Whoever thinks I am off to the backwoods somewhere, despite the history of Gravenhurst as a sawmill town (just like Ottawa), chomp on this for a while. In the next couple of weeks these are some of the options. Maude Barlow lecture in Bracebridge, Bruce Cockburn concert in Orillia, Sloan concert in Bala (they open for the Rolling Stones in Halifax sometime soon), Don Harron show at Gravenhurst Opera House (remember the Jogfree of Canada by Charlie Farquharson?), Three Cities play on Life of Bethune again in Gravenhurst, George Fox concert, local hockey at junior level by unsanctioned upstart league, YukYuks comedy at Bala Bay Inn, hey I know I am overlooking a few. Then there is Barrie, then Toronto within an hour and a half. Finally it is hardly lonely at work. We expect 3,000 visitors over Thanksgiving. I will be giving thanks after the week-end, not during methinks. Oh yes, Blue Rodeo soon too.
