Pootie Tang Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 OK Ottawa Skanks and friends beyond, as you can see by the title of this post, Canada Day at 40 Main will be going down again this year in the same bad ass'ed fashion it always has of years before. The last few weeks me and a good friend of mine have been knocking heads and getting things organized for what is defenitely turning out to be one huge birthday for Canada chez good ol' 40 Main Street, Ottawa. Anyone who has made it down to 40 Main street can attest that the outdoor parties we throw are surpassed by none, and it's always great times getting together with fellow skanks for these shakers. Three great ones that come to mind were last years Bluesfest party, last Canada Day and even the Rain soaked Fall Shaker, theres always plentiful of beer and no shortages of entertainment. And for everyone who was at the Canada Day bash at 40 Main last year, you know we've got a lot to live up to.. but believe me when I say bigger and better is the way it's going. Let me lay it on the line for you...last year we threw our first Canada Day bash in my backyard and really cranked it up... Last count we had about 225 walk (or stumble) through the golden arches... With some quick math and lots of cross multiplying, we're looking at having around 250-300 people in attendance for the Canada Day party this year. Take a moment for yourself........ yep, 300 party thirsty people.. I can't friggin wait. The old favorites will all be back. 1) Beer (and lots of it) will be on hand. Right now I'm aiming at between 15-20 kegs (we had 12 last year)... 2) The Johnny on the Spots were a hit (and miss - depending on how drunk you were). So you can count on your favorite outdoor toilet to return.. and it looks good for toilet paper too! 3) Munchies / Doggies - we'll be firing up the BBQ's mid afternoon to try and put something in your stomach other than cups and cups of beer. Hot dogs will be served... If you're a vegetarian, I'll pick up a few dozen 'dogs from the dirt' and that should work. 4) Games & midget tossing - we're currently trying to source a midget for the party to be available for tossing... at this point, contracts haven't been confirmed. We will have a bunch of backyard games on the go to keep you laughing and / or crying -depending on how well you play. I have been working with some people about getting together some crazy stuff again for the backyard, but we'll be keeping that a secret until you show up on July 1st. 5) Music - We're rolling out some of the best and brightest acts in the city for the Canada Day bash 2004. Opening up will be The Grant Buffet Experience - fresh from a tour through Spain, this guy is quality entertainment. Up next, Kid You Run (www.kidyourun.com).. these guys are excellent, they've been playing together since the fall of '03. Following the Kid, we've got the one, the only Kevin Carey... he will demonstrate just how crazy one man can be on stage. Last year, he spent the majority of the afternoon recovering from left hooks, this time he'll be delivering a musical knock out, so expect an amazing Rolling Stones set from this guy. After Kev, my band Comfort Station will be taking the stage (www.comfortstation.ca) . Finishing up the night, will be none other that the infamous Dr. Huxtable. Again as usual, there'll always be time available for some All-star jams, solo stuff and riff-offs...wha? Ok, running out of space and time here really quick..... The skinny from here on in... We're going to be selling tickets ahead of time so we can get the best idea of how many people to expect. Tickets will $15, and you can get them from me (Pottie) or Geoff (Dr. Hux) - if you want one, we'll find you. So basically, we'll give you a numbered ticket that you bring with you to the party, and we'll cash it in for a bracelet on the day of the party. with that you get all the booze / food / music you can handle. If you didn't get a chance to buy before hand, we'll be selling them at the door as well, for $20. Also, if anyone is interested in doing some vending at my place this year, whether it be food, clothes, services, whatever feel free to give me a call and we can probably hook it up no problem. Also if anyone else has any other suggestions or ideas for this partee, send em my way!! Done and done, as always, any questions.. email me back... 2 weeks and counting... get ready.

Pootie Tang Posted June 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Aieeeee..8 days and counting folks to summer shaker #1 at 40 Main, Canada Day ! Just a quick reminder to anyone looking to come, we finally got tonnes of tickets printed up and ready to roll so I'd like to get them out of my hands and into yours as soon as possible. Theres already close to 100 gonzo so grab em while they're hot before the big day. One question, does anyone know where we can get our hands on a CO2 pump for the kegs? or a nitrous pump? We've got one already, but I'd really like to have two going all day. Makes the pouring all that much easier, which for you guys, makes the drinking all that much easier. Anyways, shoot me a note if you can get your hands on one of those for the day. Don't worry, we've got our beer pouring experts taking care of it for the day so no need for concern.

Are you still gonna use 504 as a ticket outlet? 504? not sure what that is, 40 Main is the ticket outlet, or Ticketbastard but theres a surcharge of course. Lemmie know and I can meet anyone anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Where can I get a ticket? Are you still gonna use 504 as a ticket outlet? 504? not sure what that is My guess is that "504" refers to 504 Bronson, where FreekerByTheSpeaker lives.

Pootie Tang Posted June 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 sh!t oh yeah, I can defenitely leave a bunch over at Freekers this weekend for anyone who wants some. Thanks BradM, I'm not good on house numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeker Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 How could you forget about 504, this is where you put on the "fashion show" for us, hehehe. I'm game for being your West side ticketbastard outlet if need be. I just have one request.... LET THE TUMMIES PLAY!!! I know the guys in the band are a bunch of prima donna rock stars jerks with crazy riders and insane demands (ie.Double wide Portolet Dressing rooms, stacks of 70's porn magazine, 6 shaved hamsters and dozens of bottles of home made whiskey) But come on who else would you want to get drunk during the day to. LET THE TUMMIES PLAY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 But come on who else would you want to get drunk during the day to. Phish? Keller Williams? MMW? nero? (But I agree: it's been too long since The Tummies have graced us with their presence.) Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 If the Tummies dont play, I will be picketing on the sidewalk. If you think the mad-doser was nuts, you guys aint seen nothing yet. GO TUMMIES! (although, Mung is quite the asshole) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pootie Tang Posted June 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 OK Boys, you asked for it you got it, I'm sure as hell we can fit in a Tummies set in between the madness. An even better idea would be to let the Tummies play quick 20 minute sets between band changes, and as the day goes on we can watch them get drunkier, funnier, louder and better into the evening?

Freeker Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Phish? Keller Williams? MMW? nero? Without using hyperbole I can honestly say that The Tummies are a million times better that all of those bands put together. Booche I'm with ya let's start a picket line, scabs who attempt to cross will get dope sprayed in the ear. Plus you got that heady Noz tank wit cha right, I'm going where that goes!! :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeker Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Not to worry Pottie...I can't even get those pics, Steph won't let me have them for some reason ::. Don't worry Zim, if I ever get my hands on them I'll make sure you get a peek, but no posting. ...Oh how I wish we had taken pics of the "rockstar" in his diaper....it would have been perfect blackmail material for when he runs for office.
