This should be a good show so drag your asses out! I did a benefit show with the cancer foundation in March and Barbara was a big help.

It's for a great cause... and if it's anything like my show... all donations will remain on the Island. Show your support for local music and a good cause! - Wed, 5 May 2004 5:53pm

Yeah! Actually INSIDE the building is "nowhere near the place" eh? I'm afraid it's back to kindergarten for you simpletons. - Fri, 7 May 2004 4:32am

No, "inside" isn't "near the place", it's INSIDE!

Thanks Zak, I knew you'd understand. - Fri, 7 May 2004 7:34am

Now now kids, try and keep your alcoholic tendencies under control!! Difficult I know...yet not impossible.

If we want shows to continue at Big Fernwood, you must set a good example for the young-uns and ensure all drugs n' drinks are kept far off site (this includes you evil oldschoolers & band members).

I'll be bringing along my willow switch to keep any dissenters in line. Anyone caught drinking/smoking on site will be forced to clean the gym floor with their toungue at the end of the night. Be warned!! - Fri, 7 May 2004 8:02am

Why drink on site, when the George and Dragon is just down the street?!? - Fri, 7 May 2004 10:40am

Exactly my friend....except 99 percent of the folk who will be there will be 18 or under. In which case there's a school ground 2 blocks away. With plenty of stealth quick exits on all sides I might add.... - Fri, 7 May 2004 10:44am

Ah yes, the good ol' Fernwood!!! I saw NoMeansNo there during the You Kill Me tour! It should be a good benefit concert (I might not attend, but I'm more then willing to give my $7 and non-perishable food item nonetheless). BTW: It used to be more stealth for quick exits, they built onto that building in the last few years. - Fri, 7 May 2004 10:51am

Crikey you boys must be on crack or something. There is a school right across the street, and FCC has remained the same since it's inception in '79. Come and enjoy, but leave the crack at home, well...maybe bring along one of those brownies or two ;) ;) - Fri, 7 May 2004 1:44pm

Rubber Box, for $10 you can lick the floor and my boots...all proceeds towards the Cancer fund. - Fri, 7 May 2004 1:48pm

No it hasn't. They build a new fence and added onto the gymnasium with another building (I don't remember that being there). - Fri, 7 May 2004 4:22pm

Yah ok Griph, you're right about the fence, and a separate portable building was installed about 4 years ago. I guess I'm just getting old, and have worked there way too long...touche, I concede. :) - Sat, 8 May 2004 1:57am

Yeah it used to be a lacrosse field in the early days. Long, long before that it was part of a natural spring that supplied the city with water (hence Spring Ridge).

What I meant orginally was the main building has had no additions built on to it...yeesh.

o.k....history lesson is over now. - Sat, 8 May 2004 2:12am

SO let me get this straight. We can drink inside and not nearby, but only if we lick Nocturna's boots?
Deal!

DISCLAIMER: Sorry bro, inside is as close to the place as you can possibly get. There's no closer to "the place" than "inside" the place. We ARE double stacking amps though, so there's a "back room" for bands to drink (pops) behind the drums though.....i'm a genius. - Sat, 8 May 2004 8:27am
