You know guys, Regina is only a three-hour flight away;)

I've always wondered. Does the proper pronunciation of that city rhyme with vagina or vajeena?

I am so going on the thursday (depending on whether my school schedule works out or not). As soon as I saw that they were playing, it made my plans for september all the more sweeter.

We should all meet up!

The second one is correct but everyone, everyone uses the first one.

It's on.

Weird. My Birthday is also 09/17. I was planning on a visit to Montreal the first week of October, but I may bump that up a couple weeks now...

The city name Regina, SK is pronounced with the long i.

The Horseshoe doesn't have it posted on their site
http://www.horseshoetavern.com/whos_playing.htm ), yet. Nor does Rotate This ( http://rotate.com/tickets.php ), who will definitely have tickets for the Toronto show. The Horseshoe will be a great venue to see Shellac. Definitely a favourite. The Jesus Lizard there a few years ago remains one of the favourite rock experiences for this gal. Good size. Good sound. Kickin' all around. This kicks! Havin' seen 'em many, many, many times in Detroit and of course Chicago it will be brilliant to see 'em up here. And this is the time that the many pals who lament about never havin' seen 'em but complain of the driving distance to Chicago and/or resist heading to the US for shows in general can have no excuses anymore. Not even that its on a Tuesday night. Kickin'!

Oh, And the Crofoot is a venue that pals have enjoyed playin'. The show is posted on the site (http://www.thecrofoot.com/events/ ), with 'Ticket info coming soon', for those, who, like her are totally fine with the couple of hours it takes to drive to Pontiac, MI.
