I thought Tool being one of the greatest rock acts this side of the Universe was pretty common knowledge. So far I've only met 3 people who actually know who they are so therefore people think I'm mad coming all the way to Saskatoon for some band they've never heard of. However, conveniently the brother of one of the girls I'm staying with is coming up with a couple of friends to go so I have some Tool buddies. Horray.
So I made it to Saskatoon in one piece a couple of days ago and lucky me made it in time for the first snowfall of the season. It may have only been 2cm but it was still pretty damn exciting for me. So far I've just been hanging out with my Couchsurfing Hosts shopping, putting up the Christmas tree and attending friend's parties. But tomorrow when the rest of Saskatoon comes back to life and everyone goes off to their uni classes I'm going to venture Downtown.
I guess the only real difference to me at the moment (other than the snow) is getting hit up to speak in my "awesome" accent and get scoffed at in jest when I pronounce things funny or called things by Australian names. So I've spent all this money to see snow and be a couple of Canadians' novelty act. Yeay!

I just discovered that I apparently have a blogger account, who would have thought?
Sounds like you've found yourself some pretty cool couch hosts :) Have people been making you say "throw another shrimp on the barbie mate!"? If tv hasn't lied to me, that seems to be the quintessential catchphrase for aussies overseas.
Keep having fun!
PS. I'm so jealous you're going to have a white christmas! I think that could even put me in the christmas spirit.
