oh yeah i forgot to make you all jealous...except dan i guess...

so last night sarah and i went on a date to hugh's room to see the silver hearts. it was pretty awesome. many transplanted peterborions. even our waiter. it was pretty special. the room is pretty good for old folks like us who mostly want to sit down but still be able to see the show. also the show ended just before midnight - another plus for old people out on a weeknight. they were really good. played many of our favourite songs. also they had many special guests. serena ryder played and i guess i'm gonna have to rethink what i think about her music...cuz she's gotten better and written some new songs. one of her songs was this power ballad called "weak in the knees" that would make both pat benatar and aerosmith jealous. really made me wish i had a lighter i tell you. plus at the end of it just as it faded out sarah said pretty loudly "i was just thinking how you've finally found a serena ryder song you liked..." (or words to that effect...)...just as the song was fading...she said the loud part during the quiet part...oh that sarah...i love her.
but also they had a real surprise special guest. it was kinda funny to see ron sexsmith up there with a huge band behind him, but also pretty cool. he shoulda tossed more solos to the band and stuff but it was still pretty special. and dan's right - he does have wierdly large hands - what do you call him dan?
anyway that's it for tonight. stay tuned for the trials and tribulations of a man who has become retail management...brought into the store for his problem-solving abilities...hmmm...there's a clue there methinks...

I missed the Silver Hearts at Hugh's Room?! Dammit man, have you never heard of a double date?

"creepy hand." that was it. "creepy hand Sexsmith." and then Jen got all mad and we couldn't stop laughing, because apparently you and I and Adam and Dan are all eight year old boys.

ok for the record this is how it all went down...pauls says "oh my god, i think i may actually have to start liking Serina Ryder now" to which I said "next you'll tell me that you you like cats" and that was funny because paul has an unnatural aversion to cats. that is how it went. don't trust that paul, he makes shit up.

i thought she was talking about the musical...only that didn't make any sense either...and she did say the loud part during the quiet part...
