boiler Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 I'm 10 minutes south of Kincardine. I lit a fire in my backyard yesterday that should last now until the end of September. I'm sure we can get something together.I'd really like to get a good band or two up her this summer. If any promoters out there can help with that, that would be sweet. I'm sure I can help with suggestions for a bar or something and some sleeping accommodation's. I have a big yard that can fit a bunch of tents.

boiler Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 looking for a good band! Ya know any? My yard's not big enough for a festival. However, my buddy down south did offer me his farm if I ever wanted to throw a big party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaggyBalls Posted April 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Boiler Rat I could walk to your place from our cottage on Bruce Beach.I think summer at the lake might not be so quiet after all...presuming of course that you're friendly.

Jay Funk Dawg Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 My new band : www.myspace.com/houseofdavidgang wants to play outdoors this summer... take a listen... do you think we'd work out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Gruvsten Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 jump on www.stillepost.ca and go to the Grey/Bruce county forum...Ulrike(Josh R.) is the moderator there and a good friend of mine living in Owen Sound - he knows lots of the musical folks up there and is very involved...

edger Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Todd and I are on the Bruce very frequently throughout the summer. The family cottage is on Miller Lake just north of Lion's Head (south of Tobermory). Gatch from the Fatties also has land on that lake so there are certainly possibilities for some sort of jam. Blurry, you're on the Bruce too aren't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blurry Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Blurry, you're on the Bruce too aren't you?We're in the Grey.....so close to the Bruce I can taste it!Let us know when you guys headin' up this way edger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaggyBalls Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hey - What's camping like up by lion's head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottieking Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 If you are going to go that far, Rob, drive the extra half hour to Cypress Lake. So beautfiul.All this Bruce county talk is making me miss home (Chesley) a bit. Thankfully there are Tobermory and Sauble events on the horizon.

edger Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 As for camping up the Bruce, we have done a little bit of that. Not too many places, as we usually just stay at the cottage and venture our (e.g. hike, boat, etc.) from there.But as Scottie mentioned, Cyprus Lake is indeed beautiful. However, it can get pretty busy during peak season. Hiking to the grotto is something that everyone should do at least once! All the trails that include and connect to the Bruce Trail are a great trek.We have camped at Cape Croker which is a native reserve just north of Wiarton. It too is located along the escarpment overlooking Georgian Bay. We have been there twice, and in our experience it is far less busy than provincial parks and is just as nice. Great hiking, boating, swimming (although the georgian is a little chilly), and fairly private sites, especially when they are not full. I'd recommend checking this place out for sure if you're doing any car camping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edger Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Oh, and Blurry. A few of us will be heading up to the Bruce for May 2-4 long weekend. We'll definitely be doing some jamming around the fire. If you guys don't already have plans (e.g Frontier Town, whatever) than you are more than welcome to join us. It should be good times.

Walters Falls is fairly neat, and if you head to the top of Mountain Rd. on Blue Mountain you can look down on the town of Collingwood and see that the street lights of the town were originally placed to spell COLLINGWOOD. Pretty cool actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like great times!! But you'll have to let me know the next time you come up after that. May long weekend Boss and Aubre are getting married in Florida - we have a beach house rented for a week and The Keels are playing at their wedding.......it's not going to suck - oh yeah! Have a great weekend up here Edger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a guy potentially opening a new venue in Sauble..across from The Patch.More a restaurant but was /is considering turning the top floor into a patio bar. I've heard abit about this as well. Lobbies (the beachfront patio/bar) has changed ownership and will be booking some acts this summer as well. I can liase for anyone who wants to get a show together from this end. I'm at the beach at least twice a week for work or otherwise. Send me a pm and I'll get it moving. If anyone wants to get some jam time in on thurs nights I've got an open jam going at Greenhorns. We're getting more traffic though the beach lately and we had a real sweet jam this week with a bunch of local players. Right now its just an acoustic thing but we have plans to expand it to a three pc core set of gear to fill things out. g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 A venue to play real live music in Bruce County? Sweet. Where's Greenhorns? I'd be interested in hitting up that open mic from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie and Ricky keep telling me about you and how we should be jammin since we're so close.Greenhorns is on the main drag in Sauble, south of the lights (away from the beach) right beside Jaffa's coffee house. pm me and I'll give you some more details and contact info.cheersbtw...what a fucking beautiful day in Bruce county huh?
