Were you serious?

Yes and no. I'd love to make a journey to Ottawa and see friends, plus she's originally from Montreal and keeps talking how we should go there this summer. Dates of the fest fit the time frame and since she listens to a lot of those bands, and if into it, then sure why not. Musically we're not in the same boat though.

I hear they just added DSO.  

Now who's going?

 Considering I won't drive 35 mins east to see them, that wouldn't sweeten the deal. But as mentioned, if Ana is actually into checking this out, I'd go. Otherwise, it'll be two weeks in Varennes.

I'm listening to these guys (and have a 2-day ticket for the July 20/21 Toronto shows)

 

And going out to see The Lizards tomorrow night.

I love a good cover band (but, that's no surprise).

I'll pass on Nostaligia Fest though..haha

So I told the gal I'm seeing I wanted to go to Ottawa for this. First question I was asked: "is there a night ranger cover playing? I started to laugh, she didn't. I'm really not sure if she's serious.

 

Well it's official: I'm oblivious to francophone sarcasm.

Great company. Highlights for me were the opening songs (Cold Rain, Mama Tried, TLEO)... and then Weather Report Suite into Eyes, China Doll, China Cat (which they had teased a couple times). Not bad for a Tuesday night ;)

I'm guessing that this will flop but as time turns elastic I continually find evidence that proves that I know nothing about the music business.  Maybe this festival will prove me right about being wrong, but I doubt it.

They’re doing it again this year.
