Your totally right Pablo.I'll only go to see live music if it's got improvisation. "scenes" or collective interests come and go.People always come back to improv. because it's the only sincere form of music. All other music is somewhat contrived or pre-meditated resulting in a lack of truth.Without improv. how else could musicians like ourselves who have never played together and don't know each other manage to communicate? Truth is common ground. Anyhow, I did have a good time playing on Saturday night(thanks Dave and Cjam). I also had a good time before and after the show. The good thing is that Friday nights gig paid for the gas to go to Ottawa and we didn't end up going in the hole.So we live to fight another day. Onward and upward.

I think we're splitting the night.

looking forward to playing for you guys tonITE. (FU Schwa.)bump.

Hey Ryan, Did Stu take that photo(see above) exactly at the moment you realized you shat yourself? What's the deal?

bump

happy b-day Craig. Lex and I were glad you two could come over on Sunday. If I'd have known it was your b-day I would have gotten cake. Well I did play some Cake on the stereo...Does that count?

Was that falls show the night they teased inna-godda-davidda inside the split open and melt jam?This is what I recall but my mind isn't too reliable. Nice talkin' shop with ya last night at Craig and Sari's OB1. Let's do it again.

I'm not sure....

Acoustic and Electric sets

NO COVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those guys are putting on some great shows lately. The Auditorium Theater show in Rochester was sonically awesome and an energetic performance by the whole band. A good setlist as well.

Good times.Thanks go out to Elemeno and Mama Pink for bailing me out of a parenting-pickle. thank you to everyone who made it out. It wouldn't be a show without ya!

Happy B-day buddy. If I had known last night I'd have made sure you and Ike got KICKED OUT. Fockers.

Ya hear that Lazlo?

Ryan told me to tell everyone that he will be serving free beer and liquor.As well as hand jobs in the back room.

I use Adobe Audition. It's easy to use and has all of the options.

Carnivale is a cliffhanger yes,but it's a creepy and fantastic telling of the old 'good vs. evil' story.Deadwood is great too.It's witty like a Shakespeare play but oh so nasty and filthy.

Cacksuckers.

The Cats will be closing the night with the Dog doing an opening acoustic set followed by an electric set.We hope to see you all in your costumed freakiness.

JUST GIVE HER A RIDE or I'll have to get Ike to break some fu$kin' skulls.beeotches.

how is it you can type a complete sentence?

wads of cash? It's more like neugroove said. I can't count how many of these fests musicians have done for free. Not to mention the times that it cost me money personally to play and do sound. This is part of the reason it pisses me off to hear complaints when we all know talk is cheap and requires little effort.

remember what your mother told you...if you don't have anything good to say.....

I think that applies specifically to forums such as these.I agree that variety is the spice of life but if you want change in this world you have to get off YOUR ass and do it yourself.Nobody has the right to complain about anything unless they're backing it up with action(even on jambands). The funny thing is that the people who consistantly have "opinions,tips,suggestions" every time the CTMF schedule comes out are the same people I've seen having a great time at past CTMF's.These are the people I believe should be backing up their opinions between fests and researching price and availability of all these other bands they want to see at CTMF.So to whomever this applies, get out from behind your PC and start making the MAY24 2007 CTMF more hip or evolvish or whatever.As you'll soon realize you can't keep everyone happy all the time.If you try to please the whole you'll find there'll be no CTMF at all, which is something I'm glad Mr.Wilson understands.

To all the people who have organized or helped organize CTMF in the past decade I say THANKS.Without it there would be nothing to bitch about around here

I think the name Come Together Music Festival was meant to place emphasis on the tightness of the family of music lovers and musicians that gather every year.It's an honest, pure, real reason to COME TOGETHER.

I'm with edger on this one. Everyone's got their own vision of what CTMF should be or should have been, but unless you're taking the time and effort to organize, book and promote it your negative views aren't needed(or wanted).I know I'm only in one of the "average local bands" but this IS a forum designed for professional and amateur bands alike(right, Bouche?).

Listen, I don't eat at McDonald's and then act surprised and complain why the food is greasy and unhealthy.I knew that a long time ago.

We played the first CTMF at the Hungarian Hall in Brantford in 1995-96 and I don't remember Wilson or anyone else promising a bigger better more professional festival.CTMF has just continued for the past decade.It's continued to exist BECAUSE it hasn't gotten too big for it's britches. Let's see if Evolve can exist for a decade or more.Those of you looking for something less 'local' or 'average' should go to one of the fests in the states. Hell you can get your ass searched at the border, wait in line in your car for a day or two at the show, buy some shitty dope, party with thousands of sketched out people you don't know. That leaves more room for those of us that are actually appreciating CTMF for what it is.It's just too bad some people thrive on being negative.But it makes me sick when they claim it's only opinion not negativity. This particular thread was titled "come together schedule" not "unhappy people step on up and bitch the same tired old bitch we bitch every spring, summer and fall." damn! I feel better now.
