    Outskirts it is then! Will have to order it soon as I can. I am off to shovel snow for a family from S.C. that will arrive Thursday to make Alaska their new home! I'll turn them on to BR, certainly!! We have a guest house and a rental cabin whenever you do make it up here, Katiescarlet, if you need to get away from the humit hot weather! FLA is cool, love the color of the water at the Keys!

    Welcome to the board, ArcticWildflower!  Perhaps you should offer Blue Rodeo use of your accomodations, in return for a local show, AW!  Perhaps you can get an audience through your local radio station, and promote a charity event to benefit from part of the ticket sales!  Don't know if you could do it, but it might be worth a try!  This band loves to visit new and interesting places, and I hear Alaska has some very beautiful scenery!


    I carry with me the memory of a field I once knew, of a night so full of stars that I was left humbled by it's endless beauty. I know that whatever the cost, life is worth living. So bring it on...I can take it.

    Hmmm, good idea for some areas in AK but not Central, we have about 100 people who live here, LOL. Fort Yukon has 600 and a radio station, they do fund raisers, etc. They have a music festival in Aug and always hoping for more different bands to come up. I can definitely work on it, we have a flying service....yeah, we could put them up and fly them there to play a few days there;-)) Whoo-hoo, can't wait!! Ha, ha, ha...I wonder if they will go for it? I tried to get Kashtin up here years ago and they wanted $10,000 just to come up and play. Nobody could afford that. Our Fort Yukon station reaches 5-6 outlying communities, roughly 1500 people. It might be worth trying to get them up here. Good idea;-)

    Wouldn't that be awesome!!!

    Seeing them live would only further cement your adoration of the band. I can hardly wait until the next time I see them and I hate to think it might be another year. Sad

    Re: Why are Alaskans not familiar with Blue Rodeo?

    Dang, if that's all it takes...then I should send one too!!! LOL! But of course some of the best part of coming home is seeing my buds!

    Re: Why are Alaskans not familiar with Blue Rodeo?

    Katiescarlet, it was actually a long convincing letter as to why I feel coming to Alaska would benefit the band and the local musicians in the Interior, along with my offer to put them up, etc. and sugar coated with all the nice things any big fan would want to say to them;-) I am sure their e-mail gets screened pretty heavily before they even see it, but it was worth a try. If it spawns a tour it was a big success.
