Del Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Sweet, I live on the corner of Bank & Cooper... I'll have to make sure I don't miss The John Henrys, it's been awhile since I've seen them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guigsy Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 hmm.. where is bankfest? d'ya think it's possible to catch the golden dogs, and still make it back to bluesfest for the rest of the night? K-OS and Do Make Say Think are up on my list for that night.. but good christ, im dying to see the dogs!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Assuming the Dogs start at 7pm and do an hour, you could walk to the Blues Fest site and be there by 8:15pm, easy.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 You can do it Guigs, should be walking distance unless you are stumbly. In that case, it would be stumbly distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 You may see me down there. I'm taking next week as vacation (and staying in town, with a BluesFest pass), so I might do dinner on Bank St. (maybe Cafe Paradiso), see The Golden Dogs, then head over.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_rawk Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Guigs, I'll probably be up for that. I'd like to catch the Golden Dogs that day too, but definately wanna check out K-OS and DMST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Oh yeah, Doug from TJH's was telling me about this. I'll likely be there for them and the Dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Any idea when The John Henrys are supposed to start, Velvet? Their website lists the date, but doesn't give the time of the show.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guigsy Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 sounds good! this is gonna be awesome!!sooooooooo much music to see over the next 10 days! c'mon work day, finish your damn self off!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 I might be up for this! My only concern is not seeing any of Dr. John... Its a toss up. So its only a 15 min. walk from this fest to bluesfest? Can't wait for the insanity to begin!! (it begins tonight at approx. 10pm when I finish my last shift of work at The Shish Kabob Hut, then boogie over to moose's for tequila madness and The Spades!)
