On The Run Tomorrow!
By kevin ~ Posted Friday, July 22nd 2011Our new summer experiment, Band On The Run, kicks off tomorrow at noon up in the Junction.Grab an iced coffee and meet us at the old train station platform on Dundas St. W., just east of Pacific Ave. Then travel with us for the day or check our Twitter or Facebook pages for clues and reveals about the next band's location to meet up with us. You might even spot the Wavemobile racing around the west end streets. Yes, we have a Wavemobile. Thanks Scion! And if you can't make it out during the day or just haven't had your fill of great music, then we have two more bands for you at night at The Garage (73 Cecil St.) starting around 9:30pm. This afterparty is a BYOB event and will wrap up at midnight. It's a twelve hour shift tomorrow if you're up for it.
A few things to think about for tomorrow:
- it'll be hot, the weather network says it'll be 33 but feel like 39. wear sunscreen, wear a hat, wear whatever makes you comfortable on hot days
- wear good shoes, we're walking a lot tomorrow, you can also ride a bike
- bring water, remember it'll be hot, you'll need to drink water, we're starting in the Junction so you can always grab a bottle or two at a store up there, or bring a reusable one and fill it up as we go, one spot we're going to has a fountain
- bring snacks, trail mix is a good one
- we're using public areas so we need to be considerate/respectful, of the areas, of our fellow citizens, and animals and plantlife
- don't block paths/roads, make sure there's room for cars, bikes, pedestrians, dog walkers, etc. to get by wherever we are
- don't litter, we'll have garbage and recycling bags on hand for anything you need to throw away
- don't throw your cigarette butts on the ground, we'll have an ashcan bucket for them, please use it
- the event is free but if you're having a great time please donate a little something for all the bands, they'll appreciate it
- most importantly have fun and go with it, we've never done this, we don't know what's going to happen, things could change at any moment of the day, we're in this together!
See you tomorrow somewhere around these parts:
