GC Forum downtime.

Hey folks,
Sorry for the forum downtime. I expect it to be up and running some time tomorrow. In the mean time, you should head over to Weird Canada. It's a great place to hear about some of the best new music in Canada.
I will also be in Saint John for the next week or so. I hope to see many of you.
Peace.
[edit] it's back up now, sorry for the inconvenience

Best of Saint John Music Awards Update
-by Chuck Teed [11/05/10]
I am STILL without computer, but I wanted to give you a quick update on Friday's activities:
The show is taking place at the Blue Olive this Friday (May 14) and is FREE. You can reserve a seat if you want to get something to eat beforehand or guarantee a seat, but otherwise just show up.
This is a 19+ event. I believe the law allows people under 19 to attend if they are accompanied by parents or guardians, but you might want to check with the restaurant just in case. If I get an update, I will let you know.
The show will start between 9PM and 10PM. If you show up later than that, you will miss some great music and maybe some awards. I would love to see people dressed up in their best duds, and I would love people to bring their cameras so we can have our shenanigans documented.
Musical acts include Clinton Charlton and the Formers, and Girls Would Kill. The award show hosts are Jud Crandall, Adam Mowery, and me.
That's it for now! I will continue to update this space with details over the next few days! I'm excited!!!!
