Sounds nice! Did EM ever do a show with Ottawa's Dr. Huxtable? I think it might have been a set-blender at C'est What, early December, 2003. Aloha, Brad

I'll be getting Mashed. I posted this event because I thought some Ottawa people might be interested in it instead of the Mashers. Aloha, Brad

Ottawa Citizen: Meet Ottawa’s new pinball wizard Aloha, Brad

I've been there twice so far, and I like it a lot. They have a good craft draft beer selection (four taps, $6 a pint, IIRC), make grilled cheese sandwiches (as well as pogos and nachos etc.), and the brickwork (and the feel it engenders in the club) is amazing: you almost feel like you're in the old Ottawa club "The Cave", or maybe the Cavern. http://www.hihostels.ca/Ontario/1448/mugshots_bar.hostel Aloha, Brad
