'Liam's List' For June 9, 2006
Welcome fair-minded, footy, movie seekers,
This weekend is filled with everything worldy surrounding soccer/football, new movie releases, and street fairs!
Get out there and enjoy the sunshine whether at the biggest rock show ever or smelling the incense on an infamous street of the swinging 60's.
If the sun doesn't fit into your plans this weekend, then embrace the massive craze that is
The World Cup. One more alternative is a date at the movies with the stars of Pixar's new turbo charged annimated film - "Cars".
Cheers!
-Liam
