I've spent too long at University and Phillip
I’m just going to start with the cut, because I expect to ramble here…

So while doing some work today, I was looking to confirm a phone number, and Google led me to this November 28, 2001 issue of Wilfrid Laurier University’s student newspaper “The Cord” and I saw this ad, so now we can confirm that at least in November 2001, Mr Panino’s was a) open and b) probably still serving paninos and other sandwiches.

List of Edgefest Lineups - Wikipedia
When I’ve looked at the lists of past Edgefest lineups (or in this case, CFNY Canada Day concerts), this is the one I’ve often said that I wished I could travel back in time to go see. (Next on my list is the August 1995 Edgefest 3 show, but if I could travel in time, I’d also make the weather better that day).
I just got home from seeing The Grapes of Wrath at the Starlight. I recall making a comment sometime in my earlier university days, which means somewhere probably 11-13 years ago that if I ever had the chance, I’d love to see the Northern Pikes and The Grapes of Wrath. I managed to see the the Northern Pikes back in 1999, so when I was looking at the upcoming list of concerts and saw The Grapes of Wrath, I knew I’d have to be there.
It occurred to me early on that maybe I’ll never be able to travel back in time, but as of now, I’ve seen more than half the bands on that list. Sure, it’s taken a good, what, 15 or 16 years to see those six bands, and I’ve seen a few on that list many times, and a few only once or twice, but I’m pretty fortunate.
The original title of the post was “The Box need to reunite and tour”. Then I looked it up, and they actualy play in Quebec a few times a year. But I’m lazy. So they need to come to Waterloo, and The Pursuit of Happiness also need to play a few more shows. The other bands I can live without.
I’m not quite sure how many more bands are on my “must see live” list. I don’t know if it’s the collapse of CD sales, or just boredom, or what, but I don’t complain when a band gets back together to make some money touring. Hell, I’ve seen the Pixies twice. Who thought that would ever be possible? Other than The Talking Heads which I can’t imagine will ever happen, I guess there’s Daft Punk and Tegan & Sara on my list, but those are still active artists.
Anyways, it was a good show tonight. They’re playing Hamilton, Toronto, Ottawa and London in the days ahead, and they don’t sound like they’ve been apart in various combinations for 18 years.
EDIT (Oct 3, 2011): I just realized I saw The Pursuit of Happiness at the Kumbaya Festival in 1995. Time to start planning that trip to Québec I guess.
Nearly 7 years later I can finally cross off this goal.

Someone's on to my game...
Me: You want to see a movie about NASCAR?
Jess: No.
Me: What if it were a heist movie?
Jess: Still no.
Jess: Wait, does it have Channing Tatum?
Me: Yes...
Jess: Is it directed by Steven Soderbergh?
Me: You knew exactly where I was going with this.
I apparently don't understand capitalism. I keep trying to spend money and failing.
Canadian corporation : That item you bought second hand? Yeah, the previous owner scammed us out of the money they owe us, so you can't use it anymore.
Me : Okay, well, can you tell me how much money they owed and can I pay you the money so that I can use the item again?
Canadian corporation : Uh, no, you have to ask the person who scammed us to get in contact with us and have them pay the money. We'd rather the item end up in a landfill than take your money and it be useful.
(later)
Me : This Canadian corporation wouldn't take my money, can I just give you all the money to buy a new one?
Other Canadian corporation : Oh gee, we'd like money, but uh, you're only the secondary account holder so we can't accept the full cost of the item and hand it to you, that's just not allowed.
Me : I hate you and your entire industry.
Had to pull over on University between Erb and Fischer-Hallman to capture the icy trees.
