"It was CMJ (Music Marathon) last week. I went to see a couple of shows. On Wednesday I went to the M for Montreal (music festival in Montreal) event and saw a couple of bands from Montreal. This is a band called Duchess Says. I met the keyboard player Ismael when I went to Montreal last year. They always have crazy gig and it's super fun! The singer went behind the bar and was drinking while singing! (I will upload videos on my blog soon!)"

"Saturday, I went to Midnight Juggernauts gig. I really love them so I was super excited to see their gig. It was free party so they didn't really play many songs but I enjoyed it. I uploaded some video on my blog so you can check them out."

"I ran into my friend Ferdi at the show. I hadn't seen him for 4 years. He said he lives in Paris now and he is in the band called Dan Black and they played earlier. Ferdi is really sweet guy so I was happy to see him again."
