Hey all... cool thing happened to me today. I was with my 17 month old daughter, waiting in line at Blockbuster, and who should appear before me (all 6'3" of him) but Mr. Joel Plaskett. I introduced myself, said I was a big fan, told him we saw him in Sydney and Halifax opening for the Hip. He said he's been on the road for 9 of the past twelve months, and he's really happy to be home, saying that he's going to lay low for awhile. I asked him if another album is anywhere on the horizon and he said that a live DVD is coming out soon, with two new songs being performed on it. He was very personable, insisted on shaking my daughter's hand, and said he hoped to see me at the New Year's show. That was about it. More chitchat about being on the road, what he planned ondoing at home for the next few weeks, normal stuff. Thought that was a neat thing.
