This just in:
Brian is going to be flying to Saskatoon for the Nov. 7 Frank Black show where we will be hosting our 20th Podcast live. Why do you care? Because in Podcast 16, coming Oct. 1, we will be announcing a contest. The prize? A chance for you and one friend to meet Frank Black at the show. We'll be randomly drawing a few winners, so it should be a nice cozy group that have a chance to sit with - and who knows, maybe even hear a few songs from - the man.
If there are enough people interested in attending this special show, we will also host a bit of a pre-show get together to meet other FB.Net members and fans. We hope to meet a bunch of you in Saskatoon this fall, and thanks to FB for participating!
NOTE: Obviously we aren't paying flights, etc. We can hardly afford to fly Brian out here as it is. :)

Nah, in fact I'd probably buy more. I'm not sure why. Maybe I could get an autographed dancing bear. :)

Heh, oh no, it can't be moved. Though if it could, I might move it to my home.

The great thing is that Saskatoon is halfway between Edmonton and Montreal...

Aw geez, my duodenum's acting up.
I second this, Edmonton would be a much better choice. We can all swill Edmonton Berry wine and, like, totally chill at the mall. Maybe even chillax.

Hey I know what you mean!! All I said when I met him was "That's so cool!" I'M SUCH A DORK!! |

Yeah, not too bad from Toronto. Only about 30 hours or something. :)

I suspect that's Saskatoon Berry Syrup, not maple (maple tends to come from the east). It's quite delicious.
That would be a long drive no matter who's on the other side, K. But a quick flight. :)

How many hours is the drive from Montreal if Carolyn and Dean and speedy and Brian and Frank are on the other side? How many hours/days off from work/kilometers/liters of Saskatoon Maple Syrup are we talking about?

I don't want to meet Frank ever again. He is a ninja cobra knievel expert at making me feel retarded.
I have enough emotional problems. |

I won't be able to make it, it's a lot of $. But I think this is a great idea and hopefully the fourm can start doing more stuff like this.
I can't wait to see who wins. Hopefully everyone that wants to meet FB will have a chance to...best of luck to everyone :) |

Yeah, no pod required, broad desired. But yeah, you will need to listen at the very minimum to podcast 16 to enter. It might help you to listen to a few previous ones, too, but you could get by without. We will probably weight our random draw so that people who have the most answers have a better chance. Anything's possible with a little spreadsheet magic!

Broadcasts don't require a broad, but one may be helpful if you are lonely.

Podcasts don't require an iPod. You can download them and listen to them on your computer. |

Will the contest be open to people who aren't signed up for the podcast? I refuse to buy an iPod (or a cell phone, for that matter.) |

Posted - 09/27/2006 : 10:38:15
So I'll see you here?

Saskatoon was founded here because of the location in the river valley being exceptional. It became a hub city with major railways intersecting here early on, and grew really quickly. They put the university here not long after, and the rest as they say... is history.
Regina, I'm less sure. It eventually grew and became capital, in part because we got the university and in part because it was more southerly, and then they got a few things like the RCMP training hq and whatever that helped it grow. They're actually smaller than Saskatoon.
That's about all I know in a nutshell on the topic.

Say Dean, what are Regina and Saskatoon's raison-d'etre?
I think one is on the N. Saskatchewan and one on the S. Saskatchewan, but are there intersecting rivers? Forts?

The Agromedicine scholars are apparently working on how to get more fructose into corn syrup. |
