Tomorrow is going to be interesting. Not only is it Calum's birthday party (in the form of a Bronson House basement show - with Video Hippos, all the way from Baltimore!), it's also the Acorn's in-store at the record shop. Their album comes out on Tuesday and they've been getting a ton of press about it. I have no idea what sort of turnout we're ( Read more... )

Today started off in a most bizarre fashion and I haven't been able to get back on track ever since. I was on campus at Ottawa U, just about to enter the underground and walk down to the station, when something at the newsstand caught my eye. A familiar face. Those glasses.

I'm fighting insomnia and I'm not sure whether the storm is hindering or helping ( Read more... )

First thing this morning, I checked the mailbox expecting nothing but junk and instead found two 1lb bags of fancy coffee, tagged with a post-it note signed xoc. Candice works for Starbucks and doesn't even like coffee herself, so she uses the perks of her jobs to benefit her friends. I adore her thoughtful nature and I'm dreading that looming ( Read more... )

We're having a noise show in the basement of the record store tomorrow night. I'm pretty excited - 5 Arlington has a long history in the Ottawa music scene, and it's kind of cool to see it being restored to its glory as an underground all-ages venue a decade after it ceased to be a show house. Ottawa friends, you should come! Doors at 7pm, pay-what ( Read more... )
