Concerts

Since coming to Toronto I've been preoccupied with settling into work and the apartment and I have neglected many of my hobbies. I haven't been going out to shows, which is a stark contrast to when living with Rob and Ilia and getting out to an event or three a week. I've been talking to a few people who have been managing and promoting artisits, and it sounds like a lot of fun. I know it is a lot of work but I could see setting up gigs, promoting events or even managing a band as a hobby.

For now I'll settle for going out to a lot more show. This weekend I've gone on a spree of lining up shows I'm planning to see, to the point where I've set up a google calendar just for shows I plan to, or can resonably consider going to. My plan is that friends can add events to the calendar and meet up more frequently and share and discover good local live music. There are of course major shows on the calendar including Dave Matthews on June 13th (I've got an extra ticket, anyone?), Counting Crows on July 24th with Jay and Tara, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers in Ottawa on September 29th.
