Approaching Summer:

Tuesday, June 27th, 2006

Ok,

So, this summer this is what is happening:

First: Steve has declared that despite how individual members feel Blocks as a group is cheering for Ghana in the World Cup (despite the fact that today they got eliminated by Brazil).

Second: Final Fantasy is currently on tour.

Third: Ninja High School is going to go on tour in August.

Fourth: Bob Wiseman is going on tour this summer with Final Fantasy, but will be returning through Canada with a member of “Canadian National Treasures” Kids in the Hall! Scott Thompson (the gay one), will be touring with Bob immediately following Bob’s tour with Owen.

Fifth: The Phonemes/Magali are touring this summer with Bob and Owen! Details are very similar between this tour and the other tour.

Sixth: The Fucked Up 12″ will come out in October, not July as previously mentioned.

Seventh: Bob Wiseman’s first studio LP ever is being re-issued on Blocks. It should be available during the summer.

Eigth: Blocks now has an office! Of our own! Located above the Tranzac club in Downtown Toronto, we’re just fixing things up, buying plants and working things out, but soon, very soon, we will have things made right and nice, and there’ll be office hours and shit. In the mean time, some Blocks releases are available in the downstairs bar at the Tranzac club weather anyone of us is actually here or not. So drop by, the bar is open from five onwards and you stand a good chance of catching Alex Lukashevsky or even actual Deep Dark United playing if you drop by later (around nine or so).

Ninth: Matt Collins is still playing manhunt every Thursday here in Toronto. This is the website about that particular game.

Tenth: Fucked Up are apperantly going on tour in mid July, but they don’t tell us ANYTHING so we can’t pass more info on than that.

Also: we know that Owen’s own, personal Final Fantasy website does exist but it’s weird and messed up a bit. Don’t use www.finalfantasyeternal.com instead use finalfantasyeternal.com. Does that make sense?
