Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson, October 18th 2013

Excellent theatrical show at Massey Hall by Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson. I wasn't sure what to expect coming in but it was an amazing show both musically and visually, with a narrative being done as Ian Anderson and his crew played Thick as a Brick 1 and 2.

Doug Stanhope, August 22nd 2013

Doug Stanhope

I wish more people were like Doug Stanhope. Watching him perform at the Opera House was amazing even if it is a weird venue for comedy since it was standing only. His views on life are just so raw and to the point. His views on charities especially were spot on. I'll definitely be seeing him again the next time he's in Canada.

Danzig (with Scar The Martyr), August 9th 2013

Opening act: Scar the Martyr

Danzig getting setup

Sick stage props.

A very blurry Glenn Danzig

Amazing 25th anniversary of Danzig show at the Docks in Toronto (which is one of the worst venues in the city). Sub-par sound, terrible venue location, overpriced parking but fucking awesome show. I was really curious to see if Danzig could still rock and even at 58 he brought it and then some. Awesome.

Toronto Blue Jays vs Tampa Bay Rays

The Blue Jays fall to the Rays, 4-3 on Expos Nation day at the Rogers Centre!

Gerry Dee, June 1st 2013

Excellent comedy show at Yuk Yuk's in Toronto by Gerry Dee (star of the awesome show Mr. D on CBC) - pretty much the perfect funny evening you wish would happen every time you go to Yuk Yuk's: no dicks in the audience, great crowd that laughed and comedians that kill it.  Jean-Paul rocked it as the MC and and Patrick Haye was awesome as the opening act.

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, March 23rd 2013

Amazing concert, Nick Cave brought it to Massey Hall in Toronto with great songs, awesome crowd interaction and a superb evening overall.

Toronto Rock vs Buffalo Bandits

Rock lose 15-13 against their rivals the Bandits. Great effort at the end to come back but it fell short.

Seems legit.

If someone says "I remember now that you say it"... That means they didn't fucking remember it in the first place.

"Don't 'just think' — that's an extremely unattractive trait of your generation."

Kevin Smith (@ThatKevinSmith) favourited one of my tweets. My life is complete... Kinda.

Okay, I have lots more I want to accomplish but that's still pretty cool.

Norm MacDonald, October 19th 2012

I saw Norm MacDonald live at the Queen Elizabeth theatre in Toronto. Hilarious, as usual. This was my second time seeing him and he just killed it. We laughed the whole time, which is great since we were at a comedy show.

Follow Norm on Twitter (super funny tweets: @normmacdonald) and his web site: http://normmacdonald.com/

Rebecca Kohler (@becca_kohler) opened up for him and she did a great job.

Tweet back from former NHL tough guy Georges Laraque. Right on.

Toronto Blue Jays vs Baltimore Orioles

The Blue Jays lose 4-0 to the Orioles. Entertaining game anyways, with free seats really close to the field and a truly perfect weather day for a ball game.

Oh and bonus: Kristin Kreuk threw the ceremonial first pitch.

Aziz Ansari, July 7th 2012

Aziz Ansari (@azizansari) who plays Tom in Parks and Recreation was hilarious at the Sony Centre in Toronto. I especially liked "I am not doing Celebrity Ghost Stories because... I've never seen a ghost!". The vegan joke too was pretty solid with "Oh you don't want to hurt the little animals...But you're fine with the immigrants picking your vegetables. You don't care about them only because they have no fur!".

Opening act Chelsea Peretti (@ChelseaVPeretti) killed it too.

I'm surprised that people confusing "your" and "you're" still annoys the shit out of me.
