must've been quite embarrasing but the lead singer said "Don't worry, we will persevere for you Winnipeg".They played like 4 songs. Then around 9pm The Elected came on. I thought they'd be a bit better than they were. No offence to anyone who likes them. They kinda bored me to say the least. They played a few songs.

After they played I went out to the lobby and checked out the bands merchandise. I wanted a Metric hoodie sooooo bad. But of course I didn't take money out of the bank...(always thinking)...I went out to see if I could see the nearest bank, but I couldn't see anything except a hotel and some more stores. So I went back to the concert area. Some guy stopped me thinking I was playing the whole "run-in-without-a-ticket" stunt. So I had to show him my ticket. Then show some other lady my ticket to go back to my seat.

I think it was around 10:10pm Metric came on. Man, that was a long wait...from purchasing the ticket Jan. 27th then waiting till tonight, then having them come on at 10...jeez. But yeah, it was so worth the wait. I wanted to get closer to the stage, but people started lining up right after The Elected played. Savage animals. Just kidding, but seriously. I was kinda mad cause I wanted to get a good spot. Oh well. So yeah they came on and as I took the first picture, one of the security staff came over to me and told me "no cameras allowed here" and I said "oh I'm so sorry" and he said "just hide it *wink*" So yeah I got away with that one, phewf. Ok now....(I shall tell you their playlist):

Live It Out
Glass Ceiling
Too Little Too Late
Poster Of A Girl
Monster Hospital
Patriarch On A Vespa
The Police And The Private
Ending Start
Calculation Theme
Wet Blanket

Encore:
Combat Baby
Hustle Rose
Empty
Dead Disco
Love Is A Place

Well...most of them are in order. They opened with "Live It Out" and ended with "Love is a Place". So I am deaf and tired. And I want them back again really really really soon. I just can't get enough of them. Oh one thing though, Emily Haines didn't do her dance moves as much as she did in the first concert...:(
Oh well I danced enough for that whole concert. 3 levels of screaming fans was a way to end a good concert.

I <3 Metric x 1000000.394

Another amazing concert to add to the list of amazing concerts I've been to :P

So, my parents and I left at 6pm to get McDonalds. Ate. Then drove downtown and went to park the vehicle. And ya know, I told my parents we were gonna be really early. We get to the MTS centre at like 6:35. The concert doesn't start till 7:30. So we awhile waiting. My mom went to get coffee and stuff, and my dad and I talked about where I sat at Gwen Stefani and Foo Fighters, and then we talked about hockey, and then we talked about this guy who had a pair of binoculars. I dunno. I think it's the funniest thing when people bring binoculars to concerts. Finally my mom comes back. 10 minutes later the concert starts. Daniel Powter. Hmm. What can I say. I didn't really really enjoy him. One thing his mic was way too loud. Another thing, there's only so much you can do with two keyboardists, a bass guitar and drums. But I still really like his song "Bad Day". Maybe I'll like his cd better. I'll have to check it out. His on stage personality was cool though, he was a nice fellow. Talked about how he travelled with Bryan before, to like Europe, and was saying how he used to grow up listening to his music, and he was also saying how he's amazing cause he never seems to miss a note (talking about Bryan). So he played like 4 or 5 songs. Ok. Waited for a half hour.

Man, that was a full concert, I'm not too sure it was sold out, but it was damn close. So, Bryan comes on I think at 8:30. A very loud welcome for him. He opens with "Room Service". Well, I'll just tell you the playlist from what I remember...in no particular order:

Room Service
Somebody
18 Till I Die
I'm Coming Back To You
Can't Stop This Thing We Started
Back To You
Summer Of '69
Heaven
Run To You
(Everything I Do) I Do It For You
Cuts Like A Knife
The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You
Kids Wanna Rock
Straight From The Heart
Baby When You're Gone
When You Love Someone
It's Only Love
When You're Gone
Open Road
Let's Make A Night To Remember

Encores:
All For Love
Room Service (acoustic/solo)

Ok well all I remember, there are like a few more I forgot. I'll prolly get them later. Cause there was like 5 songs he played acoustic and by himself.

For "Baby When You're Gone", he brought up someone out of the audience. Her name was Rosa, and she worked at Royal Bank (everyone started booing). She didn't know all of the words. So Bryan was saying to her, you're not on a good start here, 1)  you're from a bank, 2) you don't know all the words, and and 3) you say you can't sing. Then she goes on to say "But I'm cute!" And so Bryan goes "Well, I'll have to give you that one, cause you are." And then he asked someone to get the lyrics for the song so she can sing with him. It was actually the cutest/funniest thing I've seen at a concert. Well, one of the funniest things. She kept having to look down on the floor to see the words, and then she'd lose her place, it seemed she only knew the chorus hehe. Then she went on to dance and grind with him. Then he asked her who she's there with and she goes "With my friend, well actually my brother's best friend." And everyone goes "OHHH" and claps a bit. And then she goes "No, no! We're just friends!" And Bryan goes "Sure, sure. But I do have free t-shirts for you and your friend there." Lucky lucky, man I'm sure she'll be talking about that forever.

For the song "All For Love", he went down to the front row, and hugged people, and took pictures with them, and shook people's hands!!!! What a personable guy, really. He sure knows how to win over a crowd.

Things I remember Bryan saying:

"Last time I came to Winnipeg, I had to get to the plane, but there was lots of snow, so I had to take a snowmobile to get there. So this time I came thinking I'd need to get another snowmobile ride, but there's no snow! (then there was a clapping, then he went on to say) "So I went to the lady at the desk of the hotel and asked for a snowmobile and she said to me "Hunny, everything I do, I'll do it for you"
And that's how he went into (Everything I Do) I'll Do It For You.

"I love being a singer/songwriter. You can write about alot. And there's this one song I want to share with you, and I never knew what it was about, and I still don't know what the hell it's about, but it has nothing to do with the summer of '69. (and that's how he went into Summer of '69.

"I was talking to some people of the MTS Centre earlier and they were telling me how of all the times I played in Winnipeg, tonight is the biggest concert you've given me!"

Keith Scott was the other guitarist. He was AMAZING! Wow, what a talented soul. He was kinda stealing the show away from Bryan there for a bit :-P

Well, that's basically it, if you want to know more, go here: http://www.truenorthproject.mb.ca/press_releases/content.php?press_id=117

That's a bit of detail plus pictures of Bryan Adams and I think there's one picture of Keith. They were both wearing black t-shirts and jeans.

Ok, so if you want to see a good rock 'n roll concert, not hard rock like AC/DC of course, but good soft rock n' roll, you should definately check him out and go to a concert of his if you haven't already.

So next concert, well. To be honest there isn't anyone currently I want to go see. Hilary Duff comes January 15th, I don't think so. And Nickelback comes soon, forget when but it's a bit too late to get tickets. And Brad Paisley and Terri Clark come soon too. But it's too late for me to get tickets. Well, I'm sure there are tickets left but I don't want a crappy seat. So I asked my parents if I could go to the Winnipeg Folk Festival for my birthday this summer, they said ok. Woohoo, gonna be 20 years old! Can't wait. Take care kids. <3
