**1st off for the past few blasts I've mentioned the Brantford Hockeyfest
http://www.brantfordhockeyfest.com/
Contrary to popular belief it's not a Hockey Tournament
IT'S A CONCERT!!! Remember attending those?
So basically I'm letting you know 3 things.
#1 Brantford is 40 only mins away from KW
#2 The ticket price for 4 bands is less than a Toronto price for one band (& you can pay w/PayPal -that's cool!)
#3 You also have a chance to win a pair of tickets by going to http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=120685491301566 & reading the wall daily
So if you have your tickets, send me a message, we can try to meetup!**
