briguy Posted July 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Sorry you can't make it, Willy. I forgot to mention that it's $10 at the door and $8 for members of The Sanctuary. If anyone's interested just PM me before 4pm Saturday and I'll make sure you're on the $8 list. And if a Sanctuary member brings four people that pay full admission they'll get in for free. People that only give a member name at the door will not be eligible...you have to PM me before 4pm on Saturday. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briguy Posted July 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Booyaakaa! You can say that again! I'm really looking forward to this gig. I was always interested in Big Sugar but it was the reggae vibe that dominated their sound during their later years that really grabbed me. Since they're spending a lot of time in the studio with Mr. Johnson I'm hoping he'll make an appearance. That would be pretty wild. I might have to let my hair down for this one!
