Bar Manager Has His Fingers Crossed For Glass Tiger Reunion

In what analysts are calling a bold move, UPEI Student Union Alcohol Dispensation Coordinator, Aaron Carr, has invested the entire Student Union entertainment budg- et for 2001 so the Barn could host what he believes will be the most exciting event of the year.

The long awaited reunion of Toronto rock group, Glass Tiger—known by their fans as GT— has them touring across Canada this year, and Carr has made sure that the band will stop to “rock out” at the UPEI Barn on their way across the the country.

Although the band has not had a hit since their album, Zhe Thin Red Line, released in 1986, Carr is confident that enough peo- ple will remember the band’s songs

to make this show memorable. Aaron has remained a fan of GT for the past fifteen years.

“IT still have Glass Tiger posters up in my bedroom, and I even own both of Allan Frew’s solo albums,” he said.

Despite the obvious security risks of hosting what will be such a well attended event, Carr believes the Campus Police are ready for the action, “we are bringing in extra staff just for the show and insisting that they stay sober at least until after the first set,’ he said.

The Student Union’s part- time General Manager, Stephen Lewis agrees that this show will be great. “Their music is guaranteed to make you jump up and down until your balls are a sweaty mess—if

Well, the new year is here and I would like to publicly apolo- gize for passing wind at the lieu- tenant governor’s mansion during the levies.

I have only two new year’s resolutions this year: cut down on eating jelly beans and kill George C. Scott. Since my diet consists of sweets and mint juleps, I won’t be giving up candies anytime soon.

Making promises and breaking them is what new year’s is all about. I remember during my salad days when a_ young Frenchman told me he was giving

up visits to the barber shop as his resolution.

This kind of lack of groom- ing was unheard of back in the Dirty Thirties — even among Frenchmen, but he continued to grow his mane despite protests from peers that he resembled Faye Wray (I actually thought he looked more like Faye’s giant monkey sweetheart, King Calypso).

Now I don’t know of any- body with as much dedication to stick to a new year’s resolution as this Frenchman, but a lot of good his perseverance did him!

At a fuddled New Year’s celebration an intoxicated shoe shine boy mistakenly seduced the Frenchman, and they’ve been fond of each other ever since.

Next time you try uphold your yearly oaths, be cautious of any drunken new year’s pledges that involve your mullets. So put that in your pipe and smoke it, Vidal Sassoon!

you have balls, tha is,’ said Lewis.

The inspi- ration for this show, according to Carr, arrived dur- ing a, marathon ses- sion of solataire. “T think I had been playing for six| straight hours| when someone said don’t forget to turn the computer ofi when we are gone, and I was instantly— reminded of the Glass Tiger song, Ancient. Evenings. It was a no-brainer from then on. When I heard they were touring I was so excited I almost left my chair.”

Tickets for the show will be on sale next week at Black Cat Music, House of Excellence, and The Cadre. Tickets are 42 dollars in advance and 65 dollars at the door. Honeymoon Suite will be
