Freak By Night

Costa Rica!

They don't even have an army.

Hey Ollie, hope you had a good one!

Do you still have that Kiss T-shirt?

Aha! I see you are coming with us traveler.

We will be at the "Stoned Philips" pre-show "Q" at 3 p.m. or so, then we have to meet folks at will call at 5:30 .

Welcome aboard! I did meet you once before here in Ottawa.

Bourbon Street is nice, and I could walk there from my house, but it's actually pretty small for the size of crowd The Slip would attract.

It would be awesome to turn Zaphod's into a jamband friendly club! They did after all have moe. there about 10 years ago.

I'm not a big fan of the Rainbow - I've had some great times there and have seen some fantastic bands, but when it gets crowded, it's downright claustrophic and hard to move around.

My 2 cents:

A show like this has got to be at Babylon, Mavericks, or Barrymore's.

Does Mavericks have their leaky ceiling fixed yet?

Zaphods would be no good - not a jamband-friendly venue.

Tuscons is too far away.

The Bayou? too small.

Don't even get me started about The Rainbow.

That's a confusing message... when is/was the first week of the tour? Was it back in July, or are they saying the fist week of the tour starts tonight? Hmmmmmm

I've been checking out maddox for years. Hilarious!

Ha Ha! I was right all along.

I thought it was pretty funny, your post and all the responses.

The extra S is a typo?

so you mean making people feel bad makes his feet feel better?

No, I mean his post was designed to generate the kind of response that it did. I doubt he was even at the show, or, if he was, he did not leave.

dimafleck has got to be joking. in old newsgroup parlance, he's "trolling".

I'm thinking of having a wee pre-party. If not, I'll be at the Wheat Sheaf.

I'm up for meetin at the good old Wheat Sheaf. I should be the 3-4 pm (depending on the traffic from Ottawa).

The "Red-Dot Meeting Spot" sounds good. See you there. If anyone remembers, let's start a new thread on Monday to remind people.

The Allman's are going to pack that mother. I can't see the lawns being closed.

If I may paraphrase: You can't keep Allman Brothers fans off the grass.

In like Flynn.

Maybe they should have hired Dave Semenko as an assistant coach! That would be awesome.

i disagree 100%. whether or not he'll be a great coach remains to be seen... it's still early, real early... like august 8th.

Don't get me wrong... I'm as much of Gretzky fan as anyone else. I'd love to see him succeed as a coach. They did hire good assistant coaches who will help Wayne in a big way.

and what i recall from gretzky's shot at inspiration from 2002 olympics, is that we won the gold. i guess it worked.

Canada winning the gold medal had more to do with Tommy Salo giving up a soft goal against Belarus than with Gretzy's attempt to channel Phil Esposito. (Plus, Canada had an awesome team that really found its game by the medal round.)

On another topic - I'm still bitter that the Winnipeg Jets had to move to the friggin' desert. Had the current CBA been in place back then, it probably wouldn't have happenned.

Veteran forward Mike Grier has accepted a one-year, $1.4-million US qualifying offer from the Buffalo Sabres, the NHL club announced Monday

I wonder if they'll let him golf at that country club in Buffalo?

My opinion is it's totally a publicity move to try and sell tickets in Phoenix.

You're totally right.

They'd sell even more tickets if they moved back to Winnipeg!

Will Wayne Gretzky be announced as the head coach for the Pheonix Coyotes today? Rumours are swirling....

This will be announced this afternoon.

Just my opinion, but I think he's not a good choice for coach. He's too much of a nice guy. Also, his lip tends to quiver when he gets upset (recall his attempt to be inspirational during the 2002 Olympics) and it looks like he's going to cry. This won't inspire his team.

No worries Redd. I'm sure most of us have been fooled be e-mail hoaxes before! I know I have.

According to NASA, this is a hoax.

Mars did appear larger than normal in August of 2003. Perhaps a 2-year old e-mail is making the rounds again.

Hows my bass amp sounding now?

I tried it last night and it's fine!

Thanks a lot Hux, Ollie, Howler and all the rest from the board who attended last night! We had a great time and really enjoyed the night of music from all of the other performers too. Now to get outside on the beautiful sunny afternoon!
