General OLP News

[Illusion]

Do we know if anybody is going to be nice enough to boot it for us non-Charlottetown people to hear? (pleeeaaaasssse!! )

But yea, I hope the concert is a lot like edgefest 2005 where OLP pretty much introduced us to all the big songs off HIPT.

I am unable to make it to PEI. I had seriously considered driving there today, but decided not too. Maybe Kathy will snag some video for us.

[crustine]

is Kathy actually going?? wow

[faninor]

[Kicker774]

I didn't think about this.
I'm already going to be halfway there to Vermont.

Then again that'd double my drive back that I'd have to do in one day.

Doing sever upgrades over the plant shutdown at work and have to be back Monday morning. So no crazy on a whim driving plans here.

.... yet (Gotta leave yourself open to a sequel here)

Hey guys, I will being going to PEI tommorow for the FOL, So I will report any goodies when I get back to Halifax on Tuesday, Hopefully I will be able to get the camera out for some pics and footage

[xjsb125]

If you can snag as much video as possible, it would be greatly appreciated. Have a fun time!

[crustine]

kicker you can do it. it will be a mad drive but completely doable

[Codes]

If they play a new song, I will try and use my memory for that, hopefully they do

[Matt.]

that would make you awesome

[Kathy]

Sandy and I went down to the festival this evening to check it out. The Trews and Billy Talent were playing. The festival staff appear to be pretty serious about the "no camera" rule... we saw a lot of people running back to their cars and hotels after being turned away at the gates (despite attempting to cleverly hide the cameras). They've been announcing all day on the radio to not even try to bring the cameras in because it won't work. There's a big sign outside that says "no still, audio or video cameras".

It's also supposed to rain all afternoon/evening tomorrow.

I don't think we'll even attempt to bring the camera :\

[crustine]

you will of course have your phone yes the pics and recording will be pretty bad better than nothing

have a blast and i look forward to reading the review.

[xjsb125]

I managed to sneak a Hi-MD recorder, battery box, mics, and a video camera into Edgefest. You can get a camera into this festival. Just have to be stealthy when using it.

[Teedus]

What time are they playing at? And is it radio hosted at all?

[crustine]

since we cant reply to gails post about Salvador I guess i will put it here. He is adorable. Sal (williams??) shout out?
how can daddy even think about playing?
bet it will be an interesting show

[Teedus]

I wonder if that would give him more or LESS energy?

[Tattooed Angels]

Tabie. I thought it might be from Salvador Dali.

Is that his name. I know I should know it. Daniel is probably from the boys cause they said the boys were going to name him.

As for cameras. My friend use to put her boyfriend's recorder in a tampax box and sneak it in. This was way before mp3s and things like that. . The early 90's
we use to sneak cameras in (if female) by placing it in your bra. This works if you are chesty to begin with.. Then again why try if the security might take it from you at the show. They still do that, and some will not give it back.

As for Raine. I would say he would go. It is only a 2-3 hour plane ride. He could fly in the morning/afternoon. Do the show and get back to Toronto.. Bono went on tour with U2 4 days after his last son was born..

I will say this. Raine will be in a good mood. I mean come on, who wouldn't be? You wife just gave birth to an adorable healthy baby.. Nothing sad about that.

[Johnny]

Salvadore is a dumb name, in my opinion.

[Soozy]

why do you have that opinion Johnny?

Also, wow Chantal looks great in those photos. You'd never know she'd just given birth.

[Dr. Hobo]
