So my two favourite NHL teams are playing an exhibition game tonight in Regina and I made the tough decision not to go… There are a couple reasons… – the biggest reason is the price. Even though it’s an exhibition game, tickets range from $98 for the *lowest* priced to $148.50 for the highest (of those […]
I’m pretty sure I have most of this on a VHS tape somewhere but nice to have it online for easy access and archival purposes…
Bobby Jurasin Documentary (Featuring pre-fame Brett Butt) I was flipping through YouTube and came across a profile of my all-time favourite Rider, #71 Bobby Jurasin (which features a few cameos by a pre-“Corner Gas” Brent Butt starting around the 11:45 mark!)

I regularly visited a few newsgroups including rec.music.beatles which is where I first came across Alan W. Pollack’s “Notes On” series where he’d do an […]
Who knows how long it will be there but right now, there’s a full version of the most recent Paul McCartney concert DVD up on YouTube (I’ve been listening to the CD version on Rdio non-stop for the last week!)
