Visiting Winnipeg, Aug. 25, 1999

Business finds me spending a night in Winnipeg on August 25th. What is a poor Mudder to do?

So far I have learned that John Hammond is playing at the West End Cultural Centre.

Any other suggestions?

Well, I'd invite you out to our cottage near Kenora except I'm only going to be there from the 14-22.

Thanks Rich. Acutally I'll only have a few hours to fill in the evening. A drive to Kenora and back would leave us no time to visit.

Depends on what you like ... try the outdoor cafe and restaurants on Corydon...go try the Franco Manitoban Cultural Centre in St. Boniface ... there's the Forks ... Times Changes and the Windsor Hotel are downtown, close together and have quality blues ... the Blue Note on Portage Avenue is often worth a look, but can be just about anything or anybody playing from folk to punk ... that is just a very short list of things to check ... e-mail me at hwagn@mb.sympatico.ca if you have more specific requests ... i don't want to start sounding like a travelogue

Have a beer for me. I'll be celebrating my 51st birthday in Australia.

Thanks for the info Wendell. As it happens John Hammond is playing at The West End Cultural Club that night and I think that's where I'll end up.

Bugsy, I'll have that beer for you. Happy birthday yun'un!
