Benoit managed to snag me a digital copy of Christmas in the Stars.

Excellent.

I cannot say I’ve listened to it yet, but there’s a song that’s called What Do you Get a Wookie when he already has a comb?

Classic. I’ll let you know how it is.

A great review of the album here.

In other news, Trish came through for Ben and Claude and they snagged two tix to the U2 show. At first, they were behind the stage, and now they have floor area tix. Man, those guys are lucky. I’m super happy that we are all going. We’ve been waiting for months!

Tonight’s mission – Go to some scalper’s and upgrade our tix to Floor. I’m willing to spend $100 to do so. Should be enough.

Everywhere I turn in this city, it’s all about U2.

I must admit that I am pumped. I felt that my experience at the Elevation tour in 2001 was a religious experience. Bono transcends the rock star persona to something more.

In other news, I’m trying to figure out how long are all-seasons good in the snow for? aka, how many kms? Dad suggested I look into getting winter tires…there goes my recording equipment fund down the drain. But seriously, I know the benefits of winter tires, yada yada yada, but with all-seasons with 36,000 kms on them, do I direly need them? Fill out the comment section with answer! I’m searching for the answer!

The lack of winter tires will allow me to purchase this:

I’ve been looking at getting recording equipment ever since our trip to Boston last year where I found out that I wouldn’t have a warranty covered in Canada. I’ve waited a year and now that Mike is moving in, I’m thinking of picking up something. This little ditty has a built in hard drive AND four inputs. What does this mean?

Let’s say Mike and I are on the road somewhere touring. We can plug in two guitars and two mics into the system and record ourselves. Instant soundboard recording.

Let’s say Mike and I just want to jam at home and we get something good but don’t want to forget about it in a week’s time. Boom. Tape it.

What if I want to write Tributes to Michael Bolton for a night? Well, I would just laugh that one off and go record some good rockin’ tunes.
