In lieu of most of the world (or in Canada) ending on May 25, drink a lot of beer this weekend.

Call Out For Tunes!
Well, after much deliberation on my part, I have decided to go up to Matt’s cottage longer than I expected. There is a bachelor party planned during the same time for Shannon and Adam so I will split my time between the two – which is aided by the fact that they will be (hopefully) showing up to the cottage sometime Saturday afternoon.
CALL OUT! You have until 3:30 today to submit your picks of tunes you want to hear on the guitar this weekend. Even if I don’t know it, I’ll print out the music and wing it. Granted, if I hadn’t heard the song at all, you’re out of luck.
I think I may have freaked out Vero a little when I told her about the slave auction. I wasn’t thinking of it and now it’s too late for her to back out of it. It won’t be too bad…as long as I don’t buy her. I am notorious for being evil to my slaves.
What’s the slave auction? Well, every newcomer to the cottage party gets auctioned off as a slave on Saturday day to the highest bidder and then they remain that way until Monday (or when one of them leave – but you have to be up front as to when you plan to leave). It’s pretty tame for the most part…fetch your master a beer, cook him some hot dogs…we don’t allow for the washing of dishes. Joe and I may be notorious for making people wear outrageous outfits such as underwear on their head, but besides that, it’s all good fun!
And now that the party is on, I have to rush fast to make a killer t-shirt!

Mike and Sam at OLP
Oh, blogger, you finally work. Two days later this photo is able to upload.
Samantha (Mike’s sister) came into town for a few days as she was in Montreal for a business trip. Seeing that Our Lady Peace was in town, they decided to pick up some tickets. I mentioned to them that I didn’t feel like going as I had already seen them this year, but mentioned that they should wait until the last day tickets are on sale because they usually open up more floor seats after measuring the stage.
So, that’s what they do…pick up a few floor tickets for themselves and head off. Keep in mind that they are not entirely excited about this ordeal as they have no idea where their seats are. When I checked them out online, I noticed they were in Section .B, and not B which I took as probably some extra space they opened up in behind Section B. Only makes sense.
So, they get to the Scotiabank Place, find section B (or .B turns out there was no difference) and proceed further, further, closer, closer to the stage until they get to three rows in front of the stage!
AS IF.
They said the concert was great…I read somewhere that Matt and Jen went to the concert randomly also.
So, they are in the Ottawa Sun article since Raine Maida invited the press staff to take pictures of the audience instead of the band. So, there you have it. Mike and Sam, inside the Ottawa Sun. I am jealous, but super happy at the same time that they had this opportunity. That’s so wild.
