Though I did enjoy Toronto alot. Also stayed in the hotel in that stadium under the CN tower. Watched a blue jays game from our room! Would like to see some other places though, do not touristy things. Just enjoy whats there by itself.
I have one of those funny stories where I was standing on a street corner in Toronto waiting to cross the street.  There were a number of guys at the same corner wearing Rush t-shirts, so I struck up a conversation with them.  It turned out that Rush was having a fan club convention that same weekend that I was there.  I was kind of ready to drop all of our plans and go to that, but I was kind of overruled. LOL

What? No, you're just wrong. Everything is "just music". What, exactly, is more difficult than free jazz? If your only categories of difficulty are Merzbow/everything else, I think you should rethink your categories. Although I will agree that most of the early stuff like Ornette Coleman is surprisingly tame for modern ears.


anything I listen to as firmly rooted in jazz - specifically the old be-bop and swing and standards - as Coltrane's stuff sounds like to me, I don't find in the slightest bit difficult to listen to. 

Stuff like, say, Miles Davis' fusion period, is a little more difficult, IMO, because it's more abstract and less straight-up jazz.  Doesn't have the same flow

I agree with you there. I like the idea of soaking in the culture of the place and people.

I guess it's always better to have spoken beforehand with a local, or meet a local there to discover the most interesting places.

Like, when I was in London, I did do the typical tourist things, but perhaps the moments I remember the best weren't that at all. Actually, this is the place I always talk about when I talk about going to London, and it was recommended by this British dude at my uni before I left.

Gordon's Wine Bar

Same with Prag... couldn't remember the name of the pub I was in, but it looked dodgy, yet the food was amazing. And Urquell Pilsner on tap... well... yum. Best night of that trip.

Best food is always from the most hole-in-the-wall places.

Sure.

Doubtful? Maybe.
I am 100% serious though. Anyone I can get that would be willing to do this, I will do it absolutely.

Exactly June. Like this insane europe trip I'm talking about. Touristy is cool, but also just really absorbing the culture and local things.
I'd love it.

Yeah I have a friend who spent 6 months backpacking across Europe right after high school.  I'm jealous, but really I couldn't give up my scholarships for something like that

I didn't do the whole backpacking thing, but I lived in Denmark for a year after high school. Did take the opportunity to visit a couple of other countries. Not enough though.

Lucky! Its still something. And Denmark sounds cool. We all know my love for Scandinavia.
I can wait 4 years for Colin to finish school, but its gotta be done around then.
I'll be 25,26 and may not be able to get away with a european backpacking trip for much longer.

ESPN just reported the most hilarious stat ever.  The Yankees are 12 and 0 and have outscored their opponents by 62 runs without A-ROID in the line-up.  Sounds like maybe he is holding them back.
