Billy Idol Concert!!

When: Last night
Who: Billy Idol
Where: Queen E Theatre

Linda and I went to see Billy F’in Idol – can you believe it ? unloaded the kids and went out for dinner / drinks and then to the show.

What a fun show – I got these pics of the show off someone up front – we were a bit further back but still great seats

Who would have thought a 50 year old would still be rocking the way he is after all his ups and downs these past 15 years

The crowd was totally into him and stood the whole 2 hours 20 minutes show – All the girls squealed in glee when he took his shirt off. As you can see from the pics, he’s kept himself in good shape and for 50.

Hits like Eyes without a face, Flesh for fantasy, sweet sixteen, Rebel Yell and Mony Mony we’re all awesome. He pulled off a few cover tunes like The Doors LA Woman, The Who Who Are You, Elvis, Van Halen Jump. These were great covers and the crowd went ecstatic for each one.





Guitarist Steve Stevens still lives in the 80’s (not that there’s anything wrong with that) with his snakeskin outfit and hair and makeup but he was impressive. Fun to watch and the band enjoyed jamming a lot – not a formula show which made it even more enjoyable.

No drunk mosh pit for this one like I’m used to but lots of fun just the same. Hey, I can even remember this show and no clothes were ripped and I could drive home after a slurpee stop.

Golf Tourney Day - had a great day at Westwood Plateau golfing and then fantastic dinner during a fundraiser for Arts for Kids. Had the pleasure of meeting Sarah McLachlan who was kind enough to pose with me. Sarah is awesome with the charity work she does for various local and international events.

NEW PATIO














Spent the long weekend putting in a new patio in the backyard - one of the hardest things we done around the house. Had to dig up a massive 200 sqft hole 1 foot deep and then fill it in with rock dust and bricks on top. Had to make it level too on top of all that.








Way cheaper than having someone else do it for us but at the time wish I hadn't taken the project on. After all was said and done, we were very happy with the outcome and will the enjoy the backyard so much more now.
