Final Fuse Taping

[bouche]

The last I heard, Fuse was getting so popular that they had to start up a "lottery" in order for people to get tickets. However...Fuse is shutting down? Why?

Hello Fuse fans,

We hope you're having a great summer. As you probably have heard, Fuse

is winding down for good (our final broadcast date is now September

20th) and we've got just one last taping to go. And--yup--you're all

invited.

On Tuesday, August 19th at 7pm in Ottawa, we're welcoming to Studio 40

the bright indie-pop of Toronto's Kat Burns & The Forest City Lovers,

and a vocal folk trio, Ottawa's own Finest Kind. It's a special episode,

as there are familial connections among the unlikely Fusers that we'll

explore throughout the show.

If you'd like to come hear the music and say goodbye to Fuse, please do

not reply to this email. Rather, head on over to

http://www.cbc.ca/fuse/tickets.html and fill out the form to request

your spot. We're giving away the tickets on a random-draw basis, and

we'll be drawing the names on August 8th. We'll contact the winners

only--you'll hear from us by August 12th if you've secured yourself a

spot. Due to high demand, we ask that you please only request a ticket

if you're sure you can come. We do not maintain a waiting list for

cancellations.

If you can't make it in person, be sure to tune into the final four

episodes of Fuse from August 30th - September 20th (well, we hope you'll

listen to our fabulous summer repeats throughout this month as well, but

make a special effort to tune into our extra-fabulous, all-new final

shows!).

Here is the updated broadcast schedule for Fuse. We don't have to tell

you that we broadcast at 3:05PM on Saturdays, right?

Threat From Outer Space

Gad, I haven't heard of (let alone heard) these guys since mid-2002, when they played Babylon with ferriswheeler.

I heard too many people with tickets weren't showing up.

I actually ran into one of those guys at Evolve one year. He was backstage mooching booze, just like I was!

That sucks it's shutting down.
