Newfie world is a much happier place. 
Speaking of which... George Street Festival in 8 days!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sure I explained this before, but I can't seem to find the post. I think it may have been in Mal's diary, actually. Anyway, George Street Festival is an annual festival here in St. John's that lasts for a week. There's no cover to get on the street before 7:00 and after 7:00 it's $10 to get on the street and you can go to all the bars. There are a few big bands and a bunch of local/semi-local bands throughout the week, but most people don't really care about that. lol To most Newfies, it's just an excuse to get drunk for a week. Keep in mind, as I explained once before as well, that George Street is a street that consists of nothing but bars. It has more bars per square foot than any street in North America. It's also closed to traffic at all times, except between 8:00 am-12:00 noon. But closed completely to trafiic at ALL times during the festival because cars wouldn't have a prayer of getting through.
Anyway, I'm really excited about the festival.
It starts next Thursday. Sloan will be opening the party, so I'll be going to hear them. Gotta work the next morning, so it'll be a light night.
And I'm gonna miss Friday night because of our camping, but we decided to come back Saturday night so we can go down on George.

You have to get your ass out! The gay bars rock. There are no official gay bars on George Street, but a couple on the neighboring streets. One really awesome one in particular, that's open til 8 am.
