alot, most i've ever seen at fernwood
open parachute: i missed most of their set because of the huge line
italian edition: i was impressed, not really my style, i like their last song though
black tie social: i havent seen these guys since the jacobs fall cd release back in 2004 and i really liked them, sucks that this was their last show
STUTTERFLY: i've never been so pumped to see a band in my life, and these guys were nothing short of spectacular, really a tight band, great energy and stage presence. looking forward to seeing them again.
theset: first time seeing my friends in this band in a while. and every time i see them they're better than the last. loved the new songs and loved hearing the old ones, good luck on tour boys - Sat, 25 Mar 2006 2:20pm Edited: Sat, 25 Mar 2006 2:25pm

tons of people went. I'll agree with the above poster, most I've even seen at Fernwood.

Open, Parachute - I am sorry to say I missed their set, which makes me sad as I love their EP and was jazzed to see them.

Italian Edition - Always sound great to me. Their stage sound was really good for the Big Fernwood to me, so that was a plus. Last song was a killer.

Black Tie Social - Last show, makes me sad.

Stutterfly - My first time witnessing them. I heard the hype and to me, they don't do it, but the kids went CRAZY, so I guess they got the job done. They all had great hair and nice t-shirts.

theset - is the theset, if you've seen the show you know the drill. Lots of energy, kids went nuts. If anything their set seemed short to me.

happy birthday to Chris! - Sat, 25 Mar 2006 2:52pm Edited: Sat, 25 Mar 2006 2:56pm

Pretty good show. But the crowd was pretty lame. I mean seriously, parts on Open, Parchute's Set (for example) where there was a slow interlude, people still moshed.

Christ...

Anyway, onto the bands

Open, Parachute! - I love it when a band lives up to all the hype. Very sweet set. I dug them a lot, and the EP is pretty good as well. I look forward to seeing them again.

Italian Edition - Always awesome. I think Jack might have been a little to high in the mix, but still an awesome set.

Black Tie Social - The saddest day of my life. Their last show and they will be missed. Playing the Tambourine was fun, but it was bitter sweet. I shed a tear hearing them for the last time.

Stutterfly - They fall in the same catagory as Kincaide for me. I will admit, they're good at what they do, but it's just not my thing.

Theset - Second time seeing them, and I liked their set (no pun intended) better this time. Having the CD and knowing the songs always makes you enjoy a show more I think, so it was cool to sing along.


All in all it was a good show with the exception of the generally lame crowd. - Sat, 25 Mar 2006 3:20pm Edited: Sat, 25 Mar 2006 3:36pm

My favourite part was the couple that were making out side stage during theset. The guy was grabbing all sorts of ass. Well, really just one ass, but with all sorts of vigor. I commend thee.
I'm not really a moshpit kind of guy. I guess I'm just not angry/violent enough. But it was wicked fun to play for a crowd with so much energy. Also, Jason if you still want to fight me then it's on like Celine Dion.
I thought all the bands played really well. Stutterfly was particularly loud.
Thanks to everyone who came out, rocked out (apparently with their cocks out in some cases), and clapped their hands. Hope to see you all again soon.
Love Chris. - Sun, 26 Mar 2006 11:11am Edited: Sun, 26 Mar 2006 11:37am

I liked all the bands. I looved Black Tie Social, sadly this was my first (at most second) time seeing them. And just my luck, their last show. Oh well, it was a tremendous show. I missed thesets set due to lamosity. HUGE crowd. Seriously, stop it with the popularity guys. - Mon, 27 Mar 2006 1:37am Edited: Mon, 27 Mar 2006 1:38am

"450? At Fernwood? jesus!" - Joni

Yeah Joni its scary what has happened out here in the past 6-12 months! I guess its because you're gone, everyone thinks they can rock out a litle harder.

Even about a month ago there was about 350 kids in fernwood when I was there. - Mon, 27 Mar 2006 10:55am Edited: Mon, 27 Mar 2006 10:57am

internet hype haha

I wonder if the internet promotion is bringing in more kids than the postering. probably.

but actually yeah, I think it's mainly because everyone is trying to fill the "rocking out" gap left when Joni left - Mon, 27 Mar 2006 2:03pm Edited: Mon, 27 Mar 2006 2:07pm

everyone started going to shows, blame myspace!
seriously, thank you to everyone.. especially theset
and matt morrison for getting most of it together.

bosevus is back in action; lauren, scott, and the
whole crew thanks for a great night, and a last
show to remember.

to anyone who missed open, parachute! i feel bad
and anyone who didn't dance to italian edition; you
might be dead.

did anyone see that lame cameo appearance during
theset?

I'm coming back next month; everything will be returned to order in due time. That's a promise!

For real though, I miss Victoria all-ages shows about as much as I miss Victoria weather. Read: way too much.

I like how I planned to bring lemons to every black tie show but it only happened once, anyway I think that little fernwood show was my favourite

From what I can remember I have one of silver screens at gary oak, one of silver screens at little fernwood, part of hey jude from open air, I may have others - Thu, 30 Mar 2006 9:47am Edited: Thu, 30 Mar 2006 9:49am

Little Fernwood was also my favourite Black Tie show. Infact, it's my all time favourite local show. I mean the line up was amazing (Muarice, In Medias Res, Black Tie, Pushing Up Diaises) and it was such a cool set up (Inidian Jones during Pushing Up Daisies) and a sweet venue.

Gooooood times. - Thu, 30 Mar 2006 3:50pm Edited: Thu, 30 Mar 2006 3:51pm

For sure this gig was a great gig for BTS but still my favouite shows were in this order Live @ Centennial Square 2004,then 2005, The White Eagle Hall 2004 with Ghost of Science, Maurice, SmallHorse and the Daisies. Most eclectic show of BTS all time best was live at Fernwood (Little) with In Medias Res, Maurice, Pushing up Daisie. Now that was a show!!!!!! - Mon, 3 Apr 2006 9:15pm Edited: Mon, 3 Apr 2006 9:24pm

I remember at Little Fernwood, it was my first ever exposure to In Medias Res. I had no idea who the hell they were, and my friend and I were kind of laughing at Ash's nerdy look. Then when he got on stage and rocked it like mad my friend and I were both in awe and amazment.

Ah what a good night. - Tue, 4 Apr 2006 4:24pm Edited: Tue, 4 Apr 2006 4:25pm
