Fireball XL5 Setlist June 9, 2000 So much to talk about, firstly about this show, Michelle was studying for her professional landscape architect exams so I was alone and had no game plan for the show. In one was it was lucky then that it was SOCAN day, the day they use the setlists to figure out how much each artist gets for royalties, but unluckily SOCAN day means you have to fill in an extra set list with the name of the composer of the song, sometimes this is not easy. In fact the only thing I could do the whole show was just keep up with the lists and getting the next song on. As I want my favourite bands to get the royalty money a lot of what I played were smaller local bands. In a reversal of my usual format I played non-Canadian songs in the first set and all-Canadian from then on. Second, its time for the CKMS pledge drive Spring for Radio 2000, this time its going to be a week long rather than one special day. There are a bunch of events happening in the KW area, you can find out more at:watserv1.uwaterloo.ca/~ckmsinfo/springfolder/index.html So each show is expected to raise a certain amount of money so if you would like to support non-commercial radio in KW you can e-mail me with a donation amount. Donations over $10 get a tax receipt or prize (which do include CDs, but only for a donation of $20 or more). Third, the line up for the Hillside music festival has just been announced and I for one am quite exicited. Michelle and I have gone the last 3 years and it is always a good time. Apart from the music there is also a large craft display, good food from local restaurants, and workshops on many interesting topics like bike repair, building a straw house, enviro-camping, building willow furniture, paper making, polaroid photo art. And there is a bunch of women's issues, natural healing, hand drumming that I never get into. The festival takes place at the Guelph Lake just outside of Guelph so you can also go swimming if it is really hot. Although you can camp there Michelle and I usually just drive back and forth from Waterloo. Early bird tickets for the whole weekend are $50 compared to a one day rate of $35-$40. Some of this year's performers are the Skydigger, Danko Jones, Ivanna Santilli (my personal favourite, you know that during her perfomance I'll be centre stage wearing nothing but a rose), jack soul, john southworth, hawksley workman, andy stochansky, and more (www.hillside.on.ca). If anybody wants to join us from out of town you are welcome to stay at our place for the weekend. Fourth, trip out west was good, cold and rainy in BC, went up Grouse Mountain, saw a beached whale.
