I saw lots of great music over the course of the 2008 Ottawa Folk Festival, including a veritable festival unto itself on August 14th, 2008, the first night of the festivities…
One of the great things about living in Ottawa are all the festivals and celebrations that happen all summer long. One of my annual favourites is the Festival of India…
On June 11th, 2016 I rode my bike to Westboro in Ottawa’s west end to see Must Stash Hat in my friend’s backyard…
On June 7th, 2016 I returned to the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum for another romp through science fiction memorabilia masquerading as a museum exhibit, this one focussed on the Star Trek universe…
The Tulip Fest used to be an excellent little addition to Ottawa’s wide offering of annual music…
I believe this might mark the last time I saw Drums & Tuba, a quirky-by-definition trio that first came to my attention at an Ani DiFranco concert on this exact date in ’99…
It’s great to see a band when they are still on top of their game, even if they’ve been there for a quarter of a century. I don’t know how it took so long for me to jump on this band’s wagon but I will definitely be seeing Pearl Jam again and again and as often as I can from now on…
April 4th, 1991 was my first time seeing the great, great Paul Simon. The show was relatively small, taking place in the 9,000 seat Ottawa Civic Centre just a short stroll from Carleton University’s campus where I was living in one of the school’s residence buildings…
I went to the show, Dorothy and her pals were victorious, that sneaky little wizard learned a thing or two as did that wicked old witch, the orchestra was as great as usual, and of course those flying monkeys freaked me right out…
On March 22nd, 2019 I was just sitting around the house twiddling my thumbs and minding my own business when a message came in from a friend:
“Last minute heads up…” it read, “I’ve started going to a monthly minor league “professional” wrestling event…”
And just like that he had my undivided attention…
