Canadian-rific.

Seriously considering renaming this blog to the "Might Emigrate To Canada Blog." It seems like every other post is about a Canadian band or musician. Or is it because the majority of good indie acts are coming from Canada? Rest assured, as long as there is poutine, and maple syrup, there will be hot Canadian shit here. (Whether I am aware of it or not, apparently.)

Anyhoo, I was thinking about this because a pal of mine in L.A. suggested that we spend a few weeks trekking across Canada from one coast to the other. Let's sweeten the pot, I said, and go concert hopping along the way. Wouldn't that be fantastic? The downside is, being that we are both native New Yorkers, driving through Canada will be sorta tough. Avoiding pedestrians will look like a game of Mario Kart. Maybe we'll do it the old fashion way-- throw our possessions in a couple of sacks, catch a ride on a freight train, and listen to Dirty Jim Harry play the banjo while we subsist on canned fish and jarred tomatoes.

Thoughts? Advice on proper canning techniques?

don't eat canned fish. vienna sausage and spam -- that's the way to go

if you can get your hands on an international student identity card, you can take the train cross country for cheaper than you would pay in gas. i did it earlier this summer, and the views are stunning.

Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely keep it in mind.
