John,
Is there anything happening as a last minute gig in town somewhere I can go? I came into Ottawa from Austin to see ya'll play. I can't believe it got cancelled. I hope everyone is ok after the accident, but I'm hoping the trip won't be in vain either... I go back to Texas tomorrow. Be safe. Your wife's show was quite good. I didn't know that was her until the merch people mentioned it. I only caught the last bit...
Be well.

Thanks PJ. I was there, but John was on a different stage. It was opposite this one, tucked into the hill and didn't seem to take much/any damage. Unsure of what had happened.. We didn't see or hear the main stage issues until security escorted everyone out of the fest.. Karl Denson was about to go on before John..

Its across from Lord Elgin Hotel on the corner of Elgin and Slater st. Tell your friends and see you there if you can make it! we'll be somewhere near the fountain. Love, JB

Agreed. I'm back in texas now, but john takes care of his own. Big enough not too, but honorable enough to always do so.
Way to go jbt. I am there in spirit.

Are there any vids/tapes of this out there? I bet it was sooo soooo cool. Guerilla shows are one of the truly great things organized by social media.
HOpefully, JBT got a great showing out there which stirred up the "conservative norm" just a bit with his messages.
Class act JBT!
