Man oh man, what a week...Gemma Ray Ritual on Monday, A/V and Gary Flanagan on Thursday, Holy Fuck with Instruments and Land of Talk at the Marquee, then Fucked Up at Stage Nine and some other bands at the Attic last night, and tonight...back to the Marquee for Jon Rae and the River, We Are Wolves, Duchess Says, Candence Weapon and then god knows where.  It's a good thing this only happens once a year! Our body and our pocketbook can't take much more!

This weekend, we here at OptimusHalifax made our first sojurn out of the city. I know, shocking isn't it. Two years and not even a picture of Peggy's Cove to show for it! Thanks to Mr. Mark Black, we got to experience the wonder that is Cape Breton! The excitement included driving through unpredictable crazy downpours (hooray for maritime weather!), listening to late-night call in shows on "the station for MEN" (where men would discuss their sexual conquests and borderline pedophilia), shopping at Value Village in Sydney (where a cool red crushed velvet blazer was purchased for $5!), and of course...the highlight of our LIFE...eating at this fine establishment:

It was the best...thing...ever...So good in fact, that vegetarians will break down and order chicken burgers at this joint. Maybe that's just a rumour though. Cape Breton was fun. It could have been the company of Mark and Steph (former Optimus Paul's better half), it could have been the onion rings, I guess we'll never know.
