mark tonin Posted February 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Wow, what a mix of excitement and nerves in this body of mine ... here's to getting through a busy week and then to a rip-roaring, raging good time in Ottawa ... so very much looking forward to playing and dancing and partying with everybody! Harvard Mouse will be starting at around 9:30, so I'm hoping that people can come early for this show (ok, now is it just me, or does every post seem to include some sort of sexual innuendo these days!). Come early, but make it last ... all night long! :: I'm hoping that you'll dig our brand of genetically modified jam rock, complete with deadly squeaks and improvisational train wrecks ... we have fun playing, and we hope that you'll have fun listening and dancing. If you don't enjoy it, well that's ok, we promise we'll still have fun playing! :: Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Mark, I can't wait... I've only see the Mouse once, on your birthday last year, but it's definately a good time. I recommend everyone comes out and sees it... And stay for the Dog, they won't disappoint either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark tonin Posted February 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Thanks Del ... I've jammed on and off with the guys in Harvard Mouse for the last 12 years ... the time together certainly provides a base for the possibility of some magical musical moments happening ... I've got my fingers crossed for some magical musical mousey moments in Ottawa! And yes, I'll be sticking around for the Dog, that's for sure! :: Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paan Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Sounds like its gonna be a night of great commraderlove.... probably the closest thing we've had to the 'Come Together' feeling since the summer... And don't be nervous Mark... if for some reason we are not happy with your performance... we will just riot and break sh!t. Look'n forward to the fancy shmancy bass riffs man... QQKCHU.

mark tonin Posted February 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 "no need to be nervous - just excited" It's actually a fun sort of nervous excitement ... kind of like a first date nervous excitement ... although it's been a loooooooong time since I've had that experience! :: See you all soon!!!

mark tonin Posted February 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 "hey mark, a couple more years and your daughter will be dating!" Ok, now that thought really does make me nervous ... heck, I remember what it was like being a teenaged boy! Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Jane Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 ... heck, I remember what it was like being a teenaged boy! aren't we all, in our minds, and more importantly, in our pants, all 'teeange boys'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark tonin Posted February 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 aren't we all, in our minds, and more importantly, in our pants, all 'teeange boys'? Hmmm, I think I get your point Deb, but it does little to alleviate the stress and worry that I'm sure I'll feel at times as my daughter and then my son work through the 'horny, invincible, experimental teenage years.'To follow the train of thought down a different track ... I don't imagine that many teenage boys have a need for viagra ... or to follow it down yet another track, I'm reminded of a saying that an older man that I worked with used from time to time ... "young, dumb, and full of cum" ... so I have to disagree that we are all 'teenage boys' ...Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 holy crap. I can't believe this weekend is almost here. Mark Tonin, this was such a good idea! I hope the flyering helps bring out a few strangers (Del and Meggo....how'd that go???), but it sounds like there will be alot of friendly faces coming from out of town. I'm purty excited but worried about next MONDAY!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace, Mark Mark, you silly! That comment was MEANT to make you stressed and worried about Caitlin's impending teen years. See, you & Liana will go through it before we will so I can still be flippant. But I'm sadly reminded of that weird cosmic joke on all of us -- as we gals mature, we do indeed become like teenage boys, but alas, as you teen boys grow up...well I guess that's why there's a market for viagara when it's eventually needed. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, you & Liana will go through it before we will so I can still be flippant. Hey Deb, I know that you were 'giving me the gears' with your post, I forgot to include a in my reply. Your post made me smile and laugh, but it also got me thinking about sexuality issues as related to age and gender ... hence my babble of a reply. I may not be "young, dumb and full of cum" anymore... now I'm "older, bolder, and still can smolder". Paan, the above line makes me howl with laughter! Mark Tonin, this was such a good idea! Thanks to you bouche and to everyone else who didn't think that I was off my rocker when suggesting it and who helped to put it together ... it didn't really turn into a "festival express" but it's still going to be a blast!

Hux Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 So you'd be arriving later friday night bokonon? Maybe some skating Sat. afternoon or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokonon Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 i meant eight in the morning, that's why i'm laughing about it, i'm a really heavy sleeper and i'm not a morning person, so i really need help in the morning. i'm not grumpy, i'm usually too sleepy to be grumpy.

Shawnald Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Can someone send me real ottawa directions we are coming in to town and need to head straight to the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokonon Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 use www.mapquest.com you can get directions right from your house to the bar. the bar's address is 221 rideau st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hux Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I would recommend taking the Nicholas St. exit from the 417. Stay left on the exit, and it will take you along the canal. I believe your first stop light will be at Laurier, go straight and you will see a sign for Rideau ahead, go straight, and at the lights at Rideau, go right (can only go right), and the bar is just on your left, if you hit the next intersection -Cumberland - you've gone too far Melinda! Maybe some Ottawans can verify that, but I think it's right. Drive/fly safely everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 The only thing I'd add is that Cumberland is a small cross-street; a better "You've gone too far!" milepost is the Loeb grocery store (on the North side of Rideau, which'll be on your left), or (further along) the big LCBO on the North-West corner of Rideau and King Edward (which is a big cross-street, with a stoplight).
