personally, i would not trust any chain store. i would have it framed at a local independent place.
QFT.
If you care enough to get your posters properly framed, you probably should take them somewhere that specializes in framing and not some box store that gets high school students to do the framing when they aren't busy stocking shelves.
Even with their 40-50% off sales, Michael's will cost close to what you pay a framing shop without the quality assurance. If you want a stock, cheap frame in the standard sizes, then Michael's is fine. If you want some quality work done, a place like Bank St Framing is the way to go. More expensive but you get what you pay for and they guarantee their work.

This year was amazing. The wife and I have been going every year since '94. Getting camping tickets is really difficult unless you volunteer or know someone who does. There are plenty of day tickets available for the Saturday and Sunday shows if you get there early.
Here's the complete lineup for this year:
Samantha Schultz
Oh My Darling
Spoon River
Toronto All Star Big Band
James Keelaghan
David Woodheads' Confabulation
Gareth Pearson
Christine Tassan et les Impostures
Celtic Blaze
Jesse Greene Band
Mathew Zadow
That1Guy
The Gertrudes
CaneFire
Toby
Gareth Pearson, Christine Tassan et les Impostures, and CaneFire were definitely my musical highlights.

Nice haul! It sounds like you got all the good stuff. Although, I did manage to pick up around 100 LPs for $20.

I couldn't possibly have anything to do with the Harper government's agenda of setting up a U.S.-style private prison system.

Do you really think an institution that is supposed to be the venue for learning and developing critical thinking is the proper place to teach mythology as fact?
Your clear bias permeates throughout your response. Did you not read what I said?
This is true. I have a very clear bias when it comes to the state sanctioning of any religious or moral agenda as truth within public institutions.
From my point of view' date=' religion (regardless which one) is really just a manifestation of societal moral codes and life lessons that help to raise kids.[/quote']Your definition is a convenient oversimplification. Regardless, I would prefer people to keep their "moral codes and life lessons" in their homes, churches, community centres, etc. and not in the schools.
-
Is there not some danger there of a conflict of basic codes between these children, as they're taught in different systems, which they'll carry into adulthood?
Exactly. State sanctioned institutions should not be used as a means of promoting a moral code based upon religious belief, regardless of the flavour. This is exclusionary and divisive by its very nature.
-
Is school the right venue for that? Well if we could trust parents to actually raise their kids then I would say no, but given that the concept of 'parenthood' (and 'family' for that matter) has become so incredibly diluted, that I think that kids should be exposed to it somewhere and it might as well be school.

Hope you had a great birthday, Todd.

Happy belated birthday, Gord.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the fact that I coined a pretty excellent term earlier in the thread:I hate to be a harasshole...

Voted. Good luck, Heather!

Have a great birthday!

Here's a link to their Youtube channel:

Thanks for the heads up, bradm. Definitely in for this one.
Any info on a presale password?

Why would the guy release the image before the show?
Isn't the purpose of a gig poster to promote the event?
-
Thanks to Velvet, I am also in.

I need three for tonight if you got'em.
I have 2 available.
-
Maybe the $20 per ticket Convenience & Facility Fee on top of the $70 admission is keeping people away.
-
Good idea.
I have 2 extra tickets for the following nights: July 8, 9, 11, and 17. Looking for my cost per ticket ($18.00).

happy birthday, bradm

It has been brutally slow for weeks. It seems the site server can't handle the traffic.
edit: what Basher said. too many Sneed threads.

Denied for SPAC.

Did anyone end up buying tickets for this? I picked up a couple. Similar to StoneMtn, I passed on the last tour and have regretted it since.
And now Ladies and Gentlemen, the scariest part of Harper's Gov't
