I'll check it out this week, maybe today - it just stopped raining.

I we need a restaurant, I'm new here but I can ask someone for suggestions, unless someone on the forum can suggest any..

Zaphod (in Ottawa) is an open dance club with a few perimeter seats. No tables for dining. Located on the main floor of an older building on York St.

Being right in the middle of the Market, there are dozens of restaurants and bars within a two block radius. Depending on your tastes, you have lots to choose from. My favorites would include, the Empire Grill or the Metropolitan. Sweetgrass Bistro serves aboriginal cuisine, is nice and unique but reservations recommended. The Lafayette House is across the street from Zaphods and is a great watering hole for locals (very authentic old bar)

Let's see how many are interested - I would like a place that includes fish and vegetables on the menu-
and make a reservation.

What kind of aboriginal food?

Please count me in if an Ottawa pre-show can be arranged. I'm OK with any venue. Thanks.

Ok. but I'm thinking only 200??? The Webb Sisters has got to be a special setup. No dance club can survive on 200 capacity methinks.

THE WEBB SISTERS!


Born into a family of musicians in Kent, England, Charley and Hattie are The Webb Sisters.....Beguiling, dynamic performers with hugely expressive voices and plangent harmonies, they are highly skilled multi-instrumentalists and songwriters of originality and intelligence. Ingénues yet thinkers, the sisters' youthful energy and musical training combine in adventurous, lyrical and emotionally enthralling performances.

Their singing and playing (harp, guitar, mandolin and more) draw from the folk and pop traditions of Britain and the United States. The Webb Sisters have recorded two albums, building a following in the UK and achieving album and record of the week on iTunes and BBC Radio Two. The Webb Sisters represented the UK at America's 400th Anniversary celebrations, contributed songs to several major TV shows (most recently "Cane" on CBS), recorded a new song for a Judy Collins tribute album alongside the likes of Dolly Parton and Rufus Wainwright, and have performed on major concert tours with artists such as Jamie Cullum, James Morrison and Jason Mraz.

BIOGRAPHY
Charley Webb (born 1979) and Hattie Webb (born 1981) were born in Kent, UK, to a hairdresser father and a tennis coach mother. They also have two brothers, who are both drummers. According to Charley, music often blared from all of the house. Although Charley became briefly interested with being an ambulance driver, the sisters had early on decided on a career in music. Hattie played the harp, and Charley the piano. When they were teenagers, the pair began to give recitals all over the country, and played at, among others, charity functions, end-of-year parties, and played twice for Princess Anne and once for Queen Elizabeth.

They met Johnny Pierce, a record producer who invited them to Nashville, where they recorded their debut album, A Piece of Mind. After six months, they went to California, selling the album between performances at various recitals. They were soon found and offered a publishing deal, and shortly after, a record deal, and they began to create the album, Daylight Crossing. Two years later they returned to the UK, where they were discovered by Mercury Records, and they recorded Daylight Crossing. The album was released in June 2006. In May 2007 they represented Britain at Americas’ 400th Anniversary Celebrations in Jamestown, Virginia, which aired on NBC. They have recently collaborated with Angelo Petraglia (Kings of Leon) and Nashville's own Craig Wiseman, and are currently writing and recording new material. In May 2008, the Webb Sisters joined Sharon Robinson as back-up singers on Leonard Cohen's first tour in 14 years. The worldwide tour has played 175 concerts to date, in front of well over 1.5 million exuberant fans.

Hey, I just realized (I think) that you are the Evelyn I met last May in Ottawa and again in NYC for the dedication ceremony! Have you talked to Don lately? Is he coming out for this show? Unless I am confused, in which case you'll get to meet a Kitchener Cohenite.

Sláinte,
Ken(adian)

Count me in (tentatively) for the Ottawa pre-show meetup, if it happens and if you guys don't mind a fairly new and quiet forum member tagging along!
Morgan

Oh, I'm sure we don't mind you tagging along...it's your commitment issues we are concerned about. Quiet we can handle

Cheers,
