I was just in Toronto last week. I hung out around Eaton Centre on Dundas Street and Yonge. I played in the water fountains and then went to the Hard Rock Cafe and had a gay waiter(btw it was hilarious). Then I went shopping the rest of the day. The HMV is so much better than all the music stores around here IMO.

HMV is so expenxsive though, $25.00 for a single CD.

I will admit the one of Yonge Street is nicer then the one on Queen.

I feel love, I feel a power. It comes to me in the darkest hour. And I want to feel it again

I agree with everyone else. Just hang out and enjoy the city for what it's worth. There are always random shows going on, from little clubs like the Rockit to the ACC and Skydome. Go downtown and just walk around, you'll get yourself into something. And, there's always parades too. Or Ontario Place!

I don't know what your into, but I love the Royal Ontario Museum. You could always go there ... enjoy a little "street meat" in the midst of it all. :)

I hear it's all about Little Italy at night, too.

Without you I'm as good as

Go to HMV and you'll see Jeremy. And if he's there, tell him I want my damn bus ticket back.

I have bad Toronto memories.

I was there for one night and I was young. Anyways, I was walking around Queen street or something (I have no idea where it was exactally) and I had a horrible migrane. I just wanted to go home and go to bed. But I couldn't. So yeah. No Toronto for me.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

I like Sam's better. Gail's right, HMV is kinda overpriced.

go to edward's record world at yonge & eglinton, thats a great store

and if you want some older or rarer CDs, go to Vortex which is just a few stores down. they're super-cheap and i've found some greaaaaaaaaat stuff there
you have to, you just have to trust me
whoever i was then i can't ever be again
the faith you've found i've never felt
the terror held in wedding bells
the comfort in "there's no one else"
the truth be told, i'm never going to know

Just wanted to say Hi.

Last Year at this time we were at the Concert For Toronto. I forgot your name, but know I met you when they were interviewing Raine and Jeremy in the truck.

WOW, has it been a year all ready? That was a fun weekend. Hanging out with friends at the concert and the MMVA's. Time does fly. I don't know when I will be in Toronto again this year. No plans as of now. I was just there in Feb. I want to go back to Montreal. I have yet to really see it beyond an OLP show. I might go end of summer.

I feel love, I feel a power. It comes to me in the darkest hour. And I want to feel it again

go check out much music for sure, the cbc gives a pretty sweet tour, and no trip to toronto is complete without a visit to the condomn shack (don't worry its not what you think) and don't look the hobo's in the eye, and the TTC is very good if you want cheap fast transportation, go for the day pass, its like $8 and it lasts the entire day. Have fun!!

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..
