After living [...]

Don’t Sell Your Soul for Tickets

How much is too much? It’s a topic we’ve touched on in the past, and back when Leonard Cohen came to the K-Rock Centre, pairs of tickets to his show were being sold on eBay for as much as $1,400. While I wasn’t specifically watching to see if Elton John tickets would surpass that [...]

Kingstonist Goes to the Polls

Sometimes I like to think of Kingstonist as a garden (of awesomeness), which requires constant care and attention in order for it to grow and ultimately flourish. This goes far beyond the daily grind of pruning content, approving comments and engaging readers via Twitter. From time to time we attempt to fertilize our [...]
