I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm an Onkwehonweh from Akwesasne, which is a complicated little place that is divided by the US/Canada border and the Ontario/Quebec border. Conveniently we are right in between Ottawa and Montreal, which gives me alot of opportunities to see some good concerts. I love going to concerts! If you do too, then you'll probably see me at one. I've been known to take off on a whim and drive 7 hrs to take in a free show. I like hitting the Bluesfest in Ottawa, you never know who you're going to meet there. I met Adam Beach there one night before seeing The Hip and also got Colin James' autograph after his show. You could call me a Groupie but I prefer Band Enthusiast.I enjoy nights @ the Legion and picking out spelling and grammatical errors on myspace pages. I also enjoy wearing black t-shirts, jeans, chuck taylors, and tall guys!I am really all about music!You want me to love your band!

My Interests

Concerts, concerts, and more concerts!! Music Hanging out and knocking back a few with friends Taking pictures Watching my kids play soccer

I'd like to meet:

I'd really like to meet Sam Roberts, The Trews, and Matt Mays & El Torpedo. I've been wearing their cd's out lately. I'd also like to meet Adam Beach again and not act like a tool this time. UPDATE: I've to meet The Trews, Derek Miller and Jeff Allen! In general I like to meet cool people who are into good music, having a good time, and can appreciate my unique brand of humour.

The Trews, Sam Roberts, The Hip, Matt Mays & El Torpedo, Colin James, Blue Rodeo, Big Sugar, Bif Naked, Priestess, Pearl Jam, Theory of a Deadman, George Leach, Derek Miller, Black Crowes, The Blues Brothers, RHCP, CCR, SRV, Otis Redding, Sheryl Crow, Tina Turner, Joss Stone, Dwight Yoakam, The Eagles, Incubus, Fleetwood Mac, Grand Funk, Bad Company, Cheap Trick, The Doors, The Commitments, Ram Jam - Black Betty is the best rock song ever! The list is endless! The Mitchell Boys are the best wedding band and I love all the old school tunes they play! I like pretty much everything, but I mostly like to ROCK OUT!
