Press Release - GAC to Teach Art of Crowd-Sourcing

Crowd source funding has been in the news lately thanks to the success of the Kickstarter campaign for a movie based on the cult classic TV show Veronica Mars.

The Guelph Arts Council is presenting the event and has sent around the below press release.

Press Release - City Wants Tourism Input

Last year's decision by city council to essentially privatize tourism services was bold, yet not necessarily well thought out in terms of the implications. Well, I guess it's time to get down to the implications. 

The Show Must - And Must Not - Go On

As the weather situation continues to pay havoc with people's schedules, the City's been sending updates about shows currently scheduled for tonight in the Royal City.

Uh Oh, Spaghettios!

To be filed under the: "Well, That's Weird," and the "Holiday Hangover" categories, I got this release from the City this morning.

GUELPH, ON, May 19, 2009 – River Run Centre’s main stage sustained water damage from an unexpected flood in the theatre Monday, May 18. River Run Centre has closed the large theatre (Main Stage) for the next few days in the interest of public safety, to assess the extent of the water damage, and to establish a repair schedule.

As a result, the Cynthia Dale concert, scheduled for Wednesday, May 20, will be postponed. The new date will be confirmed shortly.

Once a full external assessment is complete River Run Centre staff will know if any other upcoming Main Stage events will need to be rescheduled or moved to an alternate venue. Should the Main Stage be unavailable to user groups River Run will make every effort to accommodate their needs in an alternate space within the facility.

All other events scheduled for either the Co-operators Hall or the Canada Company Hall will carry on as planned.

Too bad about the fabulous Ms. Dale. But I'd sure like to know how the stage at the River Run got flooded.
