So is this your way of saying you want to volunteer as organizer? lol or you want to stay a volunteer and need an organizer?

I'll be the organizer for both nights!

Cool If you don't mind I'll help you co-organize too if you'll have me... will add you as a volunteer for Hamilton too

I think we have a benefactor and potential location for Vancouver.

Brandon is this you? (I suck at converting Pit to FB/real names) Post 'em if you have 'em!

It's Clayton.

The Benefactor, or at least one will be C.H.I.L.D Foundation.

i'd love to volunteer for the Ottawa pre-party - count me in! (i know Kanata like the back of my hand!).

Thanks stargazer! That's awesome... could you help us find a bar/restaurant that is close to the venue that can hold at least 300 people?

i'm on it!

i posted this on the FB page too - i think our best bets are o'connors (http://www.oconnorsirishpub.com/home.php) or d'arcy mcgees (http://kanata.darcymcgees.com/). both are about a 10-15 min walk to scotiabank place. i believe o'connors has a private room too, which they used for the '05 pre-party, so i'm sure they might be open to that again. i don't think d'arcy's has a private room, but there are two main sections to it...they might be able to corner off one side maybe?? just my two cents, but would be a good place to start!

hope that helps!

Perhaps.
I will always highly recommend a trip east tho, particularly to my beloved NYC!
I am sooooooo looking forward to these shows, a real bright spot on the horizon!

o'connors was used for ottawa in 05. there's a discussion going on the facebook page right now if you are on that. i was going to call them to see if they were interested in hosting again. they have a big room that was used in '05 (for the record, i wasn't actually there).

Sweet! I'm on that.

Hey if you need any help I used to live there and have tons of friends there. If you need any additional info or maybe even I can see if they want to volunteer. Some of them are fanclub even.

Yes please! I haven't been to Winnipeg since 1985 or some such time...so I don't know what the heck is a good bar or a good local charity....please make recommendations!!

K I will get on that for ya. I assume you want something close to the MTS Center. I know a ton of places but wonder if you want something thats not gonna be too busy on a saturday night. Or if you want to go with straight up pub and something super trendy. Has to hold at least 200 people. And it sucks if its too busy already and people cant get in to have the pre party fun.

Where was the Hamilton PreParty held back in '05?
