Busy Becoming Educated: We'll Be Right Back

Yes loyal fans - all 6 of you - I realize I'm about 3 days behind, seeing as how Friday was the most recent entry on the 365 Days of Metal, but I had quite a busy weekend, you know graduating from University and stuff, among other things.

Yes, six see-saw like years later I finally got to pick up my very expensive piece of paper that is apparently proof that I'm educated - among a procession of people in funny hats and ridiculous robes.

So if this week permits, I may try to catch up on those lost days, or I may just consider them a write-off and continue as if nothing ever happened.

Either way, the good news for you is 365 Days of Metal is here to stay. I'm enjoying discovering new junk, and introducing cool shit to people way too much to stop now, at just over two months in. So bare with me while I get my collective ducks in a row and get back on track.

365 Days of Metal should return to its regularly scheduled awesomeness starting tomorrow, Tuesday November 1st - barring any unforeseen consequences.

I'll also be rolling out some 'updates' to the rest of the Blaarg, considering the title at the top is now completely misleading advertising - cause I'm totally not a student anymore, for now anyways.

Cabin Country: Fundraiser Fun Fest

It's been a crazy as hell week, so far. Expect a write-up of the awesome show which took place last night at the Capital Music Hall. I'll have plenty to say.

But for the time being, I'd like to bring a small bit of attention to a particular little shindig going on this Friday which is being organized by a group of people including a friend of mine who shall remain nameless.

You can thank me later Mylène. Oops!

Friday night there will be a Fundraiser held at the Great Canadian Cabin, for Blood Cancer Research. Fun times have been promised, including drinks, BBQ and other assorted shenanigans. Plus it's all for a good cause.

Tickets to the event are being sold this week on the University of Ottawa Campus for 5$. If you're unable to purchase a ticket, don't go to the U of Hoe or otherwise, no worries. The door price will be a measly 7$.

Any and all are invited, so bring your friends and other shady characters and raise money for Blood Cancer research. And if you're a Metalhead and need more incentive, do it for Nergal, the frontman for Behemoth was recently diagnosed with Leukemia earlier this summer.

The event is geared to start at 9PM, so if you plan on being amazing, be sure to gatecrash at around 8:45 - just because you can.

I can't guarantee the state of affairs at the venue itself, since I've never been. I'm currently under the assumption that it's a Country Bar, though people keep pleading to me that only happens on Thursdays. Which only further increases my suspicion because just once a week is bad enough.

Regardless of the argument others may have, the freakin' place has its name spelled out in Logs.

It's definitely a Country Bar.

Come out and support a good cause or I'll find you.
