mark tonin Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Hey Skanks,Thanks for coming out in a big way to make the FUNdraiser such a successful event on so many levels. We definitely had some fun while raising some funds for the jambands.ca community.Although it is difficult to calculate exactly how many people attended the event, we had between 400 and 500 people there, including paying customers, band members, volunteers, and guests.The event raised approximately $2100 after expenses. The plan is to put this money back into the jambands.ca community, in order to help this web site and community become bigger and more vibrant than it already is. Bouche, Keri and I will be discussing different alternatives for using this money, and ultimately bouche will make the call as to how to use the funds.Thanks again to everyone who supported this event and helped to make it so successful!Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blurry Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Ya, great time......thanks Bacon and Tonin for putting this on - good chunck of money raised ta boot!! Great music and people! Mud and I LOVE the bowl we won!I was drunk and obnoxious......so my apologies to anyone I knocked into or offended. Including;Scwa & Thognor - for being loud and obnoxious at your after-party - bad guest!!Tigger and Sherry - for moshing into you instead of dancing with you - bad space invader!!Summer - for taking your beer out of your hands and drinking it near the end of the night - bad friend!!Oh, there's probably more but I can't remember. I"m going to shower up and have a way better game face next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Jane Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 WhoooHoooo!!! and button sales should add at least another $100 to that pot! Large Marge should be hailed for her generous donation...not only of time & creative talent to do the buttons, but for also DONATING the cash outlay to make them!!!

bradm Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 The event raised approximately $2100 after expenses. The plan is to put this money back into the jambands.ca community, in order to help this web site and community become bigger and more vibrant than it already is. I recommend putting it into a 30-year GIC (or similar long-term investment instrument), earmarked as the "Mark Tonin Hip Replacement Fund", thus allowing the infectious shakin' of his booty to continue well into (and beyond) his (and our) 70s.

Moondogg Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Good times, loved it. Hope the shows keep happening. I think by the end of the night everyone was feeling a bit intoxicated by music/booze/ psychadelics or all of the above. Great vibe......evryone that attended should be commendedGotta say that What the Thunder Said sounded pretty fly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 google shares have fallen...now's the time to BUY!Seriously, that's some great news! It's amazing what 1 night of fun can achieve. thx for all of the hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Wow, another great night of fun and debauchery!!! Big thanks to all involved for putting on the best night so far at the Lanc (hope they got the stank out of the place before the regulars took over again!!) Some notables:"Chairman" Mark Tonin & Backbacon: thanks for organizing a well-run, quality event and working all night to see it through. I would be honoured to help out in any way I can to make the NEXT ONE as great as last Saturdays party. You know the routine Mark, If you don't call me, I'll end up calling youTungGruuv & DieselDoug: sound guys never get the credit that they deserve. You guys both took on a difficult challenge in trying to make this event a "sound" success. You both exceeded my expectations of how well the Lanc can sound, both upstairs and down. I checked out both rooms during the evening and heard nothing but praise for how good it sounded. Thanks for going above and beyond your efforts were appreciated!VVi!!y & "That other guy upstairs I didn't get to meet" : We all saw you in the corner getting it all stuffed into your computers. Hope the end result can capture the magic of the evening. Looking forward to hearing the final edits.All of the bands: What can I say, all of them were great in my opinion. No matter what ANYONE says, (on this board, or elsewhere) all of the musicians put their hearts and souls into providing the best music that anyone can ask for. Keep up the great noise, and I look forward to sitting in on the tambourine with any of you, anytime. Wish I could've gotten upstairs to tamb with the Fat Cats, but Superfly took me by surprise, and the tractor beam of funk that they were putting out held me in my place. Definately worth checking out if you missed them. Note to Diesel Dog: I've known you guys for 15+ years and each time I can jam with you, its an honour. Not only are you my favorite band, but you are my best friends. Here's to the next 15 years and beyond. Thanks!Geomouse: The lights made the night downstairs. More for next time!All of the Skank family: We are on in this together, keep your lights shining. How is it that we can all seem to get together and there is no bullshit (fights, stabbings, shootings) and everyone just enjoys the music?? We are a friendly crew and I love being part of it. See you all again soonAnyone who came out and didn't know about jambands.ca or any of the bands: Thanks for being adventurous enough to try something new. Some times you "just gotta poke around"MaxWebster and the keepers of the "Mangle Manor Motor Inn": Didn't think that many people could fit into one place (where's the basement??) The cops took the wind out of the sails but it didn't keep the boat from rockin' well into the early hours. Give me a PM Max, I think I can find a way of contributing to the "noise fund".Hope I'm not forgetting anything or anybody. I had a great time enoying the show as well as helping out where I could. Looking forward to seeing you all at the next event. FloydPS: Mabsy: You got my beer at the end of the night too!! Don't worry, I'll get you back. Tigger: Give me a PM and we'll hook up. Didn't realize you lived so close.Esau: true warrior, straight plower. Glad to see you up this way my friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I just wanted to say thanks. It was great seeing some old faces and meeting some new old faces and some new new faces.I was lucky enough to win a CD package at the event. Great music thanks a lot.!! Apparently I signed my name to a ticket, I really don't remember doing such a thing but I'm glad I did.Thanks to Del for the pre and post party. Thanks to the motel we stayed in too, for not calling the cops and letting us stay until, well you kicked us out in the end, but thanks anyway. lolHope to see you all again soon.

tigger Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Not trying to be a direct burn , but either than a couple of skanks from Ottawa : Where were the kind folks from O town? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 This kind folk was at home, asleep. After the previous two weekends (not to mention stuff happening during the week), I simply could not face a long drive (assuming I could find a ride) from Ottawa to K/W, then partying well into the night/morning, then very little sleep, then a long drive back. My system was a lot better off staying in, doing very little, and resting up.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
