Vendredi, donc demain, je fais mon 1er “Dj set” dans la soirée de notre bon ami L’Étiquette. Sa soirée s’appele “L’Étiquette & Friends” et c’est chaque dernier vendredi du mois au Salon Officiel. Le nom dit un peu le concept, qui consiste à inviter chaque fois un ami à mixer, qu’il soit Dj ou pas. Cette fois c’est mon tour, je vous concocte un petit set assez amusant je crois et j’espère vous voir là-bas pour se défoncer un peu avec la famille!

Il paraît que je sors plus assez…je vais tous les faire mentir vendredi!

Friday I’m doing my first Dj set at our good friend L’Étiquette’s venue “L’Étiquette & Friends”. It’s every last friday of the month at Salon Officiel and the concept is to invite one of his friend, dj or not, and this time it’s my turn. I’m gonna prepare a really nice set just for your pleasure and I hope to see you there so we can party all night!

Word on the street is that I don’t party enough those days…..I’ll prove they’re wrong!

This is the kind of thing I would have need a couple of years ago, juste before I get rid of my tapes collection thinking i’ll never see a tapedeck again. Now it’s too late…I don’t even own a PC but for those who do and are dreaming of listening to these old mixtapes on their ipod, this little thing here can convert them to your favorite digital format.

They’re back, the Bo Jacksons sneakers and you can get them at Off The Hook. Don’t even think twice, go get them. Bo Jacksons…one of the few (with Deion Sanders) to have been at the same time an NFL and MLB player.

NICE!

There’s a video on the net from a couple of days about a Teletoon van being stolen. The van contains all the equipment for the unveiling of the new programs this next monday at noon.

My friend Sylvain from Teletoon found this note on his office door:

Maybe we’ll know more on monday…
Wait…Les Vengeurs…signed with claws…could it be..??

Figure8 recently moved so while we were in his neibourghood we checked out his action figures collection….

Earlier this week I paid a visit to the montreal office of legendary Vice Magazine. You probably already know about this mag, it’s been around since 1994 and was born here in Montreal. They’re now officially based in NY but have offices all around the world.

Here’s Annie Q. from VICE Québec and the montreal office.

VICE is not only a paper magazine distributed freely in many cities around the globe, VICE is also a really nice Website (Viceland), a webTV and a record label. The montreal office do many things for the development, including adaptation for Quebec’s french population.

I suggest you take a look at their website and their webTV and try to grab the paper edition if you see one in your city. Long live to one of the unique magazine giving us content really different from the others out there for 15 years. For the folks who like reading about which country produces the sloppiest drunks then aan interview with a drug addicted rock band followed by an article about the situation in North Korea.

You’ll found everything at VICE office… from old 1995 mag when they were called Voice to good ol’ rat food!

hose who follow me on twitter know that I was at the Rogers Cup on monday to watch the first game of that wonderful event. It’s the third year that I went to at least one game and I must admit that I’m getting more into it everytime.

This time I had the chance to be in the Rogers VIP, the same place where the players come to relax, eat and take a drink. best backstage ever: really cute hostess, free beer, wine, drink, whatever you want and I had “crêpe farcies” for lunch and “confît de canard” for diner. All that while watching the best players in the world facing each others. I would have spent the whole week if I could. ( little bit jealous of Arianne Moffat who was there for the whole week)
