it's a race to Betty's to say thanks to Keith for all his years of keeping folks on the road. 6pm or even sooner to help secure space in the bar.

The race I'm planning on doing on Sunday should be interesting.. :P
"At this point it appears that the final race on Dec. 2 is still a go, but please check for further updates. The current forecast is not very favourable. At the very least, we will not be using the hill to avoid bicycle-toboggan collisions. " Ottawa forecast: Sunday: Snow. Low minus 14. High minus 4. *Cheers Keith i'll drink one for you.(or 4) |

Toronto Star article on pipe bomb ******bag: http://www.thestar.com/News/GTA/article/281334.
So, the emotional toll on everyone who thought there was a bomb in the area (general citizens and people who had to respond to the threat), the financial cost of all the local businesses being shut down and obviously the AIDS FUNDRAISER being shut down ... all to make a statement of what, people are scared of being blown up? When I was in photography school at least the bull**** art just hung on a wall. Cling to that artist statement like a ****ing life raft, kid and just keep telling yourself it was worth it. |

My favourite part of his logic was: " Then he went to the nearest pay phone, dialled the ROM's main number and keyed random numbers into its automated staff directory. "There is not a bomb by the entrance of the museum," Jonsson said he told the unknown woman who answered." I'm not a reactionary 'fry him' type of person, but if some idiot is so stupid that he did that not thinking something crazy would happen, he should be given two years of full time work with the AIDS charity that he screwed over with his stunt. |
This is the most disturbing quote:
was wearing the same hooded brown jacket, bright blue scarf and black-frame glasses she wore in the videos. Somnambulant: http://www.thestar.com/SpecialSectio...article/264679 "The university's 100 per cent tuition waiver for staff and their children, worth about $4,500 per year, is an especially prized benefit." Can you adopt me please so I can finish out my $9k x 2 ? :) I guess university staff doesn't include the janitorial staff eh. Wouldn't want them to get educated. |

Thorarinn Jonsson, 24, said yesterday he never expected the final piece in his art project to result in such an “overreaction”, since he left a note on the suspicious package indicating it was not a bomb. “I expected police to take it seriously, and then to quickly realize what they were dealing with,” Mr. Jonsson told City News. “It’s clearly a sculpture, but taking it out of context and putting it into another context by leaving it lying around, it certainly takes on a different meaning,” he admitted. Ya think?! Did you just figure this one out or something?! What an absolute moron. |

Apparently there was talk of getting something away from the bar area, I guess just look around 'til you see someone. Please correct if I'm wrong. I've got to bring the trailer back tonight, a little sad I have to take my big'n'heavy MTB for the task ;) |
I'll be there tonight, probably around 6:30. Don't drink all the beer before I get there!

I think that tuition thing applies to ALL full-time, appointed staff. So it would apply to a full-time, "permanent" janitor. I think part-time/contract folks get some sort of tuition break calculated based on the amount of time they work or something as well. I might be wrong on both accounts, however. :) |
Keith - Sorry I can't make it to your party tonight - I'll be on my way to Ottawa by the time you guys hit the bar. I may not have been a patron for as long as some folks 'round here but I most certainly appreciate everything you've done for me in the relatively short time I've known you and it is sad to see you go... BUT... I'm glad to see you moving on from something that you weren't into any more. Here's to bigger and better things - I'll pour a little juice on the concrete for Cavern Cycles.
Everyone give it up for Keith! (Note: I'm enjoying the thought of all of you, at work or wherever you are, clapping and giving the man a standing O) |

I hope they fry that little prick who planted the "Bomb". He's totally pooched. To say he didn't expect a problem but he pre-consulted a legal office? Nice try. They should put a replica gun in his hand (sorry, sculpture) and cut him loose in the local precinct and videotape that. The only thing he can say is "It's art!" ..... grrr.. And thanks, local OCAD profs, for not considering if this dimwit had left his "Sculpture" behind...
And with regards to Bettys, it is a local hangout for George Brown, the Sun etc. so may be pretty packed. I'll try to get a table visible from the door, but it has two discrete rooms and a second floor. If you don't see us, just keep looking. I'm going to try to be there for 5:30. |
*pours out part of his 40oz on the rug*
... *goes to find a rag before the gf finds out* |
From what i've heard, the kid who did this bomb thing is the same kid who was arrested and in the media not too long ago for doing a 'performance' piece where he threw up on actual artwork in the AGO.
I'm interested in knowing who the teachers were that got suspended and how much they knew about this before hand. I had a teacher there who worked for adbusters for a couple years and assigned "culture jamming" projects. |
1) One of my bandmates works at OCAD. Gonna get the juicy gossip from him on Sunday. :)
2) My visit to Ottawa is off, so I'll see you guys tonight. Cam, I'm gonna aim for around 5:30 as well. I'll PM you my mobile number in case you don't have it and there's any trouble. 3) Anyone doing any rides this weekend? I'm gonna try and get out for a ride tomorrow and/or Sunday morning methinks. 4) TrafficJammer: how are those winter cycling shoes treatin' you? |
Do you figger you guys will still be around Betty's after CM? Like 7:30-8ish?
