crystal castles tickets!
so, my friend is selling two tickets for the crystal castles show at the sound academy tomorrow night in toronto.

she originally paid $75 for both (service charges are a bitch) and is hoping to get $60 but it might be negotiable.
if you're interested you can contact her at:

random_apathy@hotmail.com

she lives in peterborough so i'm sure it will be no problem meeting you anywhere in the general area!

Christmas Charity
I'm looking for some info - hopefully one of you can help me! Last year I heard (too late) about a program running in Peterborough at Christmas where you could essentially adopt a family. The details I remember are that you got details about a specific family and then filled a re-usable shopping bag (or equivalent) with gift items for that family. Does this sound familiar to anyone and if so can you point me to a link or phone # to get involved with this? I'm pretty sure I remember reading about it on a website somewhere last year, but I can't seem to find it this year.

Thanks!!

Oh, hi there.

Local author here, looking to shamelessly plug my book. I sure hope people are reading this, and that those people will very much want to read a book by a Peterburian, which is set in a fictionalized version of Peterborough, and which involves zombies.

Peterborough! Zombies!

You can buy it here:
http://www.amazon.ca/Lies-End-World-Phil-Wolters/dp/1617060364/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1284081406&sr=1-1

Or see a sweet interview with me on the subject here:

Tell your friends and neighbours! You know you want to!

Bus service
Hi everyone!
I'm going to live in Peterborough from Sept-Feb as I'm getting my teaching degree at Trent. I can't take my car so I'm wondering what the bus service is like over there. I live in Toronto and am pretty used to bus service every 5 minutes from my house so I realize this will be a change!

I've checked the website for the Trent express and Route 1 and they come every 20 minutes. That's cool if I'm starting from a terminal, but I'm going to be starting from Hilliard Street so I'm wondering if anyone lives around that area and can tell me when I should be expecting bus service there for both the Trent express and Route 1. I figure it won't be at times like 8AM, 8:20AM, etc. as shown on the website, but earlier/later.

Also what in the world is around the Hilliard area in terms of food? There's Joanne's Health and Beauty store, but is there anything else as well?

Help a newbie out. :)

looking for a 1 br/bachelor in downtown ptbo, sep 1st
hey peterborough,

i'm moving back into town for a year to finally finish my degree at trent. i'm seeking a reasonable ($600 max) 1 bedroom (or large bachelor) apartment for september 1st, though cheaper would be AWESOME. i feel like this is definitely a word-of-mouth kind of town for apartment hunting so if anyone has heard anything, that'd be ace.

ideally:

- lots of sunlight
- laundry on site
- close to the trent express bus route (but i'm pretty flex with having to hoof it a bit)

thanks!

I'm looking into changing my internet provider since cogeco is quite pricey. Does anyone know of any internet providers that do not have a cap on their usage? I've looked at nexicom but was told that the fastest they can offer is 680kbps... Thanks for any help with this!

I have a "spend $100, get $50 off" coupon for Addition Elle that I would like to see go to someone who would use it. The only problem? It expires tomorrow. If there are any takers, that would be awesome and I'll be happy for you to pick it up from me.

Beavermead Park Camping
Does anyone know if the camping at Beavermead Park is going to be open this year? I heard rumours in the fall that the camping would be closing, then recently I heard that it would be running again this summer. Anyone know what the real story is?

World's Best Grandpa mug/shirt/something??
Where can I find a World's Best Grandpa product of some kind? It's my Dad's birthday this weekend and we'd like to give him a little something from our son but haven't found anything anywhere we've looked. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I knew it'd be so hard to find I would have ordered it online but I think that option is out now for timing!

Ride from Ottawa to Peterborough on July 30
I'm driving from Ottawa to Peterborough on Thursday, July 30, and I have room for an extra passenger. I am asking for $15 in gas money.

I plan to leave town around 10am, but I could leave a bit later. I can pick you up downtown, or anywhere west of downtown that's easy to get to from the Queensway.

Send me a private message if you're interested.

Gentleman and rats seek ride to Toronto.
Hello,
I'm looking for a ride to Toronto on either Dec. 21st or 22nd. I can't take the Greyhound because I need to travel with my two pet rats* and Greyhound has a strict no-pets policy. If anyone is willing to take us, I'd be happy to help pay gas, get you a drink, give you a hug, anything you like.

* Note: They have a travel cage, are not stinky, and I presume travel well.
