The concert will be Wednesday July 30 at Downsview (an old army base where the Pope had a huge outdoor mass last July).
Tickets go on sale June 27 - there will be 300,000 available with half embargoed for American and overseas fans. Tickets will be sold at Dominion, A&P ($21.50 in Canada) and Farmer Jack's ($16 in the States). There are also bus tour and package deals available.
The lineup includes: AC/DC, The Guess Who, Sam Roberts, The Flaming Lips, The Isley Brothers, Kathleen Edwards, Justin Timberlake, La Chicane and Sass Jordan.
Concert profits, as well as $1 from each ticket sold, will go to the hospital workers who've lost income as a result of being in quarantine because of SARS, and hospitality workers who've lost business because of the disease. The money will be distributed through a relief fund set up by Molson breweries.

before you go out walking.

The video they've made makes me choke up...I love this city! I love this country!

I have a friend from Antigonish! Well, technically Maryvale...hehe... He plays for Dal Soccer now, but his home is in Maryvale. His mom teaches at St. Francis Xavier. When I see people with an X ring I get all excited and ask them about St. FX.

hehe...I'm so creepy....

The previous government had done a pretty good job of balancing good finances (no deficit for 7 years) and good social programs, and now they're destroying all this.

In the winter I go to the University of Guelph. rah!

Applying to teachers college this year.. it's between Ottawa and Toronto. I'd like to live in a big city for a change!
