Reflections on seeing Phish again and recalling memories of my history as a "phan".
Wherein I make decision about the immediate future of the podcast. I talk for way too long (in a whiny way) about VoxPopCon woes that aren't even woes. I recollect summer movies I must watch soon. I look to this weekend of an all night thing in Toronto with @mikevardy, @acurrie and perhaps even the authentic @scarboroughdude! And I recollect all-nighters of youth.
I channel the dulcet tones of a not-yet-ready-for-smooth-jazz DJ as I ramble with mild incoherence about this, that, and the other thing.
No flowers, plants or chilled champagne in my room. EDIT: My couch is about 20 years older as well.
A casual half-drunk diatribe about one of the good things in life: Podcamp Toronto. So many old friends, new friends and great conversations. I was digging the vibe and the touching the void.

Just found this short clip on Vimeo of someone zipping around eastern Toronto. In itself, such a driving clip is nothing special, but I really dug the picture quality and some of the great perspective shots up the Don Valley Parkway.
Also, I thought this video clip was ripe for a soundtrack, so I'd suggest pressing play on the YouTube clip below a couple of seconds before [or buffering the entire thing]. I chose Highway Star. Any other clips we could do a "poor surfer's" mashup with?
With all the protests and chants and rallies and car burnings and megaphones and masks and marching and yelling and screaming and shouting and bickering and bullshit at the G20 in Toronto this weekend, has anyone considered the most effective voice is often the quiet one?
Stephen Harper: We are NOT amused!
EDIT: I realized I was so pissed off that I dropped Hockley Valley as the G8 site when it's actually Deerhurst... big diff.
