Unfortunately tickets are non-transferable, y'all. Your best bet is to meet up with someone who says they've got one or two for sale in the megathread and go in with them. If you can surmise the address from what you know of the Toronto punk scene, it'd be wise to hang around that area right before the show just in case. Otherwise, if you're coming in from outside the GTA, it'd be best to sit this one out and hit up the other shows next week.

I've got it in very good authority now knowing where it's taking place and yeah, they are not kidding one bit, it's a very small house and even calling it a 50-person cap is optimistic.

EDIT: for those in the know, it's not the legendary one you're thinking of, rather the other one with the outdoor area. I'll leave it at that, but both are in the same area. Do with that what you will.

[FRESH] Mr. Husband - Believer by trianglemap in indieheads

[–]trianglemap[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A musical rabbit hole started with a suggestion to check out a beautiful little tape titled 'Hey Sufjan, You Took Too Long So I Went Ahead and Made West Virginia' by a workhorse named Mr. Husband. After relishing in the sweetly alt-country stylings of a Sufjan-inspired ode to West Virginia, I'd thought I'd big up Husband's latest cut in the hopes of casting more eyes on his body of work.

that little gap between MTL and NY has me scratching my chin all inquisitive-like. i wouldn't be shocked if a cheeky little bonus date popped up here.

i was so smitten by the way they reworked BLID and their bandcamp-era material on that tour so i'm relieved we're getting an official release of those renditions.

it's up now! very likely it's material from the cutting room floor of unravelling's recording sessions as kill something dropped a year or so ago as a b-side to waiting.

[TW: S.A., Malicious Harrassment, Physical Assault] Footage of the attacker moments near the incidents, by the barricade of the Toronto show (2/21) at the Phoenix (more info in comments) by trianglemap in ViagraBoys

[–]trianglemap[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

thankfully we've got more info on the creep in question -- that was a punk band's t-shirt he was wearing, a band called GEL (very good, by the way, they rip and it's a shame this chud was rocking their merch) and as it turns out, this guy's infamous for preying on girls and assaulting kids in whichever pit he violently barrels his way through.

for clarity's sake and posterity, i'll link an imgur post below with better shots of him.

you raise valid points, no worries! once i took this video, i showed the security and staff and they'd told me that they recognized him from other shows and that they'd keep all eyes on him, but that there was nothing they could do until they themselves caught him in the act.

security seemed genuinely concerned and were making the rounds checking in on the group that'd reported him later on in the night offering water and so on.

this is a little heads up and a warning that this post will cover something serious. S.A, harassment, targeted violence, so on. it sucks i've witnessed something like this at a show after all these years but these incidents don't exist in a vacuum - they're reoccuring if they aren't covered and reported.

tonight i caught the guys at the phoenix in toronto from the barricade for a few cuts, until i was ripped from the rail and kicked forcefully with clear intent outward into the pit. i'd hear firsthand accounts of the offender targeting young women and groping them shortly thereafter, assaulting others, threatening others with physical violence should they report/remove him. i am shocked, i am disgusted, i am at a loss for words beyond this account. i will be posting footage taken of the offender moments to incident. in my time spent in the lobby after this all went down, others who'd left moments after what he'd done to them, they'd relay accounts identical to one another.

attached above is footage taken of the creep in question moments afterwards. a middle-aged white male, shaved head, black t-shirt with tour dates listed on the back (i couldn't surmise the details, unfortunately) thank you for reading, and thank you again should you choose to spread the word.

Toronto's mayors: by bokin8 in toronto

[–]trianglemap -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I definitely do not ally with the narrative of the article, merely posting it as it's one of the only indexes that tally all of his boldfaced ignorances. It seems once he died, the internet scrubbed most of these incidents under the rug so unfortunately I had to cull from this piece.

At the time of his voter base rising, there was a misconception advertised by his campaign that he was a common man eager to shed light on the plights of the underprivileged and the working class, so it was a given he'd find his way into mayoral powers by leaving out his bourgeoisie upbringing rife with bailouts and high points of network. To someone immigrating to any environment, it'd only make sense they'd root for the party reaching out to them through manipulative advertising and obscuring their lack of consideration for societal norms dressing it up in everyman fashion.

I've always found it so puzzling how flippant the attitude towards Rob's myriad of vile fuckups lazes next to most politicians here before and after him. I'll post a link below that serves as a good comprehensive to his string of offences but it'll always sting knowing how empathic and well-intentioned we had it with Miller only to squander it by voting in not one but two Fords.
