Top 5 Bands I've seen this year (for the first time)
1. The Arkells
I saw this band 3, count'em, 3 times in 2009. The last time, in November, was the greatest, as Heath and Rach were there to share the experience with me. The best band to come out of Hamilton since...well, has there been another band?
2. Great Bloomers
I saw this band in Toronto oh, 3 times? and then once more in Winnipeg with my sisters, both of whom felt a deep like for them! They are the closest genre to country that I will admit to liking and even still, I would consider them more pop than anything else, as they are great to dance to!
3. Jet
I've been waiting to see Jet for the loooongest time and I got the shock of my life when they actually came to Toronto when I was there, and an even bigger shock when they came to Winnipeg in the fall. They are great live! And their Scottish roadie is ridiculously nice!
4. Jamie Cullum
Jamie was FAB-u-lous! Any man that will open up his piano, pluck the strings, and then jump on top has my vote as a great entertainer. He also has the same birthday as me, and gave me cheek kisses when I informed him of this! *swoon*
5. AC/DC
Been waiting to see this band since at least 2001, and got the chance to see them twice in 2009, once in Fargo, once in Winnipeg. For a band that has been around this long, it's great to see that they are still great performers. Angus is INSANE! and you've gotta love stage gimmicks like giant tattooed boobular women.

dynamite
I'm done!!! School, that is. All I want to do now is kick back and relax, which is what I think I will do tonight. I'm feeling the start of a cold so I just need to get loads and loads of sleep, tea, and vitamin C.
Got my tickets for AC/DC so I'm psyched! and Friday night was Wide Mouth Mason and it was ever so much fun. Love hanging out with the girls (and Blaine). It was a great show.
11 days until I leave! I still have to pack but I think I resist it until I feel better and until I can pack more items.

mashed potato, wha wha!
If it's not one thing, it's another, right?
My big computer is broked, so I'm on the little baby sapphire, which is just a
s well, since I'm in my jammies, watching House, and getting little homework done.
In the past 3 weeks:
-Manitoba Showcase (Jan. 8) was fun, except for some rugrats sitting beside us who thought it was fun to flash cameras at us throughout the entire show. I was ready to rip them out of their hands and stamp on them. Such is what happens with a free show in Winnipeg. It's too bad that the Waking Eyes only got one song, but at that, it was great--way better than the Acoustic version of All Empires Fall that they did for a magazine website.
-Heather's partay! (Jan. 9) dressed like the Hives--or rather, H and I did! Sushi was delish, bowling was fun--and free.
-AC/DC!!! (Jan. 17) whooohooooo! The trip was fun, less some "bros" who put a serious dent in the bus's clean air, had a weird fascination with Sade's Smooth Operator, and were unbelievably awake despite our 5am return time.
A little Highway?
Let There Be Rock
That band still puts on a great show. I was a bit disappointed with the crowd though; perhaps all Fargo crowds are like this---not excited in the least. Here's hoping for a Winnipeg show in the summer: maybe there are more hosers in Winnipeg?
-Sammy Roberts! (Jan. 22) Always a good show! And the Nuge was so dancey, it was great.I think I'm going to bring a sign that says "NUGE" next time, haha
.
-Modernized on Saturday (Jan. 24) was so much fun! What could be better than Wilson Pickett, James Brown, Nancy Sinatra, The Beatles, the Isley Brothers, and all by request? Good times.
Anywho, I'm going to save this puppy to add pictures from my other computer later (which, at the moment, is now working--but for how long) and off I go to do more homework.

Bryan wasn't always amused.
