No difference ... I'm from Nova Scotia so was happy to go.
The Sound Academy is the former "Docks". It's hard for Gord and I to get to as it's off the beaten path on the east side of the city ... we had to take a streetcar, subway, bus and walk to get there (about an hour). We took a cab home in less than 20 minutes ... definitely worth the $20!
Here's the view from the Sound Academy looking towards downtown.
There was a DJ who played music. Considering it was an east coast themed night, they played very few tunes from there :(
Randy from the Nova Scotia-based show Trailer Park Boys came on at 9:30pm. He doesn't usually wear a shirt and he was telling us that it was bothering his nipples.
Nova Scotia fiddling legend, Ashley MacIsaac, came out at 10:30pm and played four songs.
It is Ashley's 36th birthday today and Mr. Lahey and Randy brought a cake on stage for him.
We left about 11pm when Mr. Lahey and Randy came back on. It was still packed!
Here's a video of one of Ashley's more popular hits from the past:

Yes definitely go back inthe summer! I recall spending many Sunday afternoons at the then Docks ... friends would pull up with their boats along the dock and we got sailing then back to enjoy the sun set ... it really is beautiful. Hopefully with all the expansion going on in the area... the issue of getting there will be resolved...
It crazy snow up in Caledon today .. hope your trek in the city is much better,...HHL
Ahh sounds like an interesting Maritime evening. We were supposed to get a storm too, still waiting on it. Have a good weekend.
It sounds very interesting to me. Great evening!
