01:09 Kim Hey Lila!
01:09 chanson Hi Lila!
01:10 Kim OK let me paste my news here for you all.
01:10 Kim The Saturday Lineup: Peter Elkas, Roddy Hart, Darrell Scott, Ted Bishop, (spoken word), Tom Rush, Todd Babiuk (spoken word), Serena Ryder, Jann Arden, emceed by Kate Hammett-Vaughan

01:11 lklassen BUT everyone can check out the new page for themselves as it is now working (I hope): http://www.leonardcohennights.com/2008.html
01:11 Kim Cool!
01:11 Kim Friday night Vicky Hynes, Karla Anderson and Ann Vriend are in the hospitality suite. At the same time Peter Elkas, Roddy Hart, Darrell Scott, and Tom Rush will be doing a “songwriter in the round” performance at the Masonic Hall with own tunes and some Cohen. We assume most fan registrants will opt for Vicky Hynes, Karla Anderson and Ann Vriend that night.
01:11 Kim Now that LC tour details have been announced registrations for our event have picked up again. The list is not real time, but requires human intervention, so there is a delay in posted registrant list. we are limited to 300 registrants. Leonard is giving a very special gift, I think better than he has ever given, and there will only be 300 of them. 300 also is about the capacity of hospitality room etc. His art will be on display here also, really nice the synchronicity of that!
01:12 Kim The house band is going to be amazing! Drummer Gary Craig from Anne Murray’s band has signed on with enthusiasm http://www.brucecockburn.org/interview_with_gary_craig.htm Darrell Scott is also awesome! http://www.darrellscott.com/

01:36 lklassen The schedule is nice and open, with lots of time to do your own thing if you want - most events/tours run multiple times, in case you miss the first one. Over all, we’ve tried to cover the major attractions of edmonton - from the mall to the river valley, from Cohen’s history in Edmonton to the modern canadian musicians growing from cohenic roots
01:37 Kim Lots of diverse inputs from very good people has given us a really great program overall!
01:39 tweets wow
