Juno Week is upon us, and today was just the beginning. Ruckus on the Edge kicked off with a ceremony at the Confederation Building, and “Random Acts of Music” across the city. I didn’t get out to see any, but if you did, comment away in the comments.
Today was also the day that that production crews got into the Mile One Center to start putting up the stage, the lights, and whatever else 18 tractor trailer trucks hold. I went down and got the skinny on the action from producer Louise Woods, who spends most of her year making sure one night goes off just right.
I also talked to Melanie Berry, president and CEO of CARAS, who told me that they released another 200 tickets this morning. If you wanted to go to the broadcast event, but didn’t make it to the ticket counter in the first 14 minutes, here’s your chance. They’ll be releasing new tickets every day, all week.
If you don’t make it into Mile One, organizers are hoping you’ll head downtown anyway, to the Junos on George, “an unprecedented street party.” The fun will be broadcast live on CTV, and they are confident that 4000 people will be down there for the event. Tickets are $20 and available as of two days ago.
What do you think? What are you excited about? What do you want from me, your humble Juno reporter? Put it all in the comments!
