Halifax: Worse Than Death?
Apparently George Washington thought so, as a 229 year-old letter which is about to be auctioned proves:
In the four-page letter dated May 9, 1776, he said the Loyalists detested their time in Halifax and preferred to die than to stay in the city.
Fortunately, the city has improved greatly since the old days. Why, just ask the Barenaked Ladies.
(Well, I like it here. Mostly.)

Well, it can’t be that bad since you guys are apparently getting the 2006 Juno awards. Unless that’s a conspiracy to eliminate the Canadian music industry.

I knew I could get you to comment if I posted your news!
Trish is quite excited about the Junos, but I simply can’t plan that far in advance. Hell, I’m not ready to make plans for 2005 yet, and apparently I’m in it.
Last time the ECMA’s were in Halifax we went to the show, and had a blast. The Junos will really have to work to compete, in my mind. I mean Buck 65 and Charlie A’Court are much more interesting to me than Nickelback and Avril Lavigne… but if Danny gets another nomination, or something equally cool, I definitely will be there.
