One Tired Puppy...


I'm so horrible at updates. Since the last entry, I've seen the Flaming Lips, golfed twice, downed a shitload of Heineken, and caught up on my sleep. This morning was tough to get going again as I actually had 2 days off after the morning show run. After this shift, I have to drive to Toronto to jam with my friend Craig's band. By the time I get back to the "Shwa" I shall be zombified.

I get a few more days off this week too, so I think I'm going to head to the cottage for a few days. Watching the Masters inspires me to get out and golf more, so that I shall. I've already played 5 rounds, and got my first birdie last week. I hit the pin on the 3rd hole at Stonehenge with Karlie's Dad standing by. Big points there. In fact on the 4th, he offered to let me hit with his G2 driver. I smiled and declined. Like I need that on my conscience!

All in all, I guess things are cool for now. I miss my friends like crazy. It feels like I haven't seen Ray and the gang for months. This week I'm dedicating one night to the pub, no excuses.

Oh, and to finish...that Built To Spill show has been cancelled. I hope our trip is still on though...details to come.

Bob Pollard is opening for Pearl Jam on a couple of dates....http://www.robertpollard.net/ontour.html

OH OH OH ! I totally forgot...I'm interviewing Ben Gibbard tomorrow over the phone. The Feature will go to air following their show at Ricoh. Details coming....


Bye for Now....

Flaming Lips...




















I'm at Blake's. 3 Heinekens later and I'm out the door to catch the Flaming Lips at the Phoenix. I'm also bringing Rusty. You might know him from his recent article in National Post. He's famous. When I get back, and wake Paul up in a drunken stupor, perhaps I'll write a quick review and post some pics.

Wish Me Luck,

Matt
