[Breetai]

I wonder how many concerts I've been to? I wonder if I've been to a few that I didn't even know that I went to? That's not a good sign...

I changed my favorite concert to Sam Roberts.

Hey, the Juno's (Canadian music awards) are in Edmonton this year. Maybe I should go?

Sammy's coming back to Edmonton too, except I'll probably be in BC when he gets here. I'll just catch one or two of his concerts there.
