One night at some gig, I asked Paisley what he had been up to, just out of conversation, and he said "well, I was doing some laundry before I came out....". I was just like, "well, were you totally naked when you did your laundry?".

hahahwawawawahahaha...

That is the funniest thing I've heard all week. It's even funnier because it's true. It seems like just about every time I'm waiting on paisley he tells me he's doing laundry. Then he shows up in his usual attire. At least he always smells good.

That blows huge chunks. Oh well...i guess the new date will be a better show with everyone back from Phish

Palms gets them for free the bastard. He writes for VIEW and Exclaim. That reminds me Palms, I still have your cds from the Feat show....we'll hook up soon.

I'll be there. Imagine that! ::

paisley, I need you to call me...can't find your number.

cheers

Really looking forward to this. Have some friends coming down who've never seen them before. Good times...see ya there.

I think Widespread Panic could become as big as phish....maybe bigger.

If anyone wants to stop around for some pre-party action feel free....I'll be here til about 11ish.

cheers

Nice...see you there probably!

Saturday October 23...Can't wait!

Hopefully Reverend Selecta and Kojo will be spinning Jah records again. Good times.

Stay tuned for more information.

All the best guys. My thoughts are with you.

Wow...thanks to everyone who made it out for this. Great turnout!!! The band started at 11:30 and played straight through to 2:10. Ra Lion from the Resinators hit the stage for a tune as well. Look forward to having them back.

cheers

You coming, Hamilton? I know you're around here somewhere.

hahaha...no problem, Schwa. See you later!

They'll hit the stage around 11:30 so don't be late. Thorgnor & Schwa, I put you on the $8 list.

cheers

good times!

Resinators aren't playing....sorry folks. There was a bit of a mix up and it isn’t gonna happen. You'll have a good time either way though.

cheers

There's usually something going on in Hamilton at 33 Hess and the Casbah on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The last few Tuesdays Jamie Oakes has played 33 Hess but I think it's back to Steve Strongman next week....Brian Griffith plays every Wednesday. The Casbah has open jam on Tuesdays and Doug Feaver on Wednesdays. If you can make it to Hamilton on the weekend I recommend Truths & Rights at Pepper Jack's this Saturday. You can check out Hamilton's weekly entertainment mag at www.viewmag.com.

The Truths & Rights info can be found by clicking here

cheers

It seems like they don't. Not much of response for the Resinators shows i post either but their last gig at PJC was their best turn out yet. There's a pretty good buzz around Hamilton about the Truths & Rights gig so I'm thinking it should be very well attended. I'm in!

All the best Esau. Maybe I'll head down with you paisley.

1999 was such a great year. So many fabulous memories. The 6 night run of BNB in February at the Rose and Crown in Banff AB. Especially the second set on the fourth night, 02/18/99.

II. Bellbottoms>Five Alive>Funkin' Shoes>Five Alive>Jack Lumber>Five Alive>Funkin' Shoes, Function, Anabananna>Waves, Be as One

It’s amazing to think we had 6 consecutive nights of BNB in Banff. Those shows were something special I tell ya.

That June my friend Allison and I drove non-stop from Banff to Hamilton, checked out some crazy African percussion thing at La Luna, slept for a few hours and continued on to Bridgeport CT for GOTV. The artist line-up was insane.

Then it was back to Hamilton for some much needed rest…but not before my exhaust system fell off. So we got that fixed in Danbury and away we went. Slept for a few days and then some BNB at the Horseshoe…good times.

I had tickets for a few shows on summer tour but I had to sell most of them because my van was stolen the day before we were supposed to leave for Great Woods 7/12/99. Ended up renting a car and making it for 7/13/99. Pretty tight on cash at that point I had to sell PNC 7/15 & 16. Returned to Hamilton and the police found my van, checked out Jamiroquai 7/15 at the Amphitheatre and then it was off to Oswego for a few days of roasting in the sun….damn that was hot. I didn’t have time to get the van fixed and the drivers’ side door was punched out and you had to start it with a screwdriver. It was pretty funny driving up to the border with a van that looked like it had just been stolen. To my surprise they didn’t say anything. To top it off come nightfall I realized my high beams were stuck on. Made it back for the Toronto show with some fine folks from Chicago that needed a ride. I had an amazing time at the Toronto gig and the after party with BNB at Atlantis was a great way to end it....love that rotating dance floor. Unfortunately had to sell the rest of my tickets for 7/21, 7/23, 7/25, and 7/26. After that it was back to Hamilton to find a job.

Thanks for posting this TimmyB...brought back a lot of memories.
