So who's all going from Hamilton (or this general region?)... I want to hit up this show, but Todd can't swing it, so I'm looking for a fellow traveler, or some people to hook up with before the show.

Oops, I guess I posted my comments in the wrong thread (see pinned thread re: upcoming show at Mavericks).... In a nutshell, I'm still smiling...

Sounds good. Tara, are you and Baj going down for the whole thing? When's everyone else planning on heading down? Tonin, what about your crew? I think I'd prefer to catch as much as I can... but it will partially depend on what the rest of the circus is saying... Looking forward to this!

Wow! What a show at PJs last night. I had such a great time. Glad that the boys got a good turnout. The full band acoustic was particularly a special treat for me, and the new tunes sound great. Looking forward to listening to the versions on the new disc. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Diesel Dog continues to be one of my favourite "local" acts. THey always lay down the groove just right, and last night was another demonstration of this. No bullshit, just great melodies that feel real good to move to. Thanks for that.

I don't know if I can handle two nights out in a row... but this sounds great to me! I've always wanted to see Mel Brown live, and Steve Strongman is always good times too. Is Strongman playing with the Lapsley brothers these days? I thought I heard something about them doing a European tour, and that they recently got signed... With an 8:00pm show start it may be feasible though... what time do you suspect Mel will go on?

(((Best of luck Sarah)))... I think you would make an excellent candidate for this job! You always bring a smile to my face anyways.

Congrats to the two of you!

I'm in.

MarcO, now that you mention it, I suppose there is a very good possibility that I was at that show as well... I would have been in the dark as to who they were at that point however... Crazy..

Welcome Joni! Looking forward to running into you again soon. Definitely at the Lanc in three weeks or so, if not before then!

Booche you should never drink and dial...

Always nice to run into Yo! He's still out and about at the odd Fatties show, amongst others. I would think you'd have a fairly safe wager on running into him at the 420 show!

Happy Birthday to one of my most favourite people in the whole wide world. Thanks for turning me onto this scene when I was much too young to be raging into the wee hours of the morning... who would have ever known where those early Doug Feaver days were to lead. I cherish your friendship, and am honoured that you will be standing up for me at our wedding this summer... Cheers to all the laughs past, and those that are sure to come!! Love you lots, sara

It was cancelled.

Yeah, this was one of my main lines of reasoning too... Thanks for the input Brad!

Many of whom do not identify with hip-hop culture...

Is there a specific reason (or set of reasons) you're still debating? Aloha' date=' Brad[/quote'] Mostly the inevitable debate over whether I truly have the funds, time and energy to spare... However, I have never seen UM before, and am definitely intrigued... even if it is a Tuesday night. I had been seriously considering the LUcinda show as well, but didn't get a ticket early on, and don't really feel like paying a hefty price for a shitty seat (if there's even any left... which I kind of doubt)... The price for UM seems reasonable... and actually aside from the cavity search on the way in, I quite like the Opera House... But yes, if you can offer any comments on Umphrey's and why I should not miss this show, I'd be happy to hear them!

I'm still debating whether to grab an Umphrey's ticket or not... I'm leaning towards yes...

Sounds like a great way to spend a weekend! You've sold me. That's definitely a part of our country that I have yet to explore in any length...

Sounds beautiful Ari! Glad to know that you are safe, and enjoying yourself. Ah... to be able to get away like that...

Wade in the Water... I Shall Be Released... Almost anything off of the O Brother Where Art Thou Soundtrack... Congrats on the new home!!

Welcome nibbler! and yes it's true, MarcO's penetrating abilities are infectious and admirable!

Me too. Ever since the Hamilton show, I've been pretty hooked. Any word on a replacement?

That's awesome MarcO, you punk! I didn't realize this was the gig that you were talking about... A good cause too. I'm supposed to be meeting up with an old friend tonight for dinner and a catch up, but if I am able to, I will try and swing by to catch your set. Cheers!

I somehow missed this thread earlier... what a nice, warm picture of a grinning Marcel!
