Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Why is it that they persistently schedule this thing so it conflicts with Hillside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calamity Jane Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Yep -- every single year -- same dates as Hillside.Rememeber when we used to poster for Hillside and we'd rip down the Beaches posters and put up Hillside ones in their place?Ah --- our lost youth....(And, I'm actually kidding all you outraged moral police out there!!! Isn't it great to feel your heart rate speed up though?? Doesn't hate and moral outrage make you feel ALIVE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingstoned Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 just stepped in from checking it out...i live right in the middle of it. Didn't arrive home until 8pm and had to park about a 10 minute walk away from my home though...damn street parking...But whatever its only once a year and my bad for not getting home early. Anyway if you're down here check out the kid on the corner of hammersmith...starbucks/rogers/macs milk corner...he's like 15 or so Rob something anyway flute player he ripped out some bela fleck last year. He's pretty cool to listen to while bimbling around. Didn't have a chance to walk the whole thing and unfortunately I won't be around much this weekend bad timing I forgot about it really but anyway always a good time. Calamity Jane - I was just about to write you up a ticket for moral wrong doing Enjoy Hillside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
