  • – I suppose it’s no wonder I don’t know any of the songs on the worst song list. Let’s keep it that way.
    – It’s year end so, RIP to all we’ve lost. We’re all going to the same place anyways. And we can thank KISS for leading the charge.
    – Now I feel like I got off easy with ticket prices this year. Especially considering I bought them the old fashioned way. By showing up at the venue and talking to the box office 30min. before curtain call. Even Leafs tickets were going for $80 on Halloween night. Lucky me. So much fun.
