Balloon Hat

Just went to see a band called Rogue Wave from Oakland, CA. It was at the Horseshoe and the place was pretty filled up, but it didn't sell out like Wolfparade did. I can't help but think that this show was better than Wolfparade just because we didn't get to go to it. This time, we bought tickets.

The opening band was what actually made the whole night really fun. It was a local band called The Ghost is Dancing featuring a plastic tub occasionally used as a drum, a saxophone player, an accordian player, and a recorder player. You know recorders like in grade school when you're still too young to play any real instruments. It sounded very good actually, and they were extremely spirited and entertaining performers.

I ended up meeting the accordian player in the WC and she gave me the balloon hat was wearing. I later met up with one of the guitarists at the merch booth and told him I had to beat someone up for it.

On the way home, Ryan pointed out a giant white cardboard cathedral that has been erected on the CN train bridge that crosses Dufferin and Queen. Right next to the giant Val Kilmer heads. On nights like this I love Toronto.
