Good on the horizon...

I think I take the fact that Matthew Good is a popular Canadian artist for granted. Because one of the reasons I appreciate Mr. Good so much, is that as much as I love live music, I have only seen the majority of my favourite artists/bands play live a single time (if at all). But I have seen Matt Good live now about 8 or 9 times. When he comes to town, he doesn't just come to Toronto...he also comes to the surrounding area, and I'd watch the man play every week if I could.

The last tour saw a trip out to Vancouver and short road trips to Buffalo and Peterborough.

Since announcing the full band tour, I've now picked up tickets for the acoustic show in Buffalo in March, and full band shows at Massey Hall in Toronto and Hamilton Place Theatre in Hamilton. Oh, and June 26th at the Orpheum Theatre in Vancouver as well!

I'm really looking forward to all of these!

In other news, my iPhone has been acting a little weird for a little while now. Since before I (successfully) updated to the 1.1.3 firmware it's been refusing to let me connect to wifi, and for the last couple of weeks at least I swear it hasn't been vibrating when someone calls or a text message comes in. It does it sometimes, but not for the majority. I'm also sure I haven't received at least a few text messages that have been sent to me (though this is more likely Rogers' fault more than the phone).

I'm going to try upgrading to 1.1.4. And see if it makes any difference. I've never had a problem like this with a phone before. It would be ironic if this was the one time there was a problem that required a warranty/serviceability to fix it.

Finally, I'm debating spending around $1000-1500 upgrading my home PC. A friend of mine just upgraded his and it's really really sweet. I feel like I haven't used a really good computer in a really long time, not to mention that there are currently some sweet-ass PC games out or coming out soon that I would love to spend some time playing (though to be honest, I probably wouldn't).

I'm debating because that's a lot of money and because I really want to get a Mac this time around. I'm not sure what I'm going to do.
