headygouda Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 FYI, my ticket from TM says doors @ 2pm, different than the BSC website, and would result in me missing UM!!Get there early. Looks like 2 sets of cheese or a really long one! Anyone know the curfew on the island? 11pm perhaps?From the BSC website:doors 1:00pmUmphrey's McGee - 2:00pmKeller Williams - 3:30pmMichael Franti & Spearhead - 5:00pmXavier Rudd- 6:30pmThe String Cheese Incident - 8:00pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 FYI, my ticket from TM says doors @ 2pm, different than the BSC website, and would result in me missing UM!!Call TM. Send them an e-mail. Send them a letter. You paid some heavy service charges, and their "service" would result in you missing out on (some of) the music. This is unacceptable, and they need to be told about. Heck, tell BSC about it: BSC is using TM's services to get tickets to the fans, and the fans are getting screwed over by them.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I expected, but I would have thought Keller and Rudd would be switched.Someone will know better then me, but I thought I heard earlier that the last ferry from the island left at 11pm or something. Which would make me think Cheese would be done encores and all by 10:30 at the latest - can't get everyone stuck on the island! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headygouda Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Well, I've known of this discrepancy for a while. In fact, the doors time at the BSC webpage used to say 12:30. I know TM got the show time mixed with doors, a BIG mistake. I should let TM know, hopefully, they'd send an email our to all the folks who bought online. For people like me who bought them in person though, thats just tough luck if you're not proactive about looking up times for yourself!Sucks for UM though. It really will be empty for their set I think, which is too bad. I also hope they have good food vending there or let us bring in food (unlikely). This is obviously a whole day event and we all need to eat. The thought of living off overpriced, shitty 'venue food' for the day makes me sick.We should all be allowed to pack a picnic for the island.

headygouda Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 From the toronto island ferry website:http://www.city.toronto.on.ca/parks/island/summerschedule.htm#centreLast one is at 11:45pm.From olympicisland.com:"The closest ferry dock to Olympic Island is the Centre Island dock. On the day of the show, there will be 3 boats operating on the route from the mainland to Centre Island. It takes about 7 minutes for the ferry to travel the route between the island and the city. Loading and unloading times vary with the number of passengers."I wonder if that means there will be 3 boats operating at 11:45 ??!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-towns Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Rudd and Franti should be before Umphrey's, I'd wanna get the crap outta the way first, but thats just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is obviously a whole day event and we all need to eat. The thought of living off overpriced, shitty 'venue food' for the day makes me sick.We should all be allowed to pack a picnic for the island.this is my EXACT concern. I don't remember where I read it, but apparently "they" are NOT letting folks bring in food. As to whether the organizers have thought to provide food for sale is still unknown. The island(s) themselves have one snack bar (on Ward's Island) and a small cafe (also Ward's) that I know of. Other than that, the only option is overpriced junk food at the Centre Island amusement park.I've been asking everyone I know if they know anyone who lives on the island--or anywhere where we could stash a cooler of decent food. anyone....? anyone....?

CyberHippie Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Big thanks Jason, I wasn't planning on wandering in till 3. I don't care too much about Umphrey's but definitely wouldn't want to miss Keller... Shame Keller comes on so early, when is he going to come up here and give us a decent show?

CyberHippie Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 re: foodThere will be onsite vending, probably just pizza and hotdog kinda stuff. I was told by someone who had been to a show there before to bring in your own food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 There is a vendor villiage at each stop on the BSC tour, so I would assume you will see festival type food vendors there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 If you want to bring your own food, just claim to have dietary restrictions (allergies, diebetes, etc.). I've done this at the Molson Amp, and it worked just fine.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaidy Mae Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Yeah, that's what I was going to try bradm. There's usually nothing vegan at the usual vending stations. Claim an allergy people. No one can really argue with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 hah, I had a muffin I tried to bring into the Amp one time and the guy wouldn't let me. So I told him I had diabetes and had to bring it in. He wanted to see my medic alert bracelet, which of course I didn't have. Then he wanted to see my insulin, which of course I didn't have. After much argueing with him, he finally let me bring it in. But fuck, you'd think I was trying to smuggle in dynamite or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 What's the best (worst) allergy.... wheat, eggs something else?Wheat AND eggs? That would probably guarantee that you wouldn't be able to eat anything there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phorbesie Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 nuts, milk...i have egg issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaidy Mae Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Bouche, I usually claim to be Celiac (high gluten intolerance) whenever there are the usual venders (pizza, etc). You can't eat their nasty white bread. Corn, soy, dairy, peanuts and pork are some of the top allergies though. I find this little lie works better than saying you are diabetic, etc. Usually a medic alert bracelet isn't required. However, don't be a dumbass and claim a nut allergy and try to sneak in celery and almond butter. Get your lies, errrr, facts straight. P.S. If you're planning on sneaking eats into "that place" tomorrow, I think they may be onto you now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calamity Jane Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 okay -- so I give the Celiac line, but what then I can I bring in that doesn't immediately show my lie is a fake? I wanted to bring pita & dips, or pre-made veggie burritos or something. KM -- what could I be allegic to and still eat that stuff?and, btw, we never talked about this show --are you & Lacey going?

Let me do some research. I've been into the vodka for about 4 hours now. You probably don't want to take any advice that I'll be dishing out at this point. and, btw, we never talked about this show --are you & Lacey going? (if not, you can imagine what my next question/favour will be....) Hahaha! I would love to watch the girls. However, Lacey & I plan to tear the roof off this mother. Sorry there sweets!

PassedOutGuy Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 I am completely disappointed in seeing the order of the lie up for Toronto... of course I am excited to see all bands but the bands I was really hoping for Umphreys and Keller later in the day... I was anticipating maybe catching Xavier Rudd set do to frisbee golf/ doobie commitments... I really wasnt expecting this at all... guess ill be raging from the get go... I hope the Umph boys can get up for a gig like this ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
