what ever man I didnt write this sorry om isnt cool enough for you but I have to sayt as far as candidian promoters go these people are solid people Ive played for them 3 years in arow now and not one time have I had a problem and when I did the clonk stage fro them 3 years ago they supported the project well beyond what they needed to... I didnt see people sticking up thier snotty techno noses in past years when I had them book todd sines, kerri o, machine, kero (hows playing this year also) and so on... so get a life and grow up
