Around 7:15 pm last night I decided to go get a haircut. So, I went to do that and then after talking to the person cutting my hair I decided to take a drive downtown and head to the Bluesfest. It was good for about 3 great songs from the "String Cheese Incident". Then the thunder and lightning started and the great jam band had to leave the stage, so I walked over to the Grassroots stage to see if Dutch Mason and John Mayall were going to play. Nope, all concerts temporarily cancelled until the storm passes! Walk around for 20 minutes and watch the beautiful lightning Show, then the rain came and we all piled into Ottawa City Hall, beer and all. Yes, all 5 security guards at the door stopped some people from bringing in their beer. But, the rest of us stood with our beer at the big glass wall and watched a City Council meeting. Around 9:45 they cancelled the rest of the evenings shows.
I heard that Bluesfest is letting us go back tonight with our receipt of yesterday's ticket. So...I guess I will go back downtown. And, yep, it's supposed to rain again!
