Thanks, hon! The friend I was with is a musician and he says that the Phoenix is the best venue in the city to play in in terms of sound, it’s very warm.
Happy new year!
I saw Rough Trade at the Phoenix on my birthday weekend. Carole Pope still has an amazing voice!! I've seen her over the years but I never thought that I would experience Rough Trade songs like "All Touch, No Contact" live. It was a great show.
I went and saw the Flemish paintings at the ROM last night. It's not a big exhibit but it's definitely worthwhile! There was a Hell painting by a "follower of Bosch" so still pretty great. And of course other works that were impressive.
I was at a show at The Rockpile last night. Good sightlines and the whole venue is one floor so it’s accessible. It’s the same people who ran The Big Bop/Kathedral years ago, so it has the same vibe. A lot of fun!
I tried Elijah’s Automatic yesterday, the newish burger place from the originator of Burger’s Priest. It’s pretty good, old school style flame broiled burger and the fries are cooked in beef fat. It’s similar to Apache Burger.
