I am pleased to report that Canadian indie rock boys still wear plaid. Tonight I went to the SteamWhistle Brewery for their indie concert series Unsigned. The proceeds of which go to my organization (Woot! Everyone go buy Steam Whistle!! Actually, they are awesome people and if I liked their beer, I'd buy it...) I made it through 2 of the 3 bands - which is pretty good considering I'm old. And they didn't suck. And really, the Roundhouse is a great place for an event. So yay.

The evening started out with a visit to the Vegetarian Food Fair. Which was very crunchy granola but good fun. Though my friend and I were repeatedly asked if we were vegetarian, which was just weird. I mean, does it matter? Clearly we are at a vegetarian food fair so we must be at least interested...the soy milk women was very aggressive about it when I said I was she said "so you don't eat fish". And I'm thinking, seriously lady I don't need a lecture from you about the difference between vegetarian and pescitarian (not spelling that right, but you know, people who eat fish). Giving vegetarians a bad name!

Anyway, we still ate good food and I bought quinoa so all was well. Yes, I carried quinoa to the concert thus officially making me an old woman! It's true. But I needed quinoa, so this was the choice I had to make. My Loblaws doesn't seem to sell it, or at least I can't find it there and when I asked last time the 12 year old helping me had never heard of it. For this reason I miss Trader Joe's where the aisles were full of quinoa!! And tofu. And cheap wine. Sigh.
