We had a big burger BBQ last night to officially open up the patio. Bloats.
Summer is winding down, which blows, so I am enjoying as much backyard fire pit time as possible. This weekend we feasted on some steaks and wings.
Also this weekend was a 40% off sale at Beat Goes On, and I ended up scoring a bunch of awesome albums for Treephones. The idea that he is just cruising around the tri cities sans Bushes is too much for me to bare. I managed to score the Friends EP from the Weens for myself, along with Loose Fur, Clinic, and a couple of Becks.
Also, this Dead Cross album has REALLY grown on me. Sounds awesome in The Brid.

Fall came early this Civic Holiday long weekend, as it was colder than a witches tit, although I am not complaining when you have to rip out a giant tree by the roots in your backyard. Most of the weekend was spent out back, and thats exactly what I hoped for. I decided to have a Stephen King double feature out back Sunday night with Stand By Me and IT. 20 minutes into Stand by Me, rain started to fall a little bit. Enough to get me to run my projector into the house, and put out the fire. Once everything was packed up the rain had stopped. Way she goes.

Turns out Joe is moving to Halifax this Tuesday, so Friday night a couple of us hung out for a BBQ at my place, and then hit Apollo for The Big Sick. Slept fuck all on Friday night so I spent the rest of the weekend relaxing and chilling out.

Pretty low key weekend, which I liked. I took a little road trip to London, my old Funshawe stomping ground, to hit up Grooves records as it was open on Canada Day. I have not been to London in years, so it was pretty fun. Snagged an Erics Trip cd too!
Other than that, most of my weekend was spent in my backyard, as the weather was finally nice, and not wet.
Last night I watched UP THE ACADEMY, which Gary always raved about. With good reason, as this movie is hilarious.

Really great weekend to be outside, which is pretty much all I did. Tonz and the Boyz came by Friday night for some sweet BBQ burgs and S'mores around the firepit. Lots of fun times.
Matthew wanted a 24 hour break from his kids so he came by on Saturday and we just sat by the firepit the entire day cooking ribs and having some pops. Badmotorfinger was cranked as well. Later on Jaclyn joined us to watch Karate Kid on the Shady Lane Drive In Screen.
Sunday Laura and Graham came over for a visit too. Lots of fun times.
Below is a series of images of our Saturday meal. I followed a BBQ Pit Boys recipe for country style pork ribs, and god damn are they ever good!
