In regards to beer, I remember drinking Labatt's when I was last in Buffalo for Galacticon in 2018. I have not had Labatt's since 2018 and I plan to stay away from it when I return to Buffalo later this month. Canada has some great things that I like such as poutine, but Labatt's is just not the beer for me personally. Yeah, Labatt's isn't very good. For Canadian beer I've found you usually need to go with a microbrewery if you're looking for quality; The Granville Island Brewing Company here in Vancouver makes excellent beer! Despite being Canadian I've never been a fan of poutine. Everyone I mention this to looks at me like I have two heads. I don't like cheese curds or gravy so that makes the dish difficult for me to enjoy. I think I'm also the only person in this country who doesn't like The Tragically Hip. Not to speak ill of the dead but the lead singer Gord Downie's voice grates on my nerves. Sorry bro but I'm not into IPAs, microbreweries, etc. at all. I do like a Labatt Blue every now and again though. You're probably helping your heart health by not eating poutine, LOL. Do you like Bryan Adams or Rush?

In terms of music for this thread, my friend Ofi (Wilie Mack's former girlfriend) got me and her free tickets to the upcoming Interrupters show. Ofi knows the Intertupters (but I introduced her to their music back in 2016) and she also bought me and her tickets to the Dropkick Murphys show the following night.
Ofi is awesome but she is single now and I am hoping she finds a new boyfriend soon as I can not say enough good things about her. I look forward to going to see The Bikeriders with her on Thursday night!

Have a good time. yeah Ofi is awesome, I am just too old for her as I am 51 and she does not turn 32 until August, I really want her to find somebody great, she has expressed interest in one of my friends who is in his early 30s and I really want that to work out if possible!

There's some craft beer I don't like either: Hazy IPA's are yucky and most fruit-infused beers are guilty of the fruit flavor overpowering the beer. I've got nothing against Rush; they have a few good songs. I am a big Bryan Adams fan though; "Waking Up The Neighbors" is my all-time favorite album. It's the only album I've ever listened to where I can honestly say there's not a single bad song on it.

Nothing wrong with helping two friends come together. Besides summer school is over for him so Zeke would have to wait till the fall.

Holy cow Zeke you're 52? I know I don't know you that well but I was gonna say 30s for you.
I mean if Michael Douglas (79) and Catherina Zeta (54) work ... like the kids say today Yoyo or Yoda or Yolo. But either way sounds like you're a great friend.
