The Underdogs

Found this on the Snailhouse site! Ahhh it was Moncton, it was the 80s, and I was a 16 year old kid in the audience…

Sound Alliance Benefit Tonight

I’ll be at this benefit from shortly after 6:00pm until the end if anyone wants to join me. The project is very cool, and I’ll post a YouTube video of it shortly.
 
Hi Folks,

We’re throwing a fundraiser/going away party for the Sound Alliance Project on Friday May 18th @ Blizzarts!

The Sound Alliance is a ‘mobile recording studio’ that travels to remote regions of the world assisting artists in the recording and distribution of their music and ensures that artists retain all copyrights to their work. The team has been working really hard for the past two years to put this together, and they’re leaving for Belize, Mali and the Soloman Islands in a few weeks.

We’d love for you to come out and have some drinks with us to show your support and check out what they’re doing. Hope to see you there!

Ad Truck Begone

Yet another online petition… this one about getting rid of those horrible
advertising trucks:

I really do wish those things (the trucks not the petitions) would go away.

Very Strange

2007-04-01 Training (good)

Ok no more messing around. Training went back on track today. The next 2 months will be run focused, with swimming coming second, and cycling third. I’m still going to be distracted, but I’ll figure out a way to manage it all.

My run was OK, although my recovery seems to be a little slower than I would have thought for a wee 21k, but then again I have been slacking. I’ve got to work in getting my speed up over the next 3 weeks, and then even more so after my 21k race on April 22.

Total Time: 1:54
2:00 pm – Random Street Run
- run: 21k 1:54 street run

Critical Mass

Well it’s the first Critical Mass of the season this evening… I’ve never ridden in one although I do like the idea. However, I will not be riding in this one either, but if your interested you should show up at:

5:30pm at Phillips Square, Ste-Catherine @ Union
