I went to the Ex yesterday with Lindsay and Ian, who are boring Ex partners. We came in, got our expensive ass tickets, ate, and went on the Yo-Yo and the Scrambler (Ian went on the first but not the second) There was a scary carnie on the Scrambler. He had sleeve tattoos and leather wristbands and piercings. He was like 40. Then we went back to get more tickets. Lindsay and I went on the Tornado and were going to go on the Ferris wheel but decided to wait until dark. We then went to see Bedouin Soundclash. We started up in the grandstand but decided to stand in front of the stage. It was sooooooo cool! The bassist had a Rasta wristband like mine. Ian was just standing doing nothing the whole time. There was this woman who was going nuts, she had her arms waving in the air and she was dancing away. There was some other guy that leaped in front and put up is hands in the "rock" sign, which was weird because I mean, its reggae. You're supposed to peace out. Then they played When the Night Feels My Song and at the end he went "when the night feels my-" and then he let us go "song" and he was like, "I'll be-" and we went "home" and then he went, "I"ll be-" and then we were like, "home." It was pretty cool. I thought I made eye contact with the singer, but maybe I imagine these things. Anyway, then people started throwing weird stuff onto the stage. First it was a bunch of Mardi Gras beads. The drummer and the singer got one, but the bassist didn't. Then someone threw a teddy bear, which Jay (the singer) carefully placed on a stand holding water on the stage, then someone threw chapstick. The singer was like, "you guys are sure throwing strange shit onto the stage tonight. Thank you for the chapstick." We left two songs after When the Night Feels My Song to go on the Ferris wheel. The guy scanned my ticket thingie and I should have had no tickets left, but he's like, "you have five left." When the carnie left I was like, "how did I get five tickets?" So I bought one more and went on the Gravitron.
Hopefully I get to go guitar shopping tomorrow. Today appears to be another boring day in Saskatoon. Lindsay is working and going to class and Jonas is just a boring person who has turned into an ass since he moved to Saskatoon. We no longer have our inside jokes and easy camaraderie. He was supposed to come to the Ex last night and he said he's meet us there an hour after we left, but he totally didn't. Loser.
Anyhoo, I should jet. Ciao!
