10 May 08 Kanye West at the Bell Centre in Montreal – floor tickets still “reasonably” priced ?!
Well, I was checking out what tickets are being sold for the Kanye West show in Montreal on May 20th at the Bell Centre, and I was a bit suprised to see that many of the floor tickets (which are general admission) are selling for “just $160-225″ which is just about double the original face value – surprisingly low on the part of resellers…
Not that I have $200 for Kanye heheh. Oh true, Rihanna is the opening act.. umm, well, for her….

04 May 08 Mose Persico visits Malhi Sweets indian resto on Jarry in Park Extension
Well, after a lovely meal at Allo Inde on Stanley Street last night (spared the heartbreaking Habs loss to Philly) which included Chicken Bhuna, Balti Lamb, Eggplant Bhaji and more, I am just relaxing and watching Entertainment Spotlight… and Mose Persico and Orla Johannes are covering an interesting Indian resto in Park Extension on Jarry St. at the corner of Wiseman.
Malhi Sweets – so busy that the owner didn’t have time to meet with Mose … similar to Pushap, it began out as a sweet shop, but now Mr. Malhi focuses on full meals, including thali meals.
Note to web designer of malhisweets.ca – congrats on your PageRank 3, but kill the music that plays when opening the website… it’s very 1998.
They have a Tandoor, which on the show they refer to as a charcoal oven…
When asked by Mose if it was spicy, the response was “no, not spicy.” Too bad. 
‘nuff said – congrats Mose – I’ll be checking out Malhi Sweets and Sucrerie, but for the lamb curry!

15 Apr 08 ScotiaBank Scene contest for airfare, hotel and front row seats to Kanye West, Rihanna
If you, like myself, missed out on the Kanye West pre-sale opportunities for his Canadian concert tour, then you may be interested in joining the ScotiaBank Scene program. It’s a free loyalty program to drive viewers to their Scotia Cinemas. I signed up initially because my favorite theatre in Montreal is the Paramount… ok, the former Paramount. Awesome screens, seats, real Lactantia butter on popcorn … just overall a cool cinema. Sure, it’s not the venerable Imperial Theatre over on Bleury Street, but alas….

- Roundtrip Economy Air Travel for you and a friend
- 2 nights hotel accommodation
All this for only 100 SCENE points per entry! Be sure to enter before the contest closes. If you’re not a SCENE member, make sure you join the program and enter the contest today!

13 Apr 08 Mose Persico visits and reviews La Griglia D’Oro in Lasalle
So it’s more one of his plugs and visits more than any sort of critical review….
Is it just me or does Mose Persico really have a penchant for specifically reviewing Italian restaurants on his Sunday night entertainment, style and fashion show….
I must admit that I am somewhat hooked on watching him since it follows the 6pm CTV local news and is on at 6:30pm – in time to squeeze in before 60 minutes or, in tonights case, game 3 of the Habs vs. Boston. OK, so Orla is a tasty side dish on the show
This week he interviewed Tony at La Griglia D’Oro… Mose was wearing a nice (and bright!) red shirt and had a nice run through the kitchen with Chef Tony and owner Joey.

06 Apr 08 from my cold, dead hands .. RIP Charlton Heston (despite the attitude)
Well.. Charlton Heston was one of those iconic figures that quickly managed to fall from my graces.. so to speak, when he came out with his stance on gun control. His infamous “from my cold, dead hands” speech with regards to his 2nd amendment right to bear arms and unabashed zeal for the NRA really overshadowed any respect I had for his illustrious acting career.
That being said, while I may not believe in the blind acceptance of a right to bear arms, I most certainly believe in the First Amendment … so
Rest in Peace, Mr. Heston.
