Here’s a funny story…
I was listening to Malajube (a French band from Montreal) the other day and I decided to see if they were on tour anytime soon. Sure enough, in July they will be going to Buckingham, Quebec.
I recognized the name Buckingham and couldn’t put my finger on where it was but I knew it was close to Ottawa.
When I told Vero I was interested in going to this festival, she thought Buckingham was close to Montreal. I didn’t think so and she checked it out and said the place was about 40 kms away from Ottawa.
I didn’t think was too far at all and said it’s probably the equivalent of traveling from Orleans to Kanata.
Anyhow, I went onto the maps today and had a good laugh when I found out where Buckingham was in relation to me.
It’s right across the freaking Ottawa River near where I live! And it turns out that five kilometres up the road in Cumberland, there is a ferry that travels 24 hours a day!
So I have a feeling I’ll be heading out to see this festival this summer as all other concerts I’ve tried going to this summer have been squashed due to scheduling.

I think it is funny that there is an act called Dan Bingras et ses blondes. :o) Keep me posted on this one…
