kung Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Seriously though folks Cuff The Duke is not going to be this accessible for much longer. It's only a matter of time before they're opening for Neil at the ACC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcO Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 I saw Shannon Lyon a couple of weeks ago and he mentioned he would be playing with his band at some sort of barn party in Guelph-area with The Sadies this Fall. Know anything about that kung? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

\/\/illy Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 I made it down with a friend and we were commenting on the way there that for some reason we hadn't been to the festival in many years. After about 45 minutes of being there we looked at each other and said, "now I remember why we don't come here, it sucks!" I'm sorry but this is truly one giant waste of time. The only food vendors are Pizza Pizza, a Greek place, and 5 different stands owned by the same company and all selling deep-fried shit. It was terrible. There was a day when you could buy some really cool international food at this festival. That is no longer the case. In fact, as far as all the vending goes, with the exception of hempapotamus ( ), the quality was much higher in the parking lot after the 'Dead show in Darien. No kidding! I did manage to catch a few "Luther Wright and the Wrongs" songs but that hardly made up for the dissapointment everywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Hey MarcO, I think this might be the party you're thinking of: The 5th annual Dog Day Afternoon takes place on Sunday, August 17 - 1:00 pm to 10:00 pm, on Fourfold Farm near Fergus. A map will be included with tickets. This year's performers not in order of appearance) are: The Sadies - www.thesadies.net Linda McRae - www.lindamcrae.com with Gurf Morlix from Texas (longtime guitarist/producer for Lucinda Williams Dinocopter - www.scottwicken.com Nathan Coles FluxAD - www.fluxad.com The Candidates - www.the.candidates.tripod.com Shannon Lyon & The World Record Players - www.shannonlyon.net A limited number of tickets will be sold (still $20) and must be purchased in advance! No tickets will be available at the gate. Tickets will be reserved for out of town people, send me your name(s) and a list will be at the gate where payment will be collected. All this is to help with numbers for preparing food, beverages, etc. Food is $4 and beer $2 - no alcohol will be allowed on site. All money goes towards paying for the event. Fourfold farm is a working organic farm and the owners have generously allowed us to use their space for the day (no camping). Mark and Sandy have two small children and two dogs and have requested that no other dogs be brought to the party. The free shuttle bus will run every 15/20 minutes from the Trasheteria parking lot from 12:30 pm to 3:00 pm and back again at night. There are a few picnic tables, bring blankets or small chairs to sit on. This event is rain or shine event. Tickets are available now from me and at Music in Orbit (Douglas St.) August 9-16. You may give out my e-mail to anyone who is interested in coming. This is a laid back party for friends and music lovers so come and enjoy! If you have any questions, the easiest way to reach me is by e-mail. Hope you can make it! Lil milanovichlil@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Damn! Not sure if I can swing that this weekend - I thought it was definitely in the Fall - sounds great though. I'll have to see if I can juggle some commitments but if I can I'll get a hold of you MK. Thanks for the info. If I can't make it, I sure hope lots of other people do, this is a great line-up.

MarcO Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 "beer $2 - no alcohol will be allowed on site" This is slightly confusing. I think they're saying I can't *bring* beer, but can buy it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
