  2. lol, that's awesome mb!! (it just started snowing here for the first time this fall, so no bbq'ing for us!) i'll be watching here at home, hoping that America votes for Obama.
  3. happy happy happy to all three!!!
  4. Let me just start off by saying that I had pretty low expectations coming into this. After reading about some other VC'ers latest experiences at a Dylan show (mostly negative, that he's hit or miss from night to night) I was resigned to just take it as is and be ok with a sub-par show. Well, let's just say Bob had an "on" night! (According to the guy next to me, who was at the show in Calgary and not impressed, last night's show was amazing!) I was 8th row center on the floor, but i moved up into the 4th row when he first came out and everybody stood up and stayed standing throughout the ni
  5. sorry i missed this wendy. it was great meeting you this year and I hope all future roadtrips go off without any more car meltdowns! Here's to another great year full of love, friendship, and plenty of laughter!
  6. i really like glad it's over.
  7. Man, I wish a tide of orange would sweep across Canada. I voted for the NDP in my riding, which makes me feel good that I will be giving the party the $1.75 (or whatever it is) per vote. However, other than that my vote will be a complete waste. The only votes that matter are the ones that are cast for the winning MP in each riding. If you don't happen to vote for that person then your vote doesn't matter. And because this is a single member plurality (a majority isn't needed to win), this means that in some consituencies, the Majority of people's vote may not matter.
  8. The two songs that affected me the most were Fljotavik and Vidrar vel til Loftalasa and they both caused me to tear up because they are just so damn beautiful. The audience was awesome, being incredibly quiet until the very last note of each song had died out and then a huge applause erupted. It really was one of the best concerts i have ever been to (not that i've been to A LOT of shows). Then a funny thing happened when the gang from Parachutes came out to do some drumming on Gobbledigook, they were all dressed in Star Wars costumes which gave Jonsi a really big laugh. It was pretty awe
  9. Just wanted to see if there is anymore love for Chad VanGaalen at this point. I just saw him in Vancouver on Thursday night to a sold out crowd and it was AWESOME! I bought his new record, Soft Airplane, and I like it much more than his past 2 releases. It is more of a cohesive album IMO with no clunkers in the mix. I really liked about half of his other songs on each previous album, and the rest never really grew on me. I highly recommend you check him out live if he comes to a place near you and buy his latest album. Seriously, I listened to it the entire drive back from Vancouver and

I was with my brother and one of my sisters and we had GREAT seats: 4th row, dead center. The Chan Center was really beautiful. Apparently the architecture was inspired by the design of a cello. It had a very warm feeling, created by all of the wood, I think. It looked like ther
