I'm moving from Edmonton to Ottawa and if I can make it out of Winnipeg without my car being stolen like last time, I'll be pleased.

For the, uh, "atmosphere". <br /><br />Haven't been in a while, but Kings Head Pub in the Exchange district used to be cool. <br /><br />If Goldeyes in town, spend $10 on a ticket and drink beers at the ballpark. Highly recommended.<br /><br />I don't even know what goes on at the Forks these days. Maybe patio at Muddy Waters or something.<br /><br />There's a huge new sports bar opened up on Portage across from MTS Centre. Never been, though.<br /><br />Really, I'm lame. My cool pass expired about four years ago.

Now that Passengers "soundtrack" deserves to be mocked.<br /><br />I've always thought, can you imagine the kind of crap that Bono would release if he went solo? Frank Black times ten I tell you (I'm aware that Mr. Black has done some great stuff, but does anyone need to put out this many records).<br /><br />Ack, can you recommend a place to drink in the Peg on an upcoming Sunday and Monday night?
