So I went to a porno show last night, that is a concert headlined by "the new pornographers" and it was awesome. This was the final show of a cross Canada tour put on by mint records and exclaim magazine to celebrate 15 years of their contribution to indy rock.


Now most of you know that I'm a huge CBC radio 3 fan...I listen to the podcasts and even stream it at work most days to drown out the sounds of my coworkers who take me to the brink of insanity...you've all seen the office well although I don't have a mundane environment as the show has I've got all the characters for sure. Anyways back to where I was.....oh yeah so big fan yada yada at the end of the show Greg asks me "so are you gonna get that banner?" Refering to the big banner on stage that was taken across on the tour. Hmmmm I thought well ya I guess if anyone is gonna take it home it might as well be me...

So I went up to the stage and proceeded to walk up and introduce myself to Grant Laurence the host of the CBC radio 3 podcasts and ask him if I could have the banner. I started by complements to the show etc etc...and how it makes my commute so much better each week...anyways he was quite dumbfounded by the question...of course he was probably in that slow state of mind one gets into when they have drank a good number of beers...anyways he quickly prosed the question to another authority in the room who then began to ask another person and on it went.

At first there was opposition stating the obvious that "well those banners cost a lot you know" and "ohh I think such and such will really want to keep that in the office" but then logic stepped in and they realized that I wanted it and it would probably only collect dust so why not give it to this poor fan who has lost his roomate and all the great artwork of his father. And so it went until two men were stretching up with small sizzors cutting the zip ties to award me with the banner which is now in my living room.



Oh the guy with the hitler stash was the drummer for the new pornographers and he was halarious, straight outta the wedding singer and reminded me a lot of Jon Lovits the actor.
