Serving up the Hits

They played Meat Loaf at the Spring Classic.  For real.  Not one of his big hits, either.  Good Girls Go To Heaven (Bad Girls Go Everywhere).  I sat up and looked around to see if anyone else was like, "Wow."  I realize it may have been me and whoever picked the playlist that dug Mr. Loaf, but I was totally excited.  So to that whoever, I salute you. 

Every time the archers at the Ontario Spring Classic strode up the many-more-metres-than-I-shoot to score and collect, crazy dramatic big rock tunes blared out of the speakers and I thought, "Gee, they're taking the 'Classic' in the name and totally running with it.."  Honestly, I was disarmed to hear this level of old rocky rock unaccompanied by big hair and a cloud of smoke.  And come on:  for Def Leppard's Love Bites, I was dying for the throng of archers to campily, vampily crawl upfield.  Although, I realize that's no way to - ahem - "keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars."

Of course, it's fitting because it the experience was like scanning a crowd for the Ontario (and Quebec) archery version of rockstars.  My pals and I caught glimpses of Crispin Duenas, Hamilton Nguyen, Daniel Ng, Anne Kwok, Brandon Xuereb and there were surely lots more recognizable faces I didn't spot, since there were just a lot of participants.

Back to the mystery DJ:  I hope you're reading this because I have a request for next time.  I admit I wasn't there for the whole thing, and maybe you did this anyway but I really think I have the perfect first song.  The same one that starts Apocalypse Now.  You know the one.  The End.

    Tara Vaughan lives with Rob Cruise and their pooches, Artemis and Louis in the East end of Toronto.  They sort of dabbled in archery for a long time but actually got equipment a couple of years ago.  Tara's loving it and Toronto and - Hey, look!  She has a blog about them.
