This is the best news I've heard all month:

Cellphone giants lose stranglehold. The gist is that in the next spectrum auction, 40 MHz will be reserved by Industry Canada for 'new entrants' (ie, not Telus, Bell, or Rogers), and the remaining 65 MHz will be open.

So, not counting all my eggs yet, but the intention is to increase competition in the Canadian mobile market (which is nonexistent; the existing oligopoly is VERY profitable).

Blue Rodeo is playing Center in the Square Saturday, February 9th. Tickets are pricey, but I think worth it. :>

Also, at CITS, on Wed April 16th and Thurs 17th, is some production of Dark Side Of The Moon. I'm a little unclear what the format is. I *think* symphonic. (Update: according to here, the Electric Thursdays format is "one rock band + 60 piece symphony = four amazing nights out". That sounds awesome.)

And! And! Collective Soul will be playing Elements on Valentine's Day.

I want to go to ALL of these!

I'd love to see Blue Rodeo -- can I go with you?

[chezmax]

I certainly do not see any reason why not :)

Excellent! Want me to buy the tickets? Does J want to come? (psychedelicbike is not a fan.)

[chezmax]

I believe J does. Let's wait until tomorrow or Monday to buy the tickets so I can work out the details with him (and anyone else who might want to come)

Sounds good :-)

I'm excited! I've never seen them in concert.

How much are the Blue Rodeo tickets out of curiosity?

[chezmax]

$51 for regular seats, $40 in the balcony.

Hrm... and how much are Collective Soul tickets?

[chezmax]

$39.50, plus ticketing agent fees and the like.

Would you be going to that one too?

If so I think I might be able to convince Andrew to let me go with you.

I can't afford to do both.

I plan on going. :)
