Boom Boom Boom...

lets go back to my room... hey girls (and Kenny) it's "Boom DesJardins", yes, that's his name and how adorable is this guitar-toting Canadian! Boom is Quebec City's favorite alternative pop rock singer right now, attracting throngs of face-piercing, purple-haired, skateboarding masses. I just returned from Quebec City's 38th Annual Music Festival, 10 days of world, rock, folk and classical by hundreds of foreign performers. Unlike concerts in the US, this was a music mind-trip minus the marijuana. France's Jamait, the UK's Porcupine Tree, and this state's New York Dolls playing in 3 venues surrounding Canada's oldest city. Quebec City is like going to Europe without the jetlag - 16th century stone buildings, horse drawn caleches and the most photographed hotel ever, the Chateau Frontenac, all protected by 2 ancient surrounding walls. GoNomad will be posting an article on the trip, as soon as I write it, so be looking for it.
