Hehe, thanks man. That made my day.
You know, lots of people had problems remembering the guys' names, so the thing to keep in mind is this: The guy who looks like a Benny is named Bjorn, and the guy who looks like a Bjorn is Benny.
Works every time!

My hat is fantastic, and I'll probably end up wearing it at some point, or multiple points, during the summer. It really is just that great. Seriously. Seriously, eh.

And you live in Toronto? No way. I live in Waterloo.

Hey! You changed your avatar. Lookin' good touquey. I shouldn't talk; I'm Canadian

I drive by, or walk around, the Perimeter Institute almost weekly. It's right next to Waterloo Park, and is one of the most interestingly designed buildings in our tri-cities area. I can't wait for them to hold another lecture series. Last year they hosted "Einstien Fest".

Fun fact: Outside they have a "break area" with a large outdoor chalk board. Sometimes you'll find all sorts of equations, theories, notes, etc scrawled all over it. Some you can understand, and others make your eyes bleed.

Okay, I'm a long-time lurker now first-time poster. Why? Because watching this I nearly choked on my toast because this whole thing is filmed IN MY TOWN of Waterloo, Ontario. So it definitely needs a *Canada addition immediately.

If anything it's probably from students at WLU or UW Universities. I first picked up on it from them getting on a Grand River Transit bus in UpTown Waterloo showing our JazzFest banners on the street lights.

It's made by a French street theatre company called Royal de Luxe. They came to London in May 2006 and started off by crashing a wooden rocket into Waterloo Place a few days before. Brilliant.

Wow this was filmed near Waterloo, London where I pass by often. I've never seen this guy there before. He would've blew my mind.

Shoes are for chumps. At least that's what I told the guy in the white van who shouted just that at me today while I cycled over Waterloo Bridge minding my own business.

Yeah, Sammy seemed a little overwhelmed and subdued...but he was an ace clarinet player. Besides, everyone else has enough enegy to make up for him. ;-)

And I think they're right...it's all a ruse to keep your town to yourself. ;-)

Winkler, definitely catch a show. They are so fantastic. I'm going to Waterloo this Friday to see them again.

Tour Schedule - we hope to see them @Club Passim in Cambridge - thanks for the review; I knew it'd be a good show but this makes me want to get tix NOW.
