Looks like a great trip! I made it just past your lunch — excellent selections, by the way — and the video stopped and I can’t get it going again. I’m sure it’s an issue with my phone so I’ll try again later.

I now need to add BMV to my list of stores to check out. I’ve never been there and it looks very promising.
I especially love all of the books you both got. Lots of good reading.
Mike, I think you should have bought that signed copy of Fozzy.
That one cd, I think it was called Strong Bad Signs had artwork that reminds me of stuff you posted from your high school days. Maybe that band owes you some royalties.
I am jealous over that Rainbow 12″.
Nice scores, good video and I’m glad you guys had fun.

Aaron texted James about Fozzy, and he said they sucked. So I just couldn’t do it!
I have not played Rainbow yet. This weekend I will.

For that price I would have. I don’t have any of their tunes either, but I would have googled them, saw “metal band”, and saw ‘To Mike” and taken the plunge.

This is awesome.
Definitely love BMV.
Any weird reactions from other shoppers?

Yeah, th eofficial request is that I notify them I’m coming to the city well in advance, so they can get the good clean people off the streets that day. But this time I forgot, so I was trying to fly under the radar.

Apparently for days after you left the city there was a rash of Toronto citizens sporting Tool shirts and saying “givver”

Actually I think I was probably drawing more attention, with my bad-ass parka tied around my waist as I played air guitar to Priest, inside BMV…

Great job on the video, Mike! (I was able to play it through) You two are expert music shoppers! That promo Steve Earle looks particularly interesting and I like the Headstones, Emmylou Harris and Wynton Marsalis choices.
I agree that something extra-special should take place for Year 5 and I’ll second J’s request that you visit the psychic next door.

Thank you Danica! I think we will HAVE to do something special for year 5. I have no problem visiting the psychic. It’s Aaron that will take convincing. I suggest we all start bugging him about it!
