paisley Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 (edited) from an out of towners perspective, I've always wanted to check out the Black Sheep... used to help book people out of town and was always impressed by the Black Sheep's line-up and it also sounds like a beautiful placewhen they say Black Sheep "Inn" does that mean they have rooms you can rent? any other hotel/motels in that neck of the woods that could hold a hundred or so too drunk to drives?

bradm Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 I think there's a hotel attached to it, but it's a separate business. The website ishttp://www.theblacksheepinn.com/so you can try contacting them.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeker Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 (edited) With all the debate the Slip might just say "fuck it" and not play here at all. Let's get it together people.BreakdownCapital Music Hall - Too big, no re-entry, shit staffBarrymore's - Too big, but if this is thew only canadian date it might be the best option, def. has the best atmosphere/sound/lightsZaphod's - Bands done at 11pm nuff said.Bourbon St. - Too far (fuck you bouche;)) Too small, no walk up, bad logistics all aroundMaverick's - Leaky ceiling, but what other bar in Ottawa has had consistent 200 people jamnbands shows in Ottawa, the've proven them selves and we owe it to them, they better call a plumper thoughBlack Sheep - I love this idea, but I worry it might not work out for the band/promoter causing The Slip to never want to play here againBabylon - If only Canadian Show, then this venue would be perfect size, perfect location (fuck you booche;))Rainbow - Maybe, I've only been there a couple times, found it too small and too hot and the bands were always shit. Might work, somebody sell me on it.Irene's - too small, shitty soundTucson's - WTF?!?!? Let's get seriousOur Backyard - Great idea, but you stinky wooks would trash the place. Besides we have new yuppie neighbors the might not like it.Horrible news about no Montreal, it makes no sense. We would have burned the Econolodge to the ground this time!Shane - ready and willing to steet team it up, no incentive nessecary.

paisley Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 nice lookin spread, bit pricey but not too bad if you're splittin a room (probably worth the extra for a waterfalls room)... area looks beautiful campin in Gatineau Park looks pretty nice too to round out the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Capital Music Hall - shit staff They'd never say anything bad about you without meeting you, so perhaps you could shove it up your ass? Who do you think brings the bands, pours your drinks, hangs your coat, keeps you safe, provides sound and lights....? Middle finger salute for that one, Trevor. No hard feelings though AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Nah, no fighting. It was a one time salute. I just don't like people slagging on close friends of mine for doing their job, which is serving people.I don't think anyone here would tell their bus driver or clothes salesperson to fuck off, so why would you do it to bar staff?And like I said, no hard feelings. Better things to do.AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeker Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Whoa AD...I knew i was going to get this but i said it anyway. No beef with owner I'm sure he's gold or the bouncers for the matter the bouncers are usually the meanest looking nicest guys ever. As for pours my drinks the bar staff are mildly retarded pricks who suck at life and their jobs, the door staff think there guarding the gates of heaven of something, chill the fuck out, the coat check....fuck coat check I never bring a coat to a show so fuck them too, useless bastards. And sound and lights, i can do better than that in my backyard. AS for bringing in the bands insert no name hip hopper, boy band posi-core/grindcore, cover band bullshit...oh wait i think Loverboy is coming back, I stand corrected. Capital sucks mmmkay pumpkin. Middle finger right back at cha. No offence taken bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phorbesie Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 i don't know all the venues...but i might throw my vote in for babylon.i do like mavericks, and the rainbow is cool, and i'll go wherever they do play, but babylon is a good size and it's dark and dank, which will be good for when they get all dark and crazy and blow our minds to shreds.

bouche Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 It really seems like Maverick's is the best choice all around. They do host a very fine party. sing it with me! MAV-ER-ICKS!

Del Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Dekcuf would be way too small... Especially if the rumours of Ottawa being the only Canadian date are true... I imagine quite a few people will travel for this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hux Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 If it is the only Canadian date.....there's no question Barrymore's is the place. Confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im going home Donny Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 oh well if ottawa is in fact the only Canadian date...I'll reaarrange my vote to Babylon, followed by Mavericks, followed by..mabey the Sheep... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 If the Slip played Maverick's, they'd easily see the successful crowd similar to the GTB/BnB evening on 07-13-2005. Wasn't that a killer turnout? They hold at least 200 eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im going home Donny Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Yeah Mavericks would be way cool...guess I'm thinking it might be too packed? But gees I guess its not like The Slip are 'Hugely" known round these parts.....haha...again I'll poster...gebus I'll probably poster my own posters if thats the case..love Canada Slip vibes.

meggo Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 1, freeker what is a 'plumper'? 2, i'm pretty sure the black sheep inn no longer sleeps people... tried that a few months ago when i thought i was going to run out of gas, no dice. 3, i have nothing new to say RE votes. my favourite pick would be barrymore's b/c it's a great size and very close to my bed. black sheep b/c it's cool. and maverick's b/c it's familiar. however, the whole "leaky ceiling" thing is a very big problem which hopefully will never happen again. i do like that place, though. thass'all.

SaggyBalls Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 1. barrymore's2. the rainbowfind a new room and approach the manager4. babylon/maverick's5. 'that place'I think there could be enough people to break even on the slip with the right promotion and some pilgrimage.ideally - get a good local band with a draw that's got ahold of the indie market or a choice local jazzy outfit...SJO?? Lure?? the acorn? department of foreign affairs??I am totally with bouch on the theatre venue bringing a 5/28/04 vibe. that's my favourite slip experience to date even though it's only been 5 experiences...

U.FProductions Posted August 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 (edited) Does this mean Ottawa is getting a Slip show?no contracts have been signed. but the first step to getting the venue and the right venue at that.thanks for all who responded to street team email. I'll have more info soon.CheersShane Edited August 14, 2005 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
