Heaven and Hell

ok..major decision time.. it was announced today that Heaven and Hell are comming to town. Heaven and Hell is a music collatoration featuring current Black Sabbath members Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler, along with former members Ronnie James Dio and Vinny Appice. Putting to bed the long standing rumors of a reunion tour and sure to be one of the most anticipated rock tours of 2007, Heaven and Hell will play the Saddledome on Wednesday, March 14th. Opening for Heaven and Hell are multi-platinum recording artists Megadeth and Down. man if that isnt a mix of old school and new school metal i dont know what is !!!!!!

Concert Time Again !!!

Well it looks like march will be a very good fun month for me . Firstly mom and dad will be comming from Saskatoon on the march 23rd weekend for 4 day visit. got alot planned to do with them. going to do the tourist thing with them like the calgary tower, eau clare market, prince island park possably and the glenmore museum then some souvineer shoppin and some liquid refreshment. then just before that, the first concert of 2007. Me, Drew and Darcy will be attending Trivium/Machine-Head/Lamb of God on march 4th at MacEwan Ballroom on the beautiful University of Calgary campus. its the 2nd time i would have been to a concert there. the first was Hatebreed. this one should be fun since its in ballroom downstairs and not up in the mini hall where hatebreed played... should be fun for all

cold and colder

Well old man winter reared his ugly mug over the last few days. Calgary didnt get hit as hard as they thought we would but none the less it was a wild one. Lucky me worked last night and when I left for work at 2:20p it was a slightly cool - 35deg c outside with the windchill ( for you in the US thats -31F) however, at 11:30p when I came home, its was a very chilly -42deg c (-43F for my us friends ) . However for my parents who live in Saskatoon (90mins from where I moved from ) it was very very bad. The temperatures there were the same, but it was so bad that they acutallu shut the entire city down. The closed the airport, shutdown the main highways to both Edmonton (3hrs north of me) and and Calgary. From what the drivers and the news have been saying, the entire province of Saskatchewan was shut down. Todays not so bad but the wind is making things nippy but the warming trend will get her soon. They are saying +5deg c (41F ) by next tuesday, but we shall see.

On another note, I have added a floder to my photo album today with pictures that I took today while out and about. There are some very nice shots of the mountians covered in snow. Take a look at http://new.photos.yahoo.com/gopherboy316
