SO maybe to summarize, we should avoid:

1. Fort Coulonge Quebec

2. Watsons Corners Ontario (scene of my facial rearrangement)

3. unofficial wearing of military or biker insignia

4. Smiths Falls Ontario (nobody mentioned it but now I have, toughest town in the Ottawa Valley)

5. any gated areas under military control (unless maybe the freedom fighters are on your side and can smuggle you in and out--this happened to Steve Earle

6. Dutch country music festivals (I heard another story of recent vintage from one of these this year. Seems they're still into the Homer Simpson/Davy Crockett cowboy hats and are way too much into line dancing

7. About 50% of all Legion halls--the trouble is knowing which 50%, cause the other half can be some of the greatest places!

8. Hudson Massachusetts

9. Any historical events involving much artillery (unless you play warpipes)or jet flyovers (Snowbirds)

10. And finally, any show anywhere where the person who calls you (you don't call them) uses the word "exposure"--comes in the conversation right after they mention that they don't pay you.
