There was never a more inspired pairing than a folk open stage in an ice cream store. Jon, I hope you find another venue. I was toying with the idea of clearing the place out with a few tunes on my uke. Now what will I do? |

26 Jul 15 - 10:33 AM (#3726218) Subject: RE: Princeton BC Trad Music Festival 2015 From: Bob the Postman mobile.greyhound.ca tells me that busses leave Vancouver for Princeton at 12:15 AM, 6:00 AM, and 6:15 AM. Both the early morning busses get in at 11:00 AM, the later one requiring a transfer. Cost is about $35. The Greyhound station at Vancouver is in the same facility as the Amtrak terminal. |

I just cancelled my three nights at the Riverside Motel, if anyone is hankering for rustic cabin accomodations next to the Tulameen swimming hole. |
