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.

That is pretty cool... I've seen him downtown hanging out at the Alehouse on a few Saturday nights, but I've never stopped to talk to him.

I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

I rented the 1953 version of War of the Worlds, and the Alastair Sim Christmas Carol, along with a Blue's Clues video for my girl. Didn't hang around to see what Joel rented. He had three or four videos, however.

Joel rented That Night In Toronto only to discover that the opening act wasn't included. He demanded a refund.
