U Don Know Shi~

Since our 4-20 Winnipeg review the emails have been comin’ in.  Apparently I missed some choice w3ed-heads in the bleary eyed crowd.

Like this Guy:

Prince Fan? Vampire? Lo$er>?!

Also voted ‘ most likely to shoot up the high school 2009′ we’re probably lucky this fella is on the dope.

The silver chains and loops on this shotgun hiding ensemble both add flair and prove useful when attempting to dock to fat goth chixz.

Bonus points for the matching purple homey-tail elastic.

I was on the bus from downtown admiring the beautiful pplz of winnerpeg when

!* BAM *!

There he was:

'Chameleons vary greatly in size and body structure' - Weinerpedia

This particular species appears to sweat profusely and is assumed to have taste for fried foods and anime. He appeared calm and undisturbed by the smell of pi$$ on the buss.

Last week a breezed into a party at the Royal Albert.

On the stage: Victoria’s Metal Men : : : : : Archon Legion.

Beckoning lord sat@n with sweep picking

When I went to write this post I got to thinking: “What does Archon Legion mean?”

Well… I found this description, which (if ur too lazy to clik on the link) was basically::

In pre-4th edition versions of the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, archons are a type of lawful good celestial

But hey, metal is often pretty nerdy.

So anyway…

.

They made me wish I lived in the era of ripped jeans, maiden hair and parking lot metal.  Nothing says party like chicks in 80s jeans and hairspray afterall.

Word on the street is that they had got a better drummer and a 3rd guitar player since their last visit to Winnipeg & thus, didn’t suck anymore

Bottom Line: If 80’s riffage and man wails is your thing, please go check ‘em out.  they’re on tour with Winnipeg’s maiden power ghost -> Evil Survives <- for another week.

r best and brightest

Smoke date: April 20th, 2010.

A bunch of sweaty hippies, high school kidz and folks of the lower echelon of Winnipeg’s IQ pool gather for a ‘protest’ in the name of weed.

There wuz a drum circle:

Maaaaaaan... that groove is, like Dave Matthews good#!^

Finally.  An excuse to wear tie dye and that weed logo addidas shirt your mom doesn’t know about.

The only thing more present than the smell of mariwhana was the smell of B.O. and wheat grass. Most notably by the ‘fire dancers’ and hoola hoop dreadfest.

Life is is is is is a circle we all share

There is nothing more beautiful than a woman with hairy pits and a hoola hoop.

.

The smartest hot dog cart guy in town set up shop in front of the ledge, guaranteeing he can take the next 5 days off.

No 4.20$ dealz; regular price bitchezzz

This party was a definite excuse to skip last period and get high.  However there was one group I noticed that seemed to be abstaining from the festivities.

Can we taze 'em now? how about now?....

So there you have it.

420.

Weed still isn’t legal or decriminalized.  Downtown wuz flooded with people craving cheetos and far from their suburban ‘hood.  

The lawn of legislature was a f*ckin’ mess.

I can feel tha change happenin'. 'The man' is listenin' man

This… is a great day. I’ve finally got a photo of Yanni-peg.

BEHOLD*!

Hair blowin' in the wind; Music in his memories

There have been many days when Yanni-peg and I have crossed paths but I have been to awe-struck to get a clear photo.

Alas… I have two <3

If you don’t know who Yanni is, I recommend you check out these great Yanni moments.

The dirty thaw is done and we’re taking our lunch reviews to the streets of Winnipeg.

It’s Hot Dog Cart Season*^!

The street meat hoth cumm

We’re kickin’ off the dog days of downtown with Awesome Dog at Portage and Carlton.

My initial impression was ‘Using awesome in your cart name is setting the bar pretty high buddy’.

Then he asked if I wanted a white or whole wheat bun.

That.

is Awesome^!

Check the fully stocked, no BS condiment rack:

Scoop / Spread / Squirt 2 ur pleasure

So 5$ and 5 minutes later I was presented with this beauty:

Countdown to heartburn begin in 3... 2... 1...

The dog itself was peppery, but not over stated. Also it seemed fairly lean (given the fact that it a hot dog). I have a feeling this cart this cart has set a high standard for the hot dog reviews to come.

Hot Dog Score: 8.7 /10
Overall Lunch Score: 6 / 10 (6 is the max score a hot dog can receive)

As many of y’all noticed we haven’t posted much shi~ lately. I was in Toronto Ontario Canada on business.

My business was drinkin’ booze and business was good.

On April 7th I staggered over to see Drive by Truckers at Lee’s Palace. These guys have been piling shi~ on the buzz wagon for a while, so I went to check it out.

In true ‘country mouse in tha big city’ style I got too drunk and wandered around the Bloor and Young subway station trying to figure out what train went where; (they all look the same damnit!) but eventually made it on ova….

I've added hats for authenti$ity

Show’s in the big city start early.  I got there at 10:30 and the Truckers were already into their set.  Another thing that grinded both my ass & my wallet was the price: $15 on the internet / $35 at the door -> A true Winnipeg WTF*^!

Actual Show Review

At their best they sounding like Neil Young; at their worst they reminded me of Phish; at their own sounded like pure indie-alt-country.  The place was packed, mostly with sweaty dudes and I would say everyone was down with the cause.

T dot Oh dot wants to be a cowboy… as long as he wears distressed designer jeans.

They did not play the only song I know (while I was there anyway) so I give it to you now:

Bottom Line: 7/10 - I was completely underwhelmed; kinda wanted my $35 back.
