Curry vs Mole Event Page

My roommate Wade went to Mehico awhile ago, and took some pictures. His friend Lesley, went to India, and did the same. I went to China, and did the same. Only their pictures were artsy and creative, and I took pictures of me pissing and pretending to throw up on ancient artifacts. Hence, they have an exhibit, and I do not.

Either way, the two of them are putting on an exhibit at the LinuxCaffe on the corner of Harbord and Grace. It happens NEXT Thursday starting at 7 pm and yes, there will be beer. It also goes to a good cause. Proceeds go to Frontier College and Tibetan Refugee Self Help Centre. That’s right, some of the funds will help people from Tibet. You know what that means..Richard Gere might show up.

Once again, here is the link again.

Ps. I don’t know if there will be any guacamole or curry available.

Hi….Josh here again…I am reporting from Japan this week..This is the video of the week… Check this one out:

Mark Ronson drops the third single off his full length release called Version. Great infectious track featuring the vocals of Lily Allen. Its actually a cover of a Tori Amos track to my knowledge. Video features a cartoon version of Lily.

Other Singles Released Off Version
Stop Me
Just

Rickys Note - actually a cover of Kaiser Chiefs.

Toronto - I hate the title Order of the Phoenix. This is because it’s initials are OOTP, and whenever I see OOTP, I think of Out Of The Park, a baseball simulation game that i’ve been playing for like, six years. However, it is hard not to get caught up in the hype of the Pot and seeing as how pretty much every other Harry Potter movie was pretty good, I had no choice but watch this one.

This movie was pretty good. I am thinking, as long as they don’t cast Brett Ratner to direct a movie, this franchise is in pretty good shape. I find it moderately lame that these wizards can’t use their powers in the real world. What the hell do you have these spells for? You can bet if I had that power, I’d being using my spells. Like, even to get the remote control or something. I guess this is a movie where you have to suspend your beliefs and stuff. Since I have not read of the Potty books, I can’t really compare what was in and out of the book. I thought this movie moved along quite nicely and there was a fair amount of action. I thought the inclusion of the giant thingy was kinda useless, maybe he does more stuff in the subsequent movies. I don’t know. The Luna girl seems like she’s smoked two pounds of weed every time she talks, which is kinda weird because man, where would she get that amount of weed at that age and how could she afford it?

Overall, a solid movie. Did anyone else notice they were playing Ordinary Boys - Boys will be boys during the first school scene? Is that sposda be symbolic or something. Probably.

Funny how JK Rowlings has the one minority person in the school as the traitor to the Dumbledores Army. I bet if Hogwarts would admit some black students, they would be the first to die in a fight as well.

4/5

ps. i just remembered there were two brown chicks in the movie, but i also remember they were portrayed as cold manipulative bitches in the previous flick

ps #2. I also went to chapters last nite and read the last page of the last book. So i can tell you whether or not the ending is happy or sad.

Toronto - St.Vincent is a band based out of Dallas, Texas. Yea I know, kinda weird. The main event of the band St.Vincent is the lead singer/guitarist, a pixie sized girl by the name of Annie Clark. She is also a member of Polyphonic Spree and plays for Sufjan in her off time, so she is probably pretty talented.

The show was at the Horseshoe, which immediately scores about 100 points on the goodness meter. It guarantees a small, cozy environment. Also, I know where the AC vents are, so I am guaranteed maximum coolness if need be. The Horseshoe is also close to Burrito Boys, and seeing that I was rather hungry before the show, this provided the necessary kick needed to stay focus on the music thru out the concert, otherwise I would spend half the show debating on what to eat afterwards (most likely pho).

The band came on around 12:15 am, which is moderately not early. The band was a four piece set, featuring a violinist, a drummer, annie clark and a bassist/keyboardist. They were quite the multi-instrumentalist. Annie had two mics for use, one was normal, one was distorted. This would provide for much amusement for most of the night. MAN, she is talented. Considering her small size and skinny frame, you would never think she can rock a guitar…but does she ever. The second song concluded with like a seven minute jamming session where she just ripped into the thing. Crazy. The outro is something a band plays at the end of the show, and they were doing it in the second song. This was a good thing.

The band pretty much played thru their entire catalogue (which is one album). It was an extremely impressive show and Id definately be there whenever they play again, unless its at some crappy venue. I might still go anyways.

There was a helluva lot of photos taken that night, by other people. I thought all the flash was a bit excessive. Anyways, that would annoy me if I was on stage.

4.5/5
