    It really sucks that my first time seeing the Rheo's was also my last. I am looking forward to future projects though. Keeping my hopes up.

    I'm sure Tielli will be working on more solo projects in the future. Tim has a great new band called The Violet Archers, and Bidini is a hell of a writer. If you haven't read them yet, I definitely recommend checking out his books "On a Cold Road: Tales of Adventure in Canadian Rock", "Tropic of Hockey" and "The Best Game You Can Name". All three are excellent and impossible to put down.

    Yes I do enjoy Bidini's books. I just picked up The Five Hole and I love it.

    I have heard good things about The Violet Archers. I will have to sample some music from them.

    I've been meaning to read The Five Hole, but I haven't picked it up yet. I've heard it's hilarious.

    And the Local Rabbits got back together too!!! I actually bought it... had it delivered. They were selling it at the show. Or so I thought.

    I tried to see if they had it at the merch table - but I couldnt get anywhere near it......saw the poster that Martin did for the show - looked very cool, but I didnt see any of the CD's

    Havent decided if I am just going to buy the online download from the Zunior site....or if I need to get the actual physical disc as well. Is there anything exciting/interesting in the packaging????

    My boyfriend went to the reading (by Bidini) in Toronto and said that he couldn't stop laughing at the improve group that was acting it out. I had to work. Ugh.

    I got Maple Serum a while back. I love it. So cheesey, but so Rheostatics. I also love the making of P.I.N. that is in the 'special feaures' section. Definitely a great video. Christopher always gives me goosebumps when I watch it.

    I've been listening to one Rheos album a day for the past week. Today it's "2067". What an incredible band.

    Group of 7 is the only Rheos album I don't own. I've looked all over town for it, but nobody seems to carry it. One of these days I'm just gonna order it online.
