Yes there was that as well (I guess I'll hold it lol) and a couple drink tix too. I bet the increase in VIP costs correlates to the number of complaints they get about the biffies

I'd call the $160 upcharge per ticket for VIP too ridiculous. A lanyard, some popcorn, and rush seating within the VIP area is not worth a 200+% increase imo. Pretty sure in 2022 it was maybe $40 or $50 per ticket to upgrade. Oh well, not like I was planning on sitting down anyways Presale started at 10am, presale code BBP24 if anyone wants

Abra Cadabra!!!

Can't wait! LINEUP: Thurs. Aug. 22 – Blue Rodeo, Skydiggers, Indian City, and guests. Fri. Aug. 23 – Arkells, July Talk, The Blue Stones, The Haileys. Sat. Aug. 24 – Headstones, I Mother Earth, and guests. Sun. Aug. 25 – Tom Cochrane, Streetheart, Sass Jordan, and guests. No way I could make all 4 nights work... but that Fri/Sat lineup is KILLER and could still get even better Seen July Talk, Blue Stones, IME and possibly 'guests' but somehow I still haven't seen the Headstones... about time I fix that! Will be my first time seeing Arkells, I like their radio tunes and they get points for playing the 2021 GC halftime show. The Hailey's I get major The Beaches vibes from and that's not a bad thing at all. Local act, too! Will absolutely be worth the money and if the VIP package isn't too ridiculous this year I'd recommend it.

Fallout on Amazon was great. The props, sets, costumes and effects were incredibly detailed and almost totally faithful to the aesthetic of the video games that inspired the show. The gore is intentionally silly without spoiling the action, the doe eyed 'Ned Flanders in the Apocalypse' protagonist bit never wears thin, plenty of comedic actors like Johnny Pemberton, Michael Rapaport, Chris Parnell and others filling out the side-cast and keeping the wasteland fun and wacky like it's meant to be. Between this and The Righteous Gemstones I'm becoming a Walton Goggins fan

So he's relatable!

I'm no fancy big city lawyer... Asking a coworker out is not harassment. Repeatedly asking out a coworker out even though they turn you down every time probably wouldn't even qualify without more aggravating factors. It's the "reacting violently" (I assume throwing things or smacking tables, slamming doors, physical intimidation like blocking halls and doorways, that sort of thing... not direct personal violence) and cussing her out in front of other employees/teammates that makes for a hostile work environment and constitutes harassment imo. Should have been handled by the bosses when she came forward to exercise her rights, they could have handled things internally and we never would have heard these accusations. Instead they tried to sweep it under the rug and possibly even retaliated against her by telling her to stay home and then not renewing her contract after years of doing so. AFAIK the Argos weren't obligated to renew her contract but it sure smells like retaliation if up until that point there was no reason to let her walk... if anyone should be looking over his shoulder it's John Murphy and anyone else that knowingly infringed on this woman's right to a harassment-free workplace. Section 7 of the Ontario human rights code is pretty clear and easy to understand. These aren't the old days, people have rights in the workplace and they should be taken seriously, and employers should be held accountable when they infringe upon them, knowingly or not (because they should have known if they didn't)

Oh for sure, the bubble has been growing for some time, there could be more to follow. Just that Stone Angel was my Friday after work patio place. Always felt welcome, dirty boots and all. Hate to see it go.

RIP

Not sure where the Beer topic has gone so I'll post it here... Sad news for 99% of us, Stone Angel brewery is closing it's doors permanently.

I'm a landscaper by trade but I've been a hobby gardener for even longer. My wife and I are constantly carving out sections of our lawn to make space for more plants. We've put about 15 years of work and experimentation into our back yard and it's still getting better every year. This summer I solarized half my front lawn to make way for a new perennial garden... a section of my lawn has been infested with creeping bellflower for probably 100 years so it is not going quietly, drastic measures were called for... so I took my version of the nuclear option and killed it all off with cardboard and bark mulch. Soon it will habitat for the birds and bees, candy for the eye and food for the soul. Man I love working in my garden. Great exercise too. Can't wait for spring.

Jason Vega comes to mind, he had a sneaky TD coming in as a TE

That's all true, fair enough.

He played all over the place when he wasn't filling in for someone on the DL, they got him on the field a variety of ways. DT/DE, OL, FB. One memorable moment of 2009 was Oos catching the ball in open field for a good 20 yard gain. He played enough snaps at FB to have 2 receiving TDs in his career, that's not nothing. I'm not knocking him, I was a big fan
