bouche Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 i've been trying to avoid this thread for so long because I had already committed to an event in Ottawa long before this brilliant show was thought up by Tonin and Keri.I can't believe that it is this weekend already. It seemed so far away when Mark had first mentioned it to me and I always knew that you all were going to have a night to remember. These mini music fests are something that I can only recall happening at the Lancaster in K/W and I'm hoping that this sort of thing will eventually make it's way to Ottawa, taking over Maverick's and the Cafe Dekcuf.2 floors of fun....Have a great time everyone, and I sure hope some photographers will be there!

Have a great time everyone, and I sure hope some photographers will be there! I'm hoping that Guigsy, Kaidy Mae, and Stu Dog will all show up with a camera. I wish that you could be here Mike, but I knew up front that you couldn't be. Trying to nail down a date for a show, especially one like this, can be an excercise in frustration. Finally we just decided to go for it, knowing that it didn't work for everyone, including you. I would love to bring a version of this show to Ottawa. I was thinking of doing it at some point in the spring, but once again, nailing down a date that works for everyone has been tough. So my best guess for an Ottawa version of this show is in the fall, unless someone has an outdoor location that we could do something like this in the summer. I am still amazed when I think of all of the wonderful people that I have met at festivals, shows and online over the last 5 years. This web site has helped in so many ways to foster and strengthen those relationships. I am a lucky man. I am trying to remain calm, but I am so stoked about Saturday's show. Hopefully I'll get some sleep in the next few days, because I don't expect much of it this upcoming weekend. Peace, Mark I've said this in private, but I need to say it in public - Keri, thanks for all that you've done to help promote this show. It has been a treat working with you on this.

Esau Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 (edited) Any tips on a hotel room (single) in a relativley close distance to the Lanc?I tried calling the Comfort Inn on Weber but they want 113 +taxes for a single for one night (115 for the whole wknd). Thats a bit much for a place to crash in KW in my opinion. [edit to add]If there is a good spot of live music on sunday night also, then I'll get the room for 2 nights since its only $2 more...What happens on sunday night in KW...in the form of live music?

Esau Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Yeah, I saw that, and have searched online for hotels on victoria, but only find info for hotels on weber, King & Fairway.Hell the Raddison has prices comparable (+/- 10 dollars) to the comfort inn or the holiday inn....odd.

geomouse Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 I'm not surprised some of the 'finer' suites on victoria street aren't online but I'm sure they would have rooms available with a phone call or even when yu got to town. The Victoria (Motor?)Motel is one by name I can think of if you searched on 411. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewRider Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 looks like fun.. sure wish Alexis car made it to the show but it would've just cost her more to tow it back from Kitchener if it had.
