Day – not a huge event here in Montreal. Today is the championship game of Euro 2000 between France and Italy, a much bigger event in this town. For some reason, that makes sense to me. For my part, I just hope Italy doesn’t succeed in making it as boring a game as they’d like.
I found out last night
that Patti Smith is playing tonight at Metropolis. I am completely and utterly fascinated, amazed, and impressed by Patti Smith. I’m trying to wrangle a free ticket as I write this.
I just remembered this
story I read last weekend in Saturday Night about how to knit sweaters for penguins. You would want to knit a sweater for a penguin so that it doesn’t preen oil from an oil spill with its beak, cause it would ingest the goo and die. If/when a person cleans off such oil, they also get rid of natural feather oils, so the penguins would get cold. Hence, penguin sweaters.
Last night was
the 15th anniversary party for the Montreal Mirror, the first of the 4 weeklies in Montreal. I crashed the party they had at a club called Le Swimming (not much of a feat), but I was disappointed that there weren’t any speeches or anything. They would have added life to the party, that’s for sure. A lot of people were there just to witness a faux-pas, for sure – but as it was, “nostalgic beer bash” was the operating principle. Oh well.
Heh.
So it seems I’m a “modest doomsayer”. Check out the 8th story down, the one with the screw beside it.
