Broken Modest Social Mouse

Been a big week and I've put aside Sunday as my blogging and picture sorting day:

• I found my ultimate martini at a Vodka Tasting sponsored by Ketel One
• Thursday night was a brilliant triple-bill concert with The Rural Alberta Advantage, The Acorn, and Ohbijou. It's sure to go down as an "I saw them when..." show, like seeing The Arcade Fire at the Horseshoe or Feist at Harbourfront.
• Friday night was one of the best shows I've seen Broken Social Scene play. The Beauties opened with lively set, surely pumped by a huge crowd and the debut of their EP. Broken Social Scene came on to play for over 2 hours, with Scenesters Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw of Metric making a welcome return, and a jaw-dropping surprise as Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse took the lead for a few Modest Mouse tunes with the band. It was just one big indie-rock party of love.

I have a couple hundred photos to cull to find the dozen or so I like. In the meantime, for those of you who caught the show "How I Met Your Mother" on Monday, here's the complete copy of Lily's list of 50 Reasons To Have Sex. A couple of them, like reason #39, are a funny callback to old episodes and character history, and #41 is amusingly disturbing but plausible.
