Great bands, great people, great place and super good cause. What a fun night. All the bands were right on and they looked stoked. Sound was awesome for all the bands. That's the way to do a fund raiser. Raise money and bring down the house at the same time. Looking forward to next year! - Sat, 29 Jan 2005 11:37am

What a great night... it was so awesome to see so many people out supporting a great cause.

Thank yous go out to Barbara of the BC Cancer Foundation, Steamers Pub, Long & McQuade (for supplying the drum kit and bass rig), all media who covered the event, and of course all the band for donating their time. This really means a lot. Another big thankyou to Simon for doing such a great job on the soundboard!

I had a great time up on stage last night... this was the first time I'd played on stage with a band in at least 6 months, and I loved it. Thanks again for all your support! - Sat, 29 Jan 2005 2:09pm

Now where did Wolfy put those pics?!? Second tune was my fave LLRH! Yeah good times! Did my best to hang til the end but caved B4 the Brothers Black preached to the people! My voice left the club about an hour before that! F$%^&*n' colds blow!

Anyways, good to see everyone...Haden safe travels on the 10th (right?)and LLRH great work gettin the whole thang together..you got a cool Mom too!

I thought Antilles was just plain interesting! Good tunes...real up to date stuff mixed with a melodic 70's thing underneath and then Wedge goes topless and gets down. Wild. Good lights & we all love the smoke machine! Cool stuff!

Wolf-stress thx for the blinking things...I have plans for those! yee haw!! - Sun, 30 Jan 2005 8:12pm

Yeah! You go Wolfy...'specially the bevvie-tub suggestion..hope someone from the bar reads that..they could set it up near the pooltables..the line-up there is torture! The bar-keepers sure do their best though!

Yes, of course, thanks to Kimmers! Those blinking things RAWK! Looks like I missed an awesome Black set...never seen the "love gun" before! Looks Wicked! Curious..what's the backstory behind the large photo Donnie? A tribute to a passed friend? My best regards. - Tue, 1 Feb 2005 10:41am

Thanks Wolfie for posting those pics! I had so much fun with this show... and I'm glad to see everyone else had a good time too.

We still have some compilation disks available... these disks include 2 songs from each band that performed that night. If you missed the show and wished you could've been there, this is the next best thing!

If you want a copy, email me for price and pickup/delivery

Hey! I know those drums.

Nice to see my old babies are getting played on once and a while.

Glad to hear it was a success. Good job Nicola!

It was busy all night. With the four different bands, it seemed, came four different crowds with some people sticking it out all night. - Wed, 2 Feb 2005 8:23am

JAF- yeah the drums sounded nice... once we had all the pieces there... you had to get a kit without tom mounts on the bass drum didn't you???

Turnout was great... I got up first with my band and there was easily 100 people there (at about 10:30) Not too bad for a bar show if you ask me. The door brought in $1220 for the BC Cancer Foundation (not to mention the additional donation bin that probably brought in another $100)... this money is going towards Cancer care and research... and all of the money raised stays on Vancouver Island.

I am very pleased with the way everything went. Rev DB. I was honored to have you guys there, and being such great support. I love you guys!

I can't say it enough... thanks everyone! - Wed, 2 Feb 2005 10:54pm
