We had one who would do that. Problem was he was the GM. That's how my "backup campaign" became the main.

For me it was when I paid about C$120 to see The Who at Rich Stadium, in Buffalo. That included the bus to and from Toronto. The Clash opened for The Who. David Johansen (New York Dolls) opened for The Clash. Same thing; drugs and alcohol everywhere. I drank (not in years now), but didn't and...

I was at the ElMo for both sets that Forgotten Rebels did, that night. The second set, after they'd presumably drank, pilled/smoked/snorted or whatever, was far better than the first.

Maybe, but it was enough of a thing that it made it into a Canadian movie, set in Toronto. I keep looking out for my favourite chips, that are only rarely released; ketchup Doritos.

The whole song's performance exists on Youtube, not just the shortened version from the movie.

The building itself hasn't changed, but the occupants have. CFNY occupied the space now housing T&T Restaurant, Nail Madness, and Dosa Corner. Spanky's had the three spaces right below that. https://maps.app.goo.gl/FGZWLTprc4ra6aEi9

You're not wrong, but most of the old standards have long since gone. In Toronto we lost maybe 3/4 of them, over the years. Lee's Palace, where Clash at Demonhead played in "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" still exists, but they lost the front entrance to a restaurant.

I don't know that's going to happen. Everything seems to be concentrated on the huge staged shows out of stadiums, these days. Back in the day you could see up-and-comers like Duran Duran at smaller venues like The Concert Hall, in Toronto. Maybe 1000 people, including the open floor. It's...

Geek Content: Jewel Staite does some some quick meal videos. Nothing fancy, but tastey stuff that you can make quickly.

The last one is a new classic.

He used to play a little local club, called Spanky's, that was below an FM radio station (CFNY, which was the only Alternative radio station in the area at the time) about 5 miles from my house. Later, in the '80s, it changed its name to Stars. I was too young to get in and this particular...

Don't look to deeply, for that way lies madness. Two words: savory Jell-O.

Acts of the Nuclear War God?

Low bridge. Shallow river. You miscalculated.

Not sure that you would like it. They have a nasty habit of having nominally Middle Eastern derived bad guys speak with English accents.

At least the ketchup on ice cream thing mostly died a well deserved death back in the '70s. I can't remember what movie it was featured in as some sort of Canadian cultural thing, back then, but it was a "road movie." I thought it was "Goin' Down the Road" (the one that SCTV lampooned), but no.

As it's a pocket dimension I suppose they could take a leaf out of the '70s book of SciFi; "The Fantastic Journey." Have modern day characters, as audience POV, then mix in other times and fantasy.

I was wrong. They're still shooting and apparently doing some late nights.
