I guess a big story is that Bon Jovi is performing at the JLC tonight, which is our hockey arena seating oh give or take 9,000+ fans. But with the stage cutting the place in half and fans on the floor who knows. Also the Foo Fighters have just announced that they will be doing an acoustic set there in March so I will try and catch that one for sure.
Our university of Western football team is in morning after losing 52-20 at the hands of the Manitoba Bisons, to end their season, which was surprising starting the year losing their first four and then running the table to get to the semi's, crazy.
We are dealing with a sinkhole in the sewer system and some have said that the Performing arts centre should go away to pay for losses the city will have to incur. But the city and Mayor have stated that it won't affect the plan for the new development.
I would hope that it wouldn't as I will look forward to the important step of growing the arts here in London.
Roller Derby has made it's way to the Forest City playing their first game at the Western Fair’s Canada Building. Shocking as 800 people attended this one time event for '07. I remember the last time I saw the derby, I am not quite old enough to have seen the first days of the sport, but I have seen the rebirth attempts made on tv, most notably on the old station TNN, where they would have a sort of tilted track instead of a flat track and railings to get checked over and some had roller blades also. They would have 4 periods I believe and have women and men on the same team, not skating together but taking turns as in Men periods 2 and 4 with women 1-3. It was very exciting, as was a new sport I fell ion love with that has moved to the extreme action channel or something which was SLAMBALL, the greatest sport ever.

W/out a track, the Roller Derby looks dangerous. The bodies must be flying everywhere.
