it's juno weekend

It's juno weekend here in 'toon town and I just have to say that I'm so sick of the junos and they haven't even happened yet. It has been one big giant hype machine for weeks and really I'm fed up. Yes it's exciting that they are coming to 'toon town. In fact, the junos are putting the exclamation mark into Saskatchewan!

There have been a few good things to come out of juno weekend. One is that last call is an hour later (1:30 pm) and the bars stay open til 4 am. I do have to say that this seemed like a good thing at the time but I'm paying for it today. Also, I met Jian Ghomeshi last night which was kind of fun, given my inebriated state.

The video starts slow, but it's worth hanging in for:
