Cully Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 This is going to be fun...just as long as Franti goes to rehab for his 'how ya feeling' addiction before the show!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YearsAlongTheSea Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I'm sure he'll remind you to "Big-Up Yourselves Toronto," a number of times. He should check with his therapist regarding the 'big-up' tip. Seriously, at bluesfest I counted and left after the 13th time he asked me "How you feeeeeeling," and there were about 7 requests by Franti that the people of Ottawa "Big-Up" themselves. Whrere do you draw the line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Jane Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Whrere do you draw the line? I do admit it can get old real fast. but I SOOOOO love his groove, his message(s), his on-stage charisma. My personal peeve is when he demands "jump up" and suddenly 1000 folks can't remember how to dance as individuals, but are suddenly bouncing in unison on the spot. Weird. But I grin and continue to shake it in my own way. PLEASE BRING HIM BACK TO OTTAWA!!!!! this post is so timely, since I just tore the house apart before logging on, trying to find my Franti CD that I can only listen to in Dave's absence (he's a 'hater' not really) so I'm listening to a 3 day old show on the archive: July 23, 2006: Artscape The Sun/Live!

hamilton Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I'm sure he'll remind you to "Big-Up Yourselves Toronto,"... I tried to "big-up" myself one time, but I pulled a muscle. It really hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boiler Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 The Guvrnment is a horrible venue. Even if you have tickets you can almost guarantee an hour or two wait in line. They only hire about three people to pat every single person down.I like the guv on Sat night, but live music is such a pain in the ass there.

\/\/illy Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I was totally impressed, despite all the negative reviews I had heard, when I saw MF and S at the Big Summer Classic last year. I really didn't expect to enjoy it but ended up thinking it was excellent. The band is so tight and so funky it just blew my mind.I'm not a big fan of the venue either but this would defintely be worth seeing. Dance party!

bradm Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 (edited) HOW YA FEELIN'???? In yet another instance of "Man-I-have-got-to-read-posts-more-carefully" (and despite being familiar with the phrase and Franti's [over]use of it), I could have sworn that sentence started with the word "Who"...

Calamity Jane Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 a teacher's summer....yup..gotta love 'em.what's more shocking in fact is that both Dave & I went "dry" over a month ago and last night was a hard fall off the wagon for me! Damn that man's got willpower! but a hangover is just what I need to remind me why we quit drinking in the first place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
