So, here’s a question: How come everyone in the greater Edmonton area knew about this giant tent on 107 St., except me?
On twitter, folks are like, “Oh yeah, that’s just the party tent they put up downtown every year.” WHAT?! This is a thing? And not only is it a thing, it’s a thing that has apparently been around so long, you guys are all jaded and blase about it?
Well, call me Pollyanna, but IT’S A GIANT TENT DOWNTOWN. A GIANT TENT CONSTRUCTED PURELY SO THAT IT MIGHT BE FILLED WITH PARTIES. That impresses me. (Incidentally, it also impresses me that our buddy Rene went out of his way to provide photographic evidence that a tent is indeed being erected (hee hee) in the downtown area. Thanks man!)
Obviously, my interest is now piqued, and I would like more information about this “party tent”. I visited its website and its facebook page, but it doesn’t really explain who built the tent, where they came from, or what their motives might be. There is, however, a list of upcoming tent performances, and opportunities to apply for jobs inside of the tent. There are also photos of girls inside the tent in bikinis, girls inside the tent kissing, and musical performers. And Dennis Rodman…wait, what?
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON INSIDE OF THAT TENT?!
Anyway, the party tent is on twitter, and it has recently tweeted that there will be a kickoff party going on inside of it tomorrow night. Any more details you guys could give me would greatly appreciated.
Tell me the July 24th lineup is a joke. Tell me y’all were playing with Photoshop. Please. That’s just terrifying.
You had me at “girls inside the tent in bikinis”…
I verify that the pictures posted are indeed real lol
Joke, or dream come true?
We alerted nothing. :o
In absolute seriousness, if I didn’t have a wild fear of tents, I would be the first one in line for that show. I loved Young MC when I was little.
Not to be “that guy,” but the girls in the gallery aren’t really “kissing” so much as they’re “pretending to kiss so that the creeper with the camera will leave them alone”…
ha ha, are you suggesting that guys with cameras would be like “what? girls kissing, gross!” because if so, i think you’re mistaken.
LMFAO isn’t bad, either. They’re from out east.
Bust a move, Sally. It’s “The Maestro” that scares me. I got free tickets a few years ago when he was touring small towns/venues with Vanilla Ice on some kind of “let’s come back from the dead” tour. All the whiskey in the world couldn’t have made that show even somewhat bearable.
Were they in a tent?! IT COULD BE A CLUE!
Yeah, I’m mostly just curious who is doing this? Like, clearly Budweiser, but is it affiliated with the city? Is it a private event? and YES, I could email them and ask, but I thought I’d check with you guys first, because clearly I was way W-A-Y out of the loop on this.
Hold up now. MINI-ME?!? This is just too good.
Not in a tent, no. In a crappy club in Saskatchewan. It is interesting there’s no indication who organizes it. Likely a big promoter/promotions company and a whole lot of corporate sponsors. I’d be interested to know too.
Sally, I know who’s behind the tent (they sent me a news release on it).
But I’m not going to tell you.
You’re going undercover, as a girl who kinda, almost kisses other girls for creepers like Derjis. And you will interview Young MC for the edmonontian.
I might be totally wrong here, but I always assumed that it was set up by the par-tay consortium that owns The Bank, Oil City, etc…
As the blase party-tent expert (being that I’ve partied inside said party tent, the first year such party-tent existed), let me just say… It’s a tent. It houses a party. Not really much of a big deal.
But I totally saw Adam Gregory there. And it was aces.
the tent just invited me to a press junket.
i will let you guys know if i decide to go.
