only in toronto....

can you stumble upon two free outdoor concerts...

1. fall out boy - yonge and dundas square

i heard about this free show on the radio when i woke up, and i was shopping at eaton centre anyways, so i decided to check it out. i enjoy fall out boy's music, it's happy poppy punk.

that's the guitarist climbing on the structure for the last song. they only played about 5 or 6 songs, half an hour all together. can't really expect much for a free show.

fall out boy were playing a show in toronto that night with the all american rejects, who also played a set at this outdoor concert, but i didn't wait to watch them because i had to catch...

2. leonard cohen - indigo at bay and bloor

this is a picture of leonard cohen singing with ron sexsmith and the lead singer of the barenaked ladies (steven page?).

i'm not a fan of any of these people, but i have a friend who is a fan of leonard cohen, so i went to buy a signed copy of his new poetry book for her birthday, and stayed for the show.

plus, this indigo is kitty corner to where i live, so it wasn't exactly out of the way to check it out. i got a cool gift for a friend and got to check out a cool show.

i think this was a good day all around. today was definitely one of the coolest things that i've encountered living in toronto.
