Happy Blues Fest everyone!  I was out and about last night with some friends checking out some great bands.  First, I headed to Confederation Basin to see Carlos del Junco.  I have never heard anyone play a harmonica like this guy, it was incredible!  And equally as incredible was the wonderful vibe around the stage [...]

Happy Friday everyone!  Wow, it was almost chilly this morning wasn’t it?  According to my thermometer, it was 13 when I woke up today.  Still sunny and beautiful though.  I’m certainly not going to complain, this summer has been amazing.  I guess Mother Nature felt she owed us one after last year…
So what are your [...]

It’s been a busy week for protesters in Kingston between the controversial Poker Run and the Prison Farm cattle removal.  It’s incredible to see people who care so much about our city and who are willing to put themselves on the line to show it.  Prison Farm protesters, we are behind you.  Keep on keepin’ [...]

Kingstonist’s Guide to Breakfast

You asked for it, you got it.  After the great response from our Summer Guide to Patios, I decided to create a guide for where to get breakfast and brunch in our fine city.  I’ll begin by saying that I learned a lot putting together this post and I can tell you now that I’m [...]

Saving The Royal Canadian Horse Artillery

The Royal Canadian Horse Artillery (RCHA) Club has existed in downtown Kingston (193 Ontario Street to be precise) since 1947.  Nestled in an almost secret-club-like spot above The Raging Bull Chop House, it has served as a meeting spot for Kingston military members and retirees, hosted private parties, run golf tournaments and turkey shoots and [...]

Joe’s M.I.L.L.

I recently decided that I wanted to learn to play the mandolin.  I’m a violinist so it seemed like a fairly possible endeavour since the tuning and fingering are identical.  I had heard about, and even fundraised for, Joe’s Musical Instrument Lending Library but had never actually been there myself.  It turns out it’s a [...]

Pat’s Restaurant (it’s not sushi!)

In case you haven’t noticed, Kingston is full of Cambodian and Thai restaurants.  Despite my 10 years of living here, I’ve only recently ventured into some of these establishments, the first experience being at Phnom Pehn nearly a year ago.  A friend of mine is an excellent chef and made me some incredible Penang one [...]

Pico de Gallo

This past Friday, Harvey and I and a couple of friends went to The Mansion to check out Pico de Gallo.  I had heard about this band over and over again but had yet had a chance to actually see them.  I’m so glad I finally did.
Pico de Gallo is about to celebrate its 13th [...]

Final Fantasy in Kingston

Owen Pallett, aka Final Fantasy, plays with himself in front of hundreds of people.  By this I mean, he electronically loops the sound of his own violin, keyboard and voice and then plays along with it.   He was in Kingston last night and played to a nearly sold-out audience at Sydenham Street United Church.  [...]
