I hope everyone here remembers that the next time he is booked or releases a CD.
meh it happens.
Toronto was the end of his tour wasn;t it? maybe he was just beat and wanted to rest and see his family? who knows... though more notice and proper explanation would have been nice
in his defence, I have other freinds that have booked him and they all said he was a really nice and down to earth guy.
but ya... he had no problems at the border and nothing to do with Guv not sorting his permit.

Thats fine if he was exhausted from touring or whatever and wanted a rest..but a little more than 2-3 hour notice would've been appreciated!
Does anyone know when the Guv first heard about BT not showing? I'm sure they let everyone know as late as possible...
If I would've known he wasn't coming, I would've thought twice about going, or maybe heading somewhere else.

considering that BT didn't play in Detroit the night before, I imagine that Guv knew.

perhaps.. but i can garauntee that if they found out it was less then 24 hours notice.
cancellations happen from time to time.. but kinda crappy to cancel with no explanation, with even a few days notice, after so many thousands of dollars are put into promoting you. but either way... it's been done.. what can ya do.
it's a shame to.. cause he was supposed to be doing a REAL live set and not just playing a premixed set off a laptop like he's done before.

I can understand why the Guv wouldn't release any info as i'm sure they would've lost enough business that night if it was know that BT wasn't a show. The place was PACKED...

But it was worse then normal. Especially throughout the entire night. It was packed right till they closed! I guess everyone wanted to get their money's worth haha..
Not to mention some killer beats at the end...

And if they knew but didnt state so when they found out (ie. NOT wait utnil the NIGHT OFF and just post some signs on the wall around 9 or 10pm), thats fucking WEAK in my opinion of Guvy!

That's what I'm thinking is what happened...I hope BT actually releases a statement on his website or forum so can actually know what happened.

I recall dave seaman missing his flight back in May. I showed up and the drink was packed so I went to the front to see the tiny letterhead posting saying he had cancelled.
THAT SUCKED ASS TOO.
The good news was that I went to sonic and tripped my balls off to Chus and Ceballos instead

Everyone knows why Dresden had boarder problems ... plus, it's only half of the crew. You still got to see Gabriel
