NOVEMBER 2004 l iust finished reading a book. I read the whole thing! i know what you're thinking. "whoopâ€"dee-doo buddy". Well. my friends, there was a‘time when this four-wheeled writer wouldn't be caught dead in a bookstore ‘for fear of falling asleep in the middle of an aisle In high school English classes I always chose to,read the books with the least amount of pages no matter what they were about. and usually skipped a few chapters in between, if I were only able to write a book report about the latest edition of Auto Trader maybe my English mark would have been a little better As many would attest l was would attest I was definitely not one you'd catch sitting down for long The book that l just finished reading is called It's No: What Happens to You. "'5 What You Do Aboul It. and Is written by w Mitchell. I couldn‘t help but think about this book on a want excurslon to see a band play at The tod friend alch the show. Ah a pub stub and a u , ol the Homhoe t a Iencxhy lineup hi ed at the ticket boot uelncox 00in! )mpanic The while all Doing something we conveniently melted ourselves into it without confrontation. lust beyond the ticket booth three steps separated the front bar area from the rear concert area but not to fear, a phone call I had made earlier that day confirmed that a guy by the name of Tyrone would be more than happy to bring the ramp out. Much like some of the other ramps that l have used Tyrone's ramp looked like it had been around the world and back. He assured me that “it's all good bro" as it creaked, jar imE 2 on 1 thu mg L )ugh a mo ans lo get a performer with m Maining t( a mob o to properly see them was not such a big deal‘. The opening band finished up and some guys onstage prepared the instruments and sound system "for the main act. The crowd in front of the stage held their territory as my thoughts of making it up to the front faded away The performer that we were so looking forward to seeing was an Australian famous for playing the guitar and didgeridoo (a native Australian instrument) at the same time. Unlike the other band I really wanted to see this guy play, He got started and the area in front of me really packed up to the point where I couldn‘t see a thing. In fact I was staring directly at the back of the tallest guy in the entire place! I was truly disappointed. After half a dozen songs I couldn't take it anymore. I wouldn‘t let this ruin my night out. I yelled out “OK, that's enough... who wants to be my plow!?" A friend who was sitting with me eagerly lumped at the opportunity and we quickly employed our plow technique, Margo walked in front of me tapping people's shoulders to get in tront 0! me tappmt people's shoulders to ge their attention and politel asked them to make way‘ was expecting some angr looks but thankfull an emed to ur 3f by Luke Anderson from running over three or four feet the iourney to the front was smooth and successful, we made it right to the stage! Taking in the concert from right in front of the stage for the last half of the show was a totally different experience. one that I will not forget. Situations, predicaments. encounters and tall guys that block your view. some of life's circumstances that provoke us “to do something about it" and make our lives much more interesting. 137 Main St, Markham - 9052945882 - www.peppertree.ca OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK and HOLIDAYS womsmsnoNs-snors-msmmms MNome WM You'fliMAt... 6397 Main SL, Stouffville 0 905-642-9864 roberLreidSstmpaticoxa Tuesday to SaturdayVIOam to 6pm ' 9 pieces of delicious chickefi 0 medium fries 0 2 medium coleslaws 0 4 biscuits - gravy 6242 Main Stfeet . 905-642-9511 Fabulous New Fall 2004 Fashions WHITCHURCH-STOUFFVILLE THIS MONTH â€" 7 Sunday by Chance WW Serving BROASTER CHICKEN
