Ironically, I spent over a week in Niagara Falls, but met up with Scotty while he was on vacation for a quick spell in Shubenacadie. We took in the sights at Curly's, located in Enfield.

As Scott would say, you know you're in the country when they are auctioning off ground beef for charity at the local pub. Sweet times!



Happy Birthday Dave!

Ah, back to good ol' Nova Scotia. Here's a little pic from my first time experience in Ottawa Airport.

Lovely little car on the QEW today. You know you're a redneck if your car says "Bitch" on the back. Oh, and she's proud of it.

I had a busy day today, boy. I headed to Burlington to have lunch with a friend of mine, Rob. We went to the Queens Head Pub on Brant Street to catch up.

Afterwards I took a few shots of the waterfront in Burlington.

After getting back to the Falls I stopped into Mick and Angelo's on Lundy's Lane for a drink with Bonita Applebaum before heading out for the night.
Quiet night in Niagara Falls on a Monday, but I hit the town with Ryan Mallett for some drinks and a few laughs. Had a really enjoyable evening as we hit the Highland Tap, and finished off the night at the Wild Mushroom.

Red Sox Opening Night against the Evil Empire! Is there anything better? I had the good fortune to meet up with Jason and Larry O as we took in the game at Philthy McNasty's in Burlington. The Red Sox won a hard fought game to start the season in first place where they rightfully belong.

Great times! I should also give a shout out to Michelle, our server, who did a fantastic job and helped make for a very entertaining night.

Off to Ontario for a three hour tour that will last at least a week. Here's a shot from the plane over Nova Scotia, it looks like an airport below, couldn't have been far from Halifax.

And on my arrival I was greeted by a little friend who cleverly made it into Geoffs house by opening the fireplace doors after repeatedly banging on them.

Quite an interesting start to my Ontario trip.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

We made quite a few stops around town including The Frigate and The Pogue Fado where we spent most of our time. A few places on Spring Garden Road rounded out the night. Here are a few quick pics from the night, unfortunately only Blackberry quality...

Although I may look a little inebriated, that is actually the result of my recent eye surgery. The lights were a little bright to look into. Great times though!

Today was the much anticipated Wilco concert at the Halifax Forum, attended by myself, Dave, John and Chris. I also saw a few other friends there that were unexpected. The show started off with a group called Bahamas. Although I think the "group" is only one person. There were mixed reviews from those present, but I liked them, or him. I think most people were just anxious to get Wilco onstage, and their impatience led to their mixed reviews. Here are a few pics of Bahamas.

While the main act was getting ready, we got a call from the 70's, they just wanted Richard Dreyfuss back. I told him that I loved him in Close Encounters, but he just gave me a quizzical look.

Finally, Wilco took the stage and it was a great show. They were less than impressed with the venue and loved referring to the Forum as a Bingo Hall. Nevertheless, they played to a packed house for several hours, and we more than got our moneys worth of their music. They played a great variety of songs, and our only complaint was that it was almost too long, probably due to the sweat box that the forum turned into. Great musicians though, they played tight and the singers voice was amazing.

The best part of the night came after the show. We stopped in for a few drinks at the Economy Shoe Shop downtown, and who should arrive but the band members. They were very gracious guys, and even signed our tickets for us. Great way to end the night and a nice souvenir to have.

Until next time...
