Slugfest RustFest (Toronto area) (Kitchener, Ontario, June 28, 1997)
Your Host - Dave Slug Fielder
Pre-Fest Notice
The Fest Call was put out by Dave Slug Fielder....
Hi-dilly-ho, neighbours!
This is the announcement for a little "get together" to be held on
June 28th at my place. Nothing too fancy, just a chance to hang out with
other Rusties and hopefully have a good time. There's still lots of time
to drop all your other plans and come on down, and what could be more
important than hangin' with your fellow Rusties?
This fest has been officially dubbed the "Slugfest" by our always
radiant Mary Lonesome Whistle Maguire in reference to me, your humble
host. Don't be fooled by that, though, it is still to celebrate Neil &
NOT ME. Of course, if you want to celebrate me, I like my cake
chocolate. ;-)
Here are the W5's for ya:
- Where:
- Chateau de Slug
22 Bonfield Place Apt.14
Kitchener, Ontario, Canada (about a hour west of Toronto)
- When: June 28th starting at 8pm
- What should you bring:
- BYOB and maybe some munchies
- Why:
- to celebrate all things Neil, to meet your fellow Rusties
If you would like to come, just let me know. I can give directions to
anyone who needs 'em. Otherwise, just follow the smell of Oktoberfest
sausages!
Any phone enquiries can be made to me, Slug (I also respond to the name
"Dave Fielder"), at (519)743-2796.
So come on out. A splendid time is guaranteed for all!

Sure was fun... lots of cool things to listen too... neat
cartoons... good tarts. Arrived at around 7:00. Mary, Kato
and I and the rocking just hasn't stopped...
Oh and I heard Ordinary People for the first time and
they didn't play Sedan Delivery But I had fun.... ---Tipper
- Kato:
-
I'd like to say that I had nothing to do with the playing or singing of
Dead Puppies. However, I did enjoy the delicious Slug-pizza and
appreciated Slug overcoming the incredible heat and humidity of
Kitchener to produce his famous microscopic butter tarts. And I did
enjoy playing for some two hours with Mr. Slug himself.... ---kato
- Love In Mind:
-
Well, I didn't really contribute much to this fest, except to eat Dave's
munchies, enjoy all the tunes, and make lame jokes. Dave treated us to
Boney M's version of Heart Of Gold (the disco mix),
which I thought wasn't half bad, and we also listened to a rare take of
Neil's unreleased song Sell Out (done by Yellow Hand).
Thanks Dave! ---Zain
- Lonesome Whistle:
-
Highlights of Slugfest were (in this order):
- the tarts

- Dead Puppies.
Dave? ---Mary
Please, help me get these people out of my apartment! I just had it
de-loused, dammit!
Seriously, it's 3:30 in the morning and I must say that it has been my
pleasure having these people over. Hey, anybody with Reese's Pieces,
ju-jubes, Pringle's etc. is always welcome here!
- Here's an Update from Mary & Tipper:
-
we've crossed the stupid-line. Good nidiofhght........nmlu6r.booze
Thanx for the update! Anyways, maybe it's just the beer
talking, but I love these guys! Yeah, it's the beer...
But on a serious note,
Slug
