This post turns out to be post number eleventy-one...equivalent to Bilbo Baggins' eleventy-first birthday (LOTR reference for you fanatics out there). It's short one "1" to be the value of an 11:11 wish, but since it'd take light years for me to get to 1,111 posts (and since I can do what I want on my blog), you can wish upon my 111th blog post.
On another note-
Last night, I went to a concert at the Pyramid again with my roommate, her friend, and Manny-o. This time, Vancourite hip-hop artist Shad and opening act from Winnipeg Grand Analog took the stage. (Sorry you had to miss it Cam- I know you would have loved it!). I have to say though- it was definitely one of the most bizarre concert experiences. Other than the fact that the crowd was more vanilla milkshake than you'd expect, I got completely boxed out by a 10'2" guy with his 8'10" girlfriend (quote- Manny: "I've never felt so average height"), got my personal space black hole'd when Shad came into the audience for his encore song and the world seemed to collapse around us (I literally couldn't stop laughing 'cause there was nothing I could do but attempt my basketball box-out skills to stay vertical...win: stayed vertical...fail: never want to be in a mosh-pit again).
I think one of the best things was the whitest bass guitarist/keyboardist in the history of hip-hop looked 16/17 and sported a wedding band (see pic 4). Shad spit some HOT fire (he would have won Sungnation's Challenge, hands down). And I happened to briefly chat with the Shad-man before the show (chill guy).
I'd also like to say that the whole time I saw Shad on stage, I could only picture the one and only Kris Saint! For some reason, they seemed to look alike to me and both very clever lyrics and style. I see your future Saint.
After the show- one of Grand Analog's good friends (Stefan?...Stephen?....Steven?) who was "with the band" approached me, chatted, & began to creep me out (came to point of me lying and saying that I was taken) soooo, that was my cue to leave.
If you want to know more deets, let me know- so many weird things....
