I'm in!

Due to an untimely wipe of my entire iphone music catalog during an OS update (apparently I misunderstood syching with having my music in itunes?) and a concomitant hard drive failure I need to replenish my music supply. Any st music invites floating around the board?

Thanks,

Teksavvy rock!

Check em out, as long as the CRTC doesn't screw them with UBB they will be able to provide the best deal at the best price. They have great customer service and you can defeat the Bell throttle using MLPPP through Teksavvy DSL.

Go to CRTC to make your thoughts heard about net neutrality.

Porter air discount code is brisk20.

I just used it to fly out on Dec 29th and back on Jan 2nd and received a 20% discount. You can't beat this airline!

Enjoy!

I think I'll be taking public transit. The PATH train is about a 4 minute walk from my hotel. I'm hoping they have reasonable hours, I need to do some research on that.

You can get a four star in Jersey City for ~$160.00, looks like a short ride through the tunnel to Manhattan. Anyone have any experience making that commute?

FB.

Cool. Priceline is indicating steep prices for hotels around the Gardens, any secret spots out there?

Thanks,

I scored tickets for the 30th! I've never been to NYC and am thinking of flying in on Porter. Does anyone have advice for me on the best way to get downtown from Newark and where is a good place to stay around the gardens???

Thanks,

After careful consideration I have to say that even through my jamband/progressive rock influences, as a musician, my favourite show at the Ottawa Bluesfest was The Swell Season. I bailed on Rush against my instincts to see this show and I absolutely loved it. What great musicians, brilliant show!

I'm listening to their stuff right now and I am awed at the beauty...

FB

I completely agree with Northern Wish. Ever since I have been going to shows people complain non stop about the band no matter what they do (remember the 45 minute tweezers everyone was wining about, too experimental). These guys are playing as well now as they ever have. The music changes as you change.

I find their fan base fucking hilarious. People love to criticize and yet still come to the shows time and time again...?

And what the fuck is wrong with nostalgia anyways? It's a great feeling....

FB

Cool, thanks guys. More info: Phish played a cover of the song Watcher of the skies by Genesis off the album Foxtrot (1972) at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony for Genesis of which Trey was the presenter. They also played No reply at all. It was broadcast on the channel Fuse HD.

FB.

Whose got my heady full resolution HD copy of this performance? I noticed from youtube that it was broadcast on Fuse HD so I figure somebody must have taped it...?

Kanada Kev I'm looking at you...

I'm hoping this track makes the rotation on summer tour, hell I guess they may as well do Foxtrot for Halloween as well.

Thanks,

FB.

Well, title says it all...what do you all think?

I like Waste by Phish but I fear it won't translate well for the Quebecois side of the family...

I'm looking for a place to showcase Ottawa a bit as the friends are from Northern Quebec and it's their first time in Ontario and in the "big" city. I'm not interested in a dance bar but one of the bars you mentioned should work fine.

Thanks,

FB.

Thanks for the replies. I'll be entertaining some friends, if they aren't into a live band where would you suggest going for a few drinks?

Thanks,

FB.

Anything cool to do in Ottawa tonight? (bars/pubs/bands...?)

Thnaks,

FB.

Try having a great dane!!!!!

Hitting up Miami beach before and after the show made it an epic adventure for me and my friends. We also shot footage each day. That was the best sound quality show I think I've been to and the best overall show.

It changed lives!

FB.

Awesome!

(I was going to say epic...)

FB.

Doobie Brothers - Captain and Me

FB.

Very funny. For the sake of clarity I was referring to the Phish album "Party Time".

Good Vid, though.

FB.

Anyone know where a DL of this album can be found?

Just curious...

You can use the plug in DownThemAll! for firefox. It is a download manager that can accomplish what you want.

I'm in, back where it all started for me. First time they played the Opera House it was $5 to get in for three bands (including MOE) and about 50 people showed...
