...or black...for your "dark side" of the harbour...

or would that be "small town" ?

Dartmouth is only called the darkside because of the low income housing around the harbour. Also the city of dartmouth inspired the trailer park boys. pretty soon we are going to have 2 gentlemen's bars. I don't see why that makes thisside dark. One guy I met told me that they call it dark side because there are no Christmas lights here.

if Halifax and St. John's are both scheduled on a north american tour, i will be attending. these are the two most hospitable places i have ever visited. honest to god. trooth!

a TOAST to the MARITIMES!!

as a maritimer, i thank you for your kind words, however,
i think all the toasting is why we are so hospitable...catch us during a hangover and it's a different story!

if an unlimited supply of Keith's is promised, i don't think Ed would turn down another gig down in these parts.

is there anything else we can do to promote another visit to the maritimes? put together a top team of marketing experts who can give a multimedia presentation highlighting the pros of such a venture? should we ask Keith's to get in on it and send them some free beer as enticement...come on, this has been great advertising for Keith's!

what can we do to make this happen?

Hey Lanners, these things are decided upon months in advance, so whatever anyone does, they should do it soon. But here's a couple of lame(tongue in cheek) ideas -


1) Get those Chron's and Colitis kids that Mike visited in halifax, and get them to write a letter to Mike saying they're going to die en masse unless Mike shows up again and performs with the band. Yes, its a shameless ploy, but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures !!

2) Petition the people at Keith's and have them start an international campaign to draw the boys back to Halifax. Should Keith's fail to do this, then start throwing around the word "boycott" as a motivating factor. If this fails as well, then let it slip you're with some right-wing wacko group who will see to it that they put Keiths out of business just like they did with companies from France. If this doesn't work, then you're fucked.

3) Start a real petition here on The Porch or Given to Fly, replete with plenty of ass-kissing and numerous references to those sick kids in Halifax who just won't make it unless they get to see PJ once again. Get people to sign on only if they plan to make a commitment to going to any concert in Halifax. (a sort of on-line version of the Rush petition from years ago).

4) Organize a Howard Zinn conference at the exact same time as the eastern swing of the '06 tour. PJ will be all over that, like ugly on an ape, and will have no choice but to make a trip to Halifax. Oh look !!!, PJ is in Halifax, care to play a few songs while you're here ??!! (or 30).

5) ***REVOLUTION*** !!!!! This is it. This is the one true chance to finally turn that wannabe, half-assed, joke of a radio station (Q104) into a respectable outfit. Get them on board by shaming them into action. Threaten them with an on-line campaign to tell the world just how shitty they really are as a rock-and-roll station. Alert them to the fact that this is their one shot at being "with it". Whatever it takes ! War is ugly. PJ must return to Halifax.
