I second that emotion Kev :bonghit: You getting me out of bed for the Greendale tour was the greatest 'mistake' I've ever made!!

Sean, you're about to spill your beer!!

So... the Electro Stage is going to be projecting downhill? This year's festival is a total loss imho

In one of those strange, coming-together-of- threads moments, I just listened to "Otis" by Strangefolk. Sorry to hear about Marley, Kev, having met both your pugs a few times I can vouch for them having a great, loving home. The last time I was at your place on King (11? years ago) she had a serious infatuation with my leg under the kitchen table. Kev, my thoughts are with you and the family.

Velvet, you mention Brokedown Palace in your review, but wasn't it in fact Black Muddy River?

I second rubberdinghy's recommendation of the Game of Thrones series. Only on book two so far, but it's damn good! Also, anything by Bill Bryson makes for great summer reading if you have the travelling itch

Warren just made my birthday wishes come true!! A "hometown" show to celebrate my 31st is as good as any to swing by my brother's place on the way home to see my folks :cheers: :cheers:

If anyone in the Ottawa area hasn't tried it, Black Oak is now available at the Scott St. beer store. If you have tried it, you know what I'm talking about!

I've had this on in the background today, and one thing stuck out. It's definately Brent on NFA so the date must be incorrect. There was no show 10/16/90, and that was after Brent's passing anyway. Still a very cool mix though, I'm sorry I kept missing these nights when I was living in TO.

You didn't happen to copy that from another email list you're a part of, did ya? Looks awfully familiar :-)

Alan, it's Jay Lane, from Ratdog. Ah, Bird Song... sweet!

^ 8/6/71 Hard To Handle, which actually had the first SCI i ever heard on it as filler

Not radio exactly, but try http://lostartofthemixtape.blogspot.com

Kanada Kev turned me on to it a couple years ago. Thanks again Kev!

I now realize he found out about it here: http://www.jambands.ca/sanctuary/showtopic.php?tid/256185/post/637712/hl/mixtape/fromsearch/1/

I haven't been to see her yet, but Dr. Campbell has started a new practice at the Meadowlands health centre and is accepting patients. I've been trying to find a family doctor since I moved here 6 months ago, never thought to try this board

How quickly are tickets going for the Elmdale? I suppose I should get on this right away but I'm rather excellent at procrastination...

Hopefully I can meet a few of you in person tonight. Can't wait to hear the opening notes of... BIODTL?? I'll be the guy wearing the green '98 Furthur Fest t-shirt :-)

Later,

The P.E.R.R.O. bootlegs were fairly available. Out-takes from these sessions and some others that Barncard recorded back in the day. The second disc has some great jams on it, especially hearing Jerry and David Crosby trying to decide whose car to take on their way to score.

Thanks Kev, yeah I'm here in Ottawa now. Been lurking on the site for a while.

MMW was great. Watched the first half of the show from the Mackenzie King bridge until I realized there was no longer any security at the entrances. Made my way in to the park for the last couple songs and encore, and of course a tasty Beau's.

Looking forward to Sharon Jones on Sunday, and of course Furthur next week.

I'm planning on lurking on the free side of the fences tomorrow night. Had hoped to do the same tonight but didn't quite make it over for Scofield. I'm new to the Ottawa scene, and the website, but I'm sure Kanada Kev will give me a glowing review! If I don't see any of you at MMW, hopefully I'll meet a few of you at Furthur.

Later,

Neil
