I spent most of my growing-up years (ages 4-17) living near the city of Port Huron, which is mostly only interesting to people who don't live near it because it has one of Michigan's three border crossings with Canada - the one featured in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kelliem's Crossroads, in fact (yeah, I admit it, I squee for the Blue Water Bridge).
( So I'm just going to ramble about some of my formative experiences with Canada, okay? )
So last nightiuliamentis and I are sitting on the couch, listening to Gord rant about killer whales, and Iulia says, "I wonder how often the Hip tour?"
Furious parallel tapping at laptops ensues, but Iulia beats me to the punch.
"Hmm," she says, "They're at the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto on July 1st."
I boggle. "Is that, like, the most Canadian moment possible? The Hip playing the Molson in Toronto on Canada Day?"
Iulia shrugs, unfazed by the Canadianness. "They're playing Sarnia, too. July 17."
I boggle harder. "The Hip are playing Sarnia?" Good Lord. They might as well be playing my hometown.
"Yeah," she says, "Bayfest. At... hm... Centennial Park."
I almost fall off the couch with the force of my bogglement, and start gibbering about What Centennial Park Means to Me. But it's been way too long since I visited, so... July 17, eh?
We're going to see the Hip!
