[Escape@Hand]

I have to say I loved the acoustic set for this show. Not a huge Boots or Hearts fan, but Flamenco was incredible as was Scared. It was nice to hear some Henhouse tunes other than ABAC and Giftshop.

That set list is pretty good to me. And Im fairly non forgiving when it comes to setlists. Ottawa is a bit of a Harper town anyways. Some good looking girls, but, people are fairly uptight. It's a Gap culture if you know what I mean. I dont know why Robbie bought a condo there...I figured he would have bought a shack close to the sandbanks. He seems like more of the beach type to me. The state side crowds will liven things up I'm sure!

Harper town? He is only on loan and almost past expiration.

As far as Ottawa being uptight, how about three nights and in a row - no beers in the seats - maybe the only venue to date with that handcuff...

I hope Downie takes this seat routine into the US and lets loose on "them".

I think Kitchener had a no beer in the seats rule as well.

No beer in the Great Hall at Hamilton Place last night either. At least not on the floor, not sure about the balconies.
