The Hideout in Toronto

Post by Herbo »

The Hideout has an event coming up sponsored by MGD, among others. Sounds like it'll be a wicked night. Two bands playing Young Rival and Creature.

more details for the event plus RSVP link --> HERE

see you there, perhaps!

Is it alright, if I am only one collar cool, or do I have to be two collars cool to get into this event?

With respect, Herbo you might want to invest the ten or so minutes of research in actually knowing who you are speaking to before posting on a web forum - all publicity is good publicity, but yours is mainly good to make fun of.

See you later, perhaps.

The really puzzling thing is that the link for Young Rival - allegedly a band playing at this fantastic event - goes to something about kids' sports. Huh?

Young Rival are great. Note that the band name is not plural (fail #1). Two, the hideout is not such a good bar for beer advocates or music appreciators. (please fix the monitor system... if the band cannot hear themselves, the few people in the audience will not care to listen).

Promoting bands on this site is probably a good thing. Most people I know from this forum really dig music of all genres. However, you will loose 110% of your audience on this site by promoting MGD....

I'm not sure about that. Last weekend I was at an event sponsored by Molsons to push their 67 beer. They gave away many cases that ended up untouched. Most people preferred to buy their own beer than drink that crap for free. These were typical macro drinkers that turned their noses up at it! In the end, it was piss poor marketing since now there are about a hundred people who got to find out for free how bad it was and will never drink it or recommend it.
We have to thank Molson for the "try before ever buying it again offer" but it also proves that any publicity is not always good publicity.

I'm always game for 5 times micro filtered smoothness served in a frozen mug with ice slush to accompany! :) I'm so there!

The tap handle has to look awesome too! Shoot fire and spit nickels or something.
