This is a good take

Your snark replies today have been impeccable. 10/10 no notes.

Just beware of the manipulative edting, Connor. Because government something something.

Ha! I mostly just wondered if anyone else even remembers the Sunnyside Sports Bar. So dank. So lovely.

"House of Targ is so great!"

Fools. You know nothing of the grave upon which you play your pinned ball.

Enjoy your perogies.
Enjoy your live music.
Enjoy the empty void that is your very soul.

It's 1999. You just finished your last quart of 50, sunk the eight ball triumphantly and staggered up the steps and out on to Bank Street, leaving the dankness of the Sunnyside Sports Bar behind. You wander west in search of a tepid slice from Sunnyside Pizza. Your whole life is ahead of you.

We trust @connormockettwx.bsky.social and his buddy Tom and nobody else.

I'm going to keep dragging you into my comments either way

(also charge your devices, make sure you have non perishable food, etc etc)

It's easy to get complacent now that the clocks have changed and we've seen some snow melting but, as @connormockettwx.bsky.social would tell you, it's vital to be prepared for weather like tonight's ice storm

So check your supplies and make sure you've got enough storm chips to last 72 hours.

I just looked it all up, we hadn't moved there yet when he escaped but we arrived while he was on the run. I remember they talked about cancelling Halloween (we were just outside Saint John). I think they did up around Bathurst. I was 9 so memories are a big foggy.

Oh wow. We were living in NB when he escaped. I haven't thought about that in ages.

Rise Against on stage. Tim is lit in the centre with his red Gibson SG. The rest of the band is silhouetted. The lights are pink and blue and there's a large RA logo on the screen behind them

That was everything I needed it to be. My emotional support band for 20+ years

God yes.

But they play anything off of The Unravelling I reserve the right to be excessively smug about it.

"Do you even RECOGNIZE the sample from The Cable Guy?"

Have thus far resisted screaming "I saw them in concert before you were born!" at the young people who lined up an hour before doors so they could get to the barriers in the GA section.

Anyway, the former future Hard Rock Casino is a weird venue for preshow vibes.

Very weird juxtaposition of Rise Against fans lining up to get into the show between people perched at rows of slot machines. Also I'm pretty sure when I saw them on Rideau Street in 2004(5?) I didn't eat overpriced Japanese BBQ before the show. Honestly, should have gone with the shawarma place.

I will

The world is going to shit but tonight I'm seeing Rise Against in concert for the first time in 20+ years so there's that. And the opener, befitting International Women's Day, is a woman-fronted hardcore band I hadn't previously heard of called Destroy Boys.

Let's. Fucking. Go.

Wait. Alonso is back?

Dropping like flies

Stroll won't be far behind. You got your five.

He didn't. And now Hadjar is out too.

Well there's more battling anyway.

Hulk down now too?

I mean, Piastri and the two Aston Martins make three pretty much guaranteed already...

Godspeed

Will there be 10 finishers today? Can you get points on a DNF?
