output: Oh, concerts. I feel like there was a point in time when they weren't so terrible to go to. I've been to Extreme Thing before a few years back, so I was expecting something similar to that this year - essentially, like Warped Tour with a decent atmosphere and plenty of space for attendees and stages. How times change. The event is a steal at $20 for a ticket and free parking for an all-day concert fest jam-packed with rad rock/alternative/metal bands. That's kind of where the awesome stops. Not only is it overcrowded now but the old person in me may be starting to creep out - concert "kids" are just douchey these days. They have zero consideration for anyone as they just push or walk without looking because they're too busy browsing/posting on Facebook/Instagram. And do you really need to post a status every couple of minutes on the band you're watching literally 20 feet in front of you? Oh, and record EVERY. SINGLE. SONG? Get over yourselves. I am trying to watch a concert that doesn't involve viewing it through your crappy iPhone. I can't even drown myself in booze as there is no alcohol allowed at the event. Aside from a horrible scene, the food is mediocre at best with no place to really sit and the vendors this year compared to a few years ago were just bad with nothing of interest. The stages were significantly smaller, too - they put Taking Back Sunday on a stage that's probably half to three-fourths the size of House of Blues' stage. Which, by the way, was supposed to be Extreme Thing's "main stage." Yeah, no. It really wasn't. Had it not been for one of my favorite bands from my avid concert-going years, Finch, I probably wouldn't have bothered this year. I'd rather just pay more and see them somewhere with booze. Lots of booze. And no little 19 year olds posting on Facebook how omgdope the band is.

output: Years ago I spent 4 days in Napoli, Italy. The little pizza restaurant next to my hotel made the BEST thin crust pizza I ever tasted. Years later I end up in Montreal, and heard there were TWO restaurants that did very good wood-fire-Napoli -style Pizza. Bottega and Magpie. I tried both, and found Bottega to be the best. The service was prompt and efficient. I did not have a reservation, but was seated, with the advisory that I had about 40 minutes. I ordered the Margherita pizza - which was quickly delivered. The crust was perfection - the sauce -simple and slightly sweet - not too acidic. the taste of the Basil came through perfectly balanced. The Wood Fire Oven is in the back of the restaurant - but visible and cool to watch. The vibe of the restaurant is modern, active and a bit on the noisy side. It's full always - and a bit loud with a lot of conversation, but it was bearable. I tried Magpie - but the service was not great, while the crust was good - I prefer that of Bottega. My Go-to Napoli style pizza in Montreal is now Bottega! Bravo! Value for Money - $$$ out of $$$$$. A bit on the pricey side (about same as Magpie) .

Had a bottle of wine with my wife before the theatre. The atmosphere was great and the staff was friendly. Didn't have any food though.
