Kickball anyone?

Fun times this weekend...the junky + bf, little becs, K and his J and of course..moi...went to check out the battle of the kickball bands at White Orchid on Saturday..the bands were all interesting to say the least....Shitt Hott of course rocked the house...but another favourite of mine was also Shawn Jurek & Team Power...check them out around the city if you get a chance...and i think Shawn Jurek is also a solo performer so do check him out....he is fantabulous...

The battle was a fundraiser for toronto kickball...wooo kickball....i must admit that i'm thoroughly excited for the upcoming kickball season...which *I believe*...starts in the summer....it will mean my return to team sports after an almost decade-long hiatus...kudos to the junky who convinced me that drunken sports with indie rockers would be an exceptional way to spend the summer...

On a very unrelated sidenote: I am crushing hard on Sufjan Stevens...after only recently discovering him during a *brief encounter* on a flight back from New York..been listening to his Greetings from Michigan album and am completely head-over-heels-in-love...a particular favourite is his For the Widows in Paradise, For the Fatherless in Ypsilanti....do have a listen because you will not regret it! (did I forget to mention that he is also friends *and went to school with* Jhumpa Lahiri..famed author of The Namesake..which has now been turned into a movie? yah....that's right...).....so stay tuned and if his music doesn't make you feel like you're lying at sundown on a beach listening to the waves of the ocean while enjoying a fabulous high....we may have words to exchange!
