The Best Things in Life...
are the things you stumble across. Now, this isn't a tale of "boy meets girl" or even "boy meets epic figure." This is a tale of a random bus ride to an ill fated party, which resulted in the discovery of something even more awesome.
The music scene in Ottawa is excellent, but venues are hard to find, and reasonably priced shows are even fewer and farther between. Unfortunately, Ottawa simply isn't Montreal (though some days I suspect it wishes it was). Despite that shortcoming, some floor mates and I had caught wind of what was rumoured to be an epic party. You know, the ones that university students throw, and embarrassing pictures are put on Facebook, and someone usually throws up in an awkward place because they couldn't pace themselves. One of those.
Anyways, as we get off the first bus and prepare to board a second, we see that a house has a drum kit and a bunch of other audio equipment set up in the living room. No sooner has this happened than the organizer of this local scene concert pops out the door and has us all inside, listening to some very excellent music.
Seriously, this house was sweet, with eclectic wall decorations, a glow-light basement, and several bands from Halifax playing in 2 different rooms.
Long story short, this discovery would never have happened if we didn't hop on this bus and try and get to what turned out to be a non-existant party.
Maybe music isn't dead, maybe we all just forgot what it sounded like.
