Last year around this time we saw Jenn Grant in Fredericton at UNB. I know her from Halifax and we met through my friend Jason Burns drummer from Down With Butterfly the opening night of one of my shows. Jason and Jenn dated whether they are still dating I cant be sure, but he is a very tall guy and he is the first guy you see in her Dreamer video. I love her music, her voice is like a clean glass of water. Trevor is is basically my date on this one and he is like whatever chick show. so I mention "yeah and some guy Hayden is performing as well (I have no clue who Hayden is and I am like whatever some guy). Trevor is like "What, I have his Cds , I like his stuff, COOL" (i am misquoting terribly but whatever). Some website I saw mentioned admission is at the door and says 12bucks. cool.
So we go for dinner at Edmonton's best kept secret "Japanese Village" before the show
I am a picky sushi eater so here is my review. The teriyaki salmon was amazing and the tempura, the edamame was not freshly steamed nor hot and not enough salt. The dynamite rolls were great but a bit too big for bit size. The spicy tuna was a mush but tasted great. The seaweed salad was too fishy tasting. the price was reasonable but one roll cost $4 for 4 pieces and one small small scoop of green tea ice cream cost the same, so don't order the ice cream. It was a great place we will definatly come back but is is not in comparison to Sushi on Bloor in Toronto. where tea and miso soup are free and the ice cream is some time free.
After that we went to the concert and it was sold out before hand by ticket master, little advice don't trust websites. We were able to buy two tickets from people in line and price of the tickets cost $25 each. The concert was great and funny. I was in a church and the setting was beautiful dispite the uncomfortable seats. We got Haydens new CD In field & Town and it is really good.
