Watch my life unravel...
|
I usually time my holidays so they coincide with Bluesfest, but it didn’t work out that way this year. Instead I’m spending my holidays recuperating from Bluesfest. I only booked two weeks holidays, but I should have gone for more. I get seven weeks annual leave, which is mostly theoretical since I can never take […] I used to be a drug addict on the streets of Ottawa. That whole period of my life is a bit hazy, but it started in my teens and lasted a few years. Amphetamines were relatively cheap and plentiful at the time, and they were my drug of choice. I wasn’t in good shape. I […] Bluesfest was a blast yesterday, despite the rain and a serious case of Bluesfest Fatigue. A lot of people I talked to are happy today’s the last day. We love Bluesfest, but we’re burning out. The best performance of the day was Danny Michel. I’ve never seen him before, and he’s terrific, definitely worth standing […] I ran into some of Stu’s BBQ Blues Crew on Day 9, but without Stu.

We couldn’t find either, so we left around 8:00. We did consider staying for Los Lobos, but we just didn’t have it in us. Too many days […] Late last night I left the Flatlanders at the River Stage to go home, and decided to stop for a quick pee on my way out. If you’ve ever been in a Porta Potty late at night, you know how dark they are. Since the P-Mate woman hadn’t had a chance to visit the blog […] I saw Sarah Harmer at Bluesfest yesterday. She seems like a good musician and a lovely person, and I wanted to like her show but I was a little bored. The thing is, I can walk all day but I find standing for an hour and a half in a densely packed crowd pretty hard. […] |
