bradm Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I know a lot of Ottawa folk are going to Kingston to see Burt Neilson Band, but if anybody is staying in town (as I am) and wants to come out tonight (Friday, March 24), Mr. Something Something is playing at The Bayou. A fun night of afro-beat, and a chance to check out the recently revamped club, should make for a good night. Anybody else interested?Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattm Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Brad, you are a life saver. I was going to go to the bayou tomorrow night for MSS (yeah, terrible memory and organizational skills) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Boy 2.0 Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 does my name have to end with an 'm' in order to get in on this lovefestm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattm Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 does my name have to end with an 'm' in order to get in on this lovefestm?[color:purple]Of course it does, don't be silly. Your night will have to include at least one Something though (preferably two Somethings prefixed with a Mr).It is kinda funny though with the m's. I use mattm for everything 'cause it's my name.Is anyone else on here going to the show tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted March 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 ISTR Calamity Jane and Dr_Evil_Mouse saying they were coming, as it's CJ's birthday this weekend, I think.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartamophone Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I've been looking for something to do with some out-of-town guests tonight, and this might be just the thing. Brad and Matt, I'll be sure and seek y'all out. Are you taping, Brad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted March 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Are you taping, Brad?Yup. I'm planning on getting there around 9:00pm to get set up. I don't think there's an opening act, and Mr.SS often does three-set shows in Ottawa (at least, when they've played at The Rainbow), with the first set starting between 10:00pm and 10:30pm.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted March 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Thanks for coming out, everybody, it was cool to hook up with you all (and finally meet you, doug).The revamped Bayou is a lot better now. The sound booth, which was in the middle of the floor, is now off to the side, which opens up the middle of a bar a lot. The stage has also been reoriented a bit, so that it cuts across the corner, with a kind of arc to the front of the stage. The corridor to the bathrooms also seems more open, and has a couple of pool tables.The new sound system is pretty good (better than what it was), and is a lot more "integrated" (the old system seemed to be a real hodgepodge of stuff put togehter arbitrarily, without a full design to it).And the band was hot last night. There was a good crowd there early on, and Mr.SS did three sets. The dance floor had people on it from the git-go, but there was still enough breathing room to let loose and enjoy yourself. There were a couple of new tunes, and one (from the first record) I hadn't heard in a long time.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
