Jen asked me if I am interested in going to the live taping of Q<\/a>. Well, of course I would love to! I’ve had fun at the live taping of the Debaters a few years ago and I really enjoyed taping of the geography quiz show I went to to cheer on a friend way back in middle school, so why not? I re-read Jen’s message and realized that the tickets were $30 bucks. I though it was a bit high for taping of a mid day radio show but I had already told Jen I would go and I was a bit excited about it so I decided to stick with it. On the way there Jen was a little bit worried about not getting good seats so she dropped me off at the door and went to find parking. It was a good thing she did this because even though we were almost an hour early, there was a line going all the way around the building. I wondered at the crowds and Jen told me that Blue Rodeo was one of the guests. I shrugged and attributed the popularity of the event to this important Canadian band. It was only after the show started that I realized that people were not there to see Blue Rodeo, they were there to see Jian Ghomeshi. I was there to see Jian as well but it had never occurred to me that he is so beloved and that he has reached the status of a Canadian icon. Go Jian! <\/p>\n

I had a blast at the show, I even bought the album of one of the artists (Austra) that played. I am hoping to give it a good listen over the next couple of weeks and write a review (though saying that I will pretty much guarantees that I will not).<\/p>\n

Now if I could only go to a live taping of Tempo or Shift…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
