Here are some great things I found out today:
-Jamie Cullum is coming to Ottawa Jazz Fest on July 2nd (closing night) in Confederation Park, and then Montreal Jazz Fest the night after. And the best part is I was already planning on being in Ottawa that weekend and heading back to Montreal for work on the 3rd. And I might just be able to get my hands on a backstage pass in Ottawa if I'm lucky.
-Keane's 2nd album, Under the Iron Sea, is out on June 20th! And the first single will be released sometime this month. I'm guessing they'll be touring North America by the Fall.
May 6/7 - Ariane maybe coming to visit
May 13/14 - Mom coming to visit for Mother's Day
May 20-22 - May long weekend canoe trip!
June 22-25 - Home to the Ottawa Jazz Festival because it's the St. Jean Baptiste Day long weekend!
June 29-July 2 - Ottawa Jazz Festival again, for Canada Day long weekend (and Jamie Cullum)
July 3 - Jamie Cullum in Montreal
July 4-8 - Hanging out at Montreal Jazz Festival (Ben and friends probably coming up for it too)
July 9-21 - Biology field course at Mont St. Hilaire (McGill's Gault Nature Reserve) - I get to learn how to identify all the plants around Montreal!
August 5-7 - possible camping trip weekend!
I think I may be able to work out my schedule, thanks to long weekends, so that I can keep normal work hours and still make every night of the Ottawa Jazz Fest except for June 26/27/28. And I could always bus back and forth for those nights if any really awesome people are going there, and not Montreal Jazz Fest the next week.
Anyway, time to stop getting distracted by summer and focus on exams *sigh*
