So, things to do, places to eat, things to see etc in Burlington VT. Any suggestions besides Magic Hat brewery?

Thank you!

(for the most part, not interested in Phish nostalgia)

There's lots of other stuff going on too. Juno Cup hockey game, album art expo, indie label showcase, etc etc.

Probably not to everyone's liking, and not all that interesting to me except for a few acts, but check out this stacked lineup for the Six Shooter showcase at Mavericks on Friday:

Our performers, in order of appearance, are:

The Good Lovelies

The Beauties

Oh Susanna

Bazil Donovan

NQ Arbuckle

Wayne Petti

Jenn Grant + Daniel Ledwell

Dustin Bental + Kendel Carson

Devin Cuddy

Luke Doucet

Glenn Milchem

Hey, I'm sure nobody cares about the Junos here in Ottawa, but there are a lot of good shows going on this weekend.

Full lineup here: http://junoawards.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/JUNOfest-Grid-March-21-2012.pdf

I'm out of town but if I was here there is a lot of choice and lots of variety.

That poster is too hard to read on the iPhone but I saw Gaz Coombes right at the top there, I wouldn't miss that. He was the singer-writer from Supergrass and his new solo disc is very solid.

Yeah I gotta call Evenko about that. They sent me PDF e-tickets so I'm not too sure what's going on.

They were all good ones from WASTE. They only offered floors plus the first two seated sections on both sides. I'm selling my tickets in the top deck.

To everyone who had issues with the w.a.s.t.e. presale: check your credit card statements. Despite having no confirmation page open when attempting to buy tickets and receiving no confirmation email, the tickets were charged to my card. When I contacted the company (safepayzone) they told me my order was in fact successful and sent along the confirmation email I should have received.

That said, I have 2 Montreal tickets for sale at face.

Low Roller, maybe you have 11 pairs....

Chris Phillips (Senators) gets into the beer business in Ottawa

Well, interesting anyways.

Oh and it syncs instantly over the air, to all devices and from all devices.

I have my google calendar synced to my iPhone calendar and iCal on my Mac. It's simple to set up. Is that what you were talking about Sloth, or we're you referring to an Outlook calendar?

They announced a separate date on twitter... Salle Wilfred-Pelletier I think?

I thought they were from Windsor?

He used to go by the name Manitoba if that jogs your memory at all...

I have terrible seats from the public on-sale. If anyone has extras that are not terrible, please think of me. PLEASE.

Well I fucked that up again. Didn't read the part about throwing tickets back more than twice. Dammit. Will have to try again tomorrow, unless anyone has 2 extra floor tix for Montreal.

The 'waiting room' system was pretty good, I thought.

Um, the Tom Petty rumour-starting is my job, Pad

When I get tickets in my basket I expect to be able to pay for them.

Oh and thanks for putting them on sale at 10:27.

Fuck that presale. Had tix 3 times and no transactions were successful.

Messi had a decent game.

Are we talking veggie pattys or paddys here?

The Mill St Vanilla Porter is my new favourite. Too bad it can't be distributed and only served at the bar. (It's nitrogen based so can't go in bottles and they don't have a widget system for cans).

Eastern Canada dates:

June 15 - Montreal - Bell Centre (indoors? WTF?)

June 16 - Toronto - Downsview Park

Caribou opening. Possibly others.

Was it one of the people on here who yelled out for Alsoa?

If so, I laughed.
