Toronto-based band Billy Talent rocked Saint John on Friday, September 7th. For more background on the band, check out Wikipedia or HereNB.
The opening band, illScarlett, was pretty good and did a great job opening for Billy Talent. However, once Billy Talent, came out they blew everyone away. I was really impressed with the lead singer, Ben Kowalewicz, as his voice was perfect the entire time. I have no idea how he can still sing after all of his screaming!
Their final song was Red Flag and it was the perfect end a great concert. For anyone who has the chance to see them in concert - do it, they put on an awesome show!
Here are their videos, check them out if you’ve never heard of the band before!

This video is simply hilarious. It reenacts the incident with Larry Craig in the airport bathroom. For anyone wondering, Larry Craig is a Republican Senator who was arrested June 8 when he allegedly made sexual advances to an undercover police officer (who was in the stall next to his in a public washroom at the Minneapolis airport). Now, the Republican party has turned against him, and they want him to resign.
See what really happened in the following reenactment:

Part 2: Think it’s a hassle?
Tim has doubts about ridesharing because he as special circumstances. He worries that no one would actually want to rideshare with him. Tim lists excuse after excuse why he thinks he can’t rideshare but quickly discovers that each one can be overcome.
Part 3: It’s easier than you think!
Tim starts to like the idea of ridesharing. He discovers that the new website provided by the Saint John Parking Commission can easily match him up with other people looking to rideshare. He also learns of other easy ways to find rideshare matches.
Part 4: A winning situation!
Ridesharing really agrees with Tim. We meet Tim’s new rideshare partners who have a lot in common with him. Tim is relaxed and happy now that he’s saving money and helping the environment.
