mark tonin Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I'm very excited that I will be heading to Vancouver for a few days at the end of December to visit my brother, and as a HUGE added bonus, we'll get to spend some quality time together at a couple of Garaj Mahal shows! I've never seen this band live before but am very impressed with the live recordings I have heard ... these guys can play!Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keither Posted November 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Hey Mark.Give me a call when you get into Vancity. It's looking more & more like we may also have a free GM performance on the day of the 31st. We're in the process of arranging an in-store with a workshop at Pacific Drum Centre & the Granville Island Music School so folks can meet the band and some of the musicians can have a chance to pick their brains.778-881-FIREPeaceKeither Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark tonin Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Thanks for the heads up Keither ... I'll be sure to give you a call when I arrive, on the 28th or 29th. Looking forward to a great time with my brother, who I love dearly and don't see nearly enough of, and to seeing this band.Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
