Freak By Night

Hope your birthday celebrations were the best ever DB 2.0!

I had just picked up Dave C. and was stuck in an Ottawa Thursday afternoon traffic jam when we got the word. I was thinking it was a good thing we hadn't even left town yet, but it sounds like we missed out on a lot of fun! See y'all in Albany, and possibly Rosemont.

I'll be there! Have fun and stay dry everyone.

For the first time in many years I went to the bluesfest every night! It was all pretty good. Highlights for me were DMB, Beck, Sturgill, War on Drugs, Foo Fighters. Fun times!

My brother is taking the train from Toronto specifically to see the Eat a Peach set at the Bluesfest. He's going to be thrilled about the after-party at the 27 club!

Give the hippies a break - they've yet to completely master time travel.

Who will I see in Albany? Just ordered my tickets. I actually got pretty decent seats through ticketbastard. Had to try several times but it finally came through.

GDPR - TLDR

Check out the FAQ on that page. It doesn't include what must certainly be the most frequently asked question: "Why?"

I know their target demographic - music fans who think they are "serious" music fans, but really are not. And that demographic just isn't that big in this city. I can't see this festival being very successful.

Confederation Park will be closed because of major sewer construction going on underneath it. https://ottawa.ca/en/node/1029811 Suck up the juice, indeed!

Well ticketmaster has sunk to a new low. $20 extra for an aisle seat in the lower levels.

Anyone heading to this Outlaw Music Festival with the likes of TTB, Willie Nelson, Sturgill Simpson? In Toronto Sunday September 9th, tix on sale today. I'm in! Outlaw Music Festival

Too bad this thing always conflicts with the Jazzfest. But you can't argue with FREE!

Thank Mike.

Not too shabby!

Little Feat and Michael "How ya feelin'?" Franti added to the lineup today. Umph was added a few weeks ago. Really looking forward to this one!

I got through at 12:00:01 and GC tix were "unavailable". Tried several times, eventually I was able to select 1, but it failed to load into my cart. I guess I shouldn't have been on here telling everyone how awesome it is! GA for me too. See you all there. This is going to be fun fun fun!

I doubt they'd be playing at the same time. If so, it would be a serious programming blunder.

I did the glen close camping last time and it was worth every penny for the flush toilets and better showers. It can really eliminate a lot of walking, however, as my friends were in the regular camping areas, I ended up walking great distances all weekend anyway. (Sensible shoes are a must) Other considerations are more shade trees and generally quieter at night. All that said, these passes sell out quickly, I'll get regular camping passes if I can't get the glen close.

See y'all there! http://curveball.phish.com/

Ha Ha, we've hi-jacked the Paul Simon thread into a Phish thread. I'll get in touch with you when I figure out what I'm gonna do.

I bought a pass for the whole thing this year. First time I've done that since 2013.

By the time I got through, all I could get were lawns so I didn't bother. I don't want to drive all that way to sit on the lawn (although I have done that before). Not this time. Fingers crossed for a Watkins Glen fest!
