ollie Posted September 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I want to be able to see Brooke Burke and Storm from the front row too Are they gonna be there too? The web site link I posted only mentions Dilana and Magni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 They will be bringing along Brooke to some shows (before she gets too pregnant) and hopefully a few other contestants. From what I undertand the show will go: House Band w/ various contestants performing Dave Navarro's Panic Channel Supernova All I know is it's gonna be on a Saturday night and we're going to party like rockstars (and be at the same hotel most likely). Hoepfully we'll be on Newsted's side and I can yell out for them to play Sweet Leaf ... or maybe a Mule tune . Should be good for some shits and giggles ... and hot groupies running around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted September 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Hey Kev, I think the show I posted about is a completely different deal. It's NOT part of the Rockstar Supernova tour. It is being promoted as just "Dilana and Magni". I had heard a couple weeks back that they were going out on the road together. Got more info about it: It's gonna be outdoors (rain or shine) in the parking lot of the bar, 1200 tickets to be sold. I smell a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I smell a disaster. More info: tickets will be $20 and the outdoor concert actually takes place during THE DAY. There will be a VIP performance later that night, limited to 100 tickets. No word yet on how much those will cost. Looks more and more like a quick money grab and my interest is waning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 There's an ad in the bands section of the The Ottawa Musician website; scroll down to the Sept. 14 entries, and it reads:Hey Y'all, Just wanted to let you know about a cool promotion that Coca-Cola will be doing with The Thirsty Toad regarding their ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK. Starting in October on Every Saturday your fans will have the chance to "Party Like a Rock Star". Every Saturday 6 individuals will get a limo ride to the bar and back, access to a roped off V.I.P. booth as well as complimentary food and beverages through out the night. They will get their own server and security and an optimal view of the stage. On many nights the ROCKSTAR charge and the ROCKSTAR girls will also be at the bar. The party will get started on October 7, 2006 which a HUGE yet-to-be-announced headliner along with two weeks of radio buys on The Bear announcing concerts at The Thirsty Toad as well as introduction of the promotion. Feel free to forward this around to other friends and bands! Bookings are filling up fast! Contact me for more details!jdbaskin@gmail.comThe Sept. 12 entries include one announcing the bar:The Thirsty Toad Lounge is located at Bank and Riverside, 1344 Bank Street. It is in close proximity to Carleton University as well as The Glebe. There is also easy bus access as it is in walking distance from Billings Bridge Bus terminal. On the first floor there is a full-service bar for people to get a drink/bite before the show or maybe escape some of the action. \Speakers and plasma screens around the bar will keep people in touch with what is going upstairs (where the stage is). The sound will be piped downstairs and cameras will be placed upstairs so people can still see what's going on. The club has a 24-channel mixer, and I would compare the sound system to Mavericks although I believe it is more powerful. They have a ton of cool lighting effects, lights with mirrors, white stage lights, fog, siren, strobe etc...3 monitors. An array of Shure and AKG mics, capacity is 175. There is also a heated patio next to the stage where people can smoke and still watch/hear the band. Free Sound & beverages are provided to any band or promoter using the venue. There is also an appetizer menu available until 1am. The band green room is very large and has a 30" plasma screen, a ps2 and a hammock. There is also loads and loads of free parking, as well as easy bus access as it is in walking distance from Billings Bridge. Please contact Joel Baskin (Pilot Music Productions) @ 613-301-5635 for any booking info.jdbaskin@gmail.comAloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 There's a review in today's Ottawa Sun. A notable quote: For pub owner Jason Strachan, the success of the event proved that there is a huge, untapped market for live concerts in Ottawa. He's bringing Rock Star's Suzie McNeil and Susan "Storm" Large to the pub in October and Ryan Star on Nov. 4."We are going to open a bigger venue in the spring," he said. "Ottawa is ready for a new kind of music scene."Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
