Management Subject: Re: sarah's saturday shows Hello Soupers - Here's the info that I have: 2pm there's a "song swap" workshop with Sarah, Hawksley Workman, Lynn Miles and Scott Merritt 3:15pm is Sarah's set time The venue (River Run Centre) is at 35 Woolwich Street in Guelph. The venue's phone # is 519 763 3000. I don't know what the cover is, or any other scheduling. Hope that's helpful. Very best, Heather. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2000 11:25:46 -0400 From: "James McGarry" Subject: Re: sarah's saturday shows - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Schreiber" To: "Navy Soup" Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2000 10:46 AM Subject: sarah's saturday shows > what is the schedule for the songwriter's showcase on saturday? can > someone post directions, cost and a schedule? $15 for the matinee... which is I think the only one Sarah will be at. It _seems_ expensive, but it's the _cheapest_ thing the River Run Centre has ever done. (I know a community centre where the minimum ticket price is around $40, go figure...) I can't find a schedule anywhere, I'm thinking it's the song trading idea where there are mulitple ppl on stage at any one time. c.f. Hillside's showcases. Directions, from the 401 (from East (Toronto) take the 2nd Guelph exit, just past the Schneider's sign (The Bacon Beacon); from London (West) take the 1st Guelph exit, if you drive by the Bacon Beacon, you've gone too far. The exist runs into the Hanlon Expressway, take the Hanlon about 12km to Wellington St. Exit, follow Wellington (east) along the Speed River into town (it's between 6 and 8 stop lights), you'll drive past a covered footbridge (at Gordon St.), a bunch of fast food places, you'll then go under a train bridge (dedicated to John Galt)(at Macdonell St.), the River Run Centre will be just ahead on your left. It's a modern looking non-descript building, made to offend as few people as possible. Wellington turns into Woolwich right about here. From Highway 7, take the Hanlon to Wellington, turn left (east) as the exit hits Wellington, it's under construction, so you may have to zip down highway 24 a bit and turn around. From Highway 24, stay on 24. The River Run Centre is right on Highway 24 as it cuts through town. Do not use metered parking w/o paying. You will get a ticket. (Welcome to Guelph - No Parking at Anytime.) There's no real parking near the River Run Centre. There's several metered spots along Woolwich and Macdonell. Places to eat. Fast food alley on your way up from Wellington... Wendy's, KFC, Taco Bell, etc. Angels: Wellington St. - ok food, 50's diner style, pricey for what you get. The Albion: corner of Macdonell and Gordon St. A Guelph landmark, it looks like a dive, hell it _is_ a dive. But the good is great and cheap. The Black Mustard, Wyndam Steet, just off Macdonell. Very good food, classy, expensive, Emm Gryner opened for Rufus Wainwright there. Curry in a Hurry. (corner of Cork and Gordon) Curry, it takes a little longer than _hurry_ but it's very good. Sarah and Jen run a nice place. Cheap for what you get. For Mapquest directions the River Run Centre is pretty much at the corner of Macdonell and Wellington/Woolwich. Entering 35 Woolwich will give you a lot of choices, most incorrect. Phone number is 519-763-3000 Basically: Wyndam--+--------------Eramosa (24 N) | Woolwich | RRC Macdonnl-+------ Elizabeth | 24S-------/ Wellington (to Hanlon/401) Hope this isn't too confusing. Downtown is where a lot of streets change names, Macdonell runs into Elizabeth. Eramosa to Wyndam, Wellington to Woolwich to Norfolk, etc. The River Runs Centre is also a 2 minute walk from Go Trains/Greyhound Buses.
