Also note that the Sadies show is an early one (over at 11:30) Gonna be a good one!

you should go, yes. might be a tough ticket though, that seems like a small venue for them

Fleet week is coming up

new apostle of hustle has leaked if you know where to look for it... Rural Alberta Advantage are confirmed for Hillside. (And are a wonderful band, confirmed) Patrick Watson has a new album and is touring, that's a good bet I'd say. Same goes for Gentleman Reg.

You all missed a stunning show last night. It was packed with awesome people, beer was cheap and plentiful, sound was great, venue was so comfortable, musicians were fantastic.... Photos here The Mayfair is an amazing space for a show, I hope they book music nights once a month or so. Kelp weekend continues tonight at the Elmdale!

nice sunny saturday in the forecast, why not go outside and golf for real?

I'll bite... what's 'the campsite rule'?

Judging solely on the non-response to this thread I am thinking that not many will be attending any of these shows. But in case you like seeing and supporting amazing local (and not-so-local) talent, here's a reminder that Kelp 15 begins tonight at the Mayfair.

i'm not telling you anything definitive or trying to sell you anything, i'm just suggesting that you check the website - nobody on this board knows any better than the official website at the moment. why not email them directly? Velvet's post and Big Wooly Mammoth's post seem to answer your questions fairly well from just looking at the site map.

Feel free to look at the Bluesfest website. Although yes, it would make more sense to have the whole site as one site.

There are no wristbands this year, it's not a rumour.

linkage? it was incredibly hard to find

Ashes of American Flags is available on a bittorrent site near you!

I'm interested Green Day is at Scotiabank Place, so scratch them from the Bluesfest wishlist / rumours / whathaveyou

Hope all the Ottawa folk can make it out and support the fine institution that is Kelp Records. There are plenty of events happening this weekend - something for everyone's tastes, time, and budget.

BTW- Awesome poster art by new BFF Douglas Wilkinson. - Jim Bryson is flying back from his new job as Tragically Hip keyboardman (wha?!?- look: http://tinyurl.com/cxnofj) to play a duo set with Jake Bryce as this show will serve as THE LAUNCH for his new live album "Live at First Baptist Church" (more on this below). The Acorn fly to the UK the day after this rare Ottawa show to continue their British quest for perfect teeth. Anders Parker (a hero of mine in his Varnaline/Space Needle days) is playing his first show ever in Ottawa. The Mayfair Theatre has cozy seats and sounds lovely inside. This is going to be legend! - We are now offering the "Mayfair/Hoffenheimer" package for $25 (http://www.kelprecords.com/kelp15) to celebrate the reissue of Hoffenheimer's "Frieren." Years before the Acorn, there was also a quiet, snowy, sullen recording session in early 2001 at Greenfield Main that Rolf (Klaus Heimer) and Jon B. (Gustav Hoffen) did afterhours when the roommates were asleep. The resulting recordings were available on very limited handmade CD-Rs and eventually sold out. These sessions were recently remastered by Jarrett Bartlett and are now again available in MP3 format through kelprecords.com. Read the 2001 Exclaim review of "Frieren" here: http:tinyurl.com/cmxhaw - Daniel Lohnes is launching his new WIP gallery space with the KELP 15 Art Show on Friday May 1 at 6pm. This early evening shindig will be a look back at Kelp-related poster/album art, photographs, merchandise and other souvenirs of days gone by. Some items will be for sale, including limited edition prints of the great poster for KELP 15 done by Douglas Wilkinson/Daniel Lohnes. Forget supper- the art show will feature charcuterie action from the folks at Murray Street, Art-is-in breadage and some fine Beau's. Andrew Vincent will play a solo set, as will Piet Masone (Turkus). Only idiots would miss this awesomeness. - This year's charity is The Ride to Conquer Cancer. More specifically, our pals Liz McDermott and Matt Rose are part of a biking squad called Diff'rent Spokes that are riding from Toronto to Niagara Falls in June in a quest to raise over $37k towards cancer research. Liz and Matt met with me a month ago with the most innovative Kelp charity idea yet: they have pledged to show up to EVERY event during the weekend with a stationary bike and ride during the shows! They personally guaranteed me that someone would ALWAYS be on the bike, whether it was Liz, Matt, or someone else paying for some bike time. The bike will ride nonstop! Please support this great cause and watch them sweat to the rock. Visit Team Diff'rent Strokes site: http://tinyurl.com/cch9vc - Yes, Vardy is returning in his role as meatman with pulled pork sandwiches on Saturday afternoon at the Carleton Tavern. Starve thyselves! - Geoff Brown is going to take Friday night into oblivion at Raw Sugar, DJing after 1am. There will be special guests. Have a Red Bull and stay up with us.

You can listen to the show again here Really good picture set 1 Really good picture set 2 Parts of the show will be released on an upcoming radio 3 sessions podcast

Duh. On 9 November 1997, during a league game with Dundee United, Windass contrived to be shown three red cards - once for foul play (having previously been booked); another for verbally abusing the referee; and a third for taking out his frustration on a corner flag as he left the field - for which he received a six match ban. He also mentioned "Habs suck."

Pretty sure Eric meant this coming Friday, the day before you stand in line to get tickets for Hillside.

so your company has an auction where a prize is to drive a few laps at fiorano? or you host an auction at fiorano? i imagine people pay a lot to drive that track...
