So, you actually prefer high fructose corn syrup and caramel coloring to 100% genuine maple syrup?Okay, so I can tell from all the "likes" and views that this thread is gaining tremendous amounts of traction already, just nip things in the bud, I'm going to answer some FAQs I've received, or anticipate receiving:
FAQ:
Q: This is Bluesfest? Are there any notable blues acts?
A: There is no blues at Bluesfest. Silly question. There is lots of alcohol and other acts performing, like Nelly...There is also this guy (pictured below), Marco Benevento, and he look a bit like Kid Rock, so there is that too.

Q: Where is Ottawa?
A: Well, Cowtown, Ottawa is the Capital of Canada and home to professional hockey team the Ottawa Senators. If you drive up I-81 and follow the Tim Horton's you should be there in 3 hours from pretty much any starting point.
Q: Do you use American currency up there?
A: In Canada they have their own money, but do accept USD. Also, the money is differentiated by colors, not denomination, so you pay by color. They do put numbers on the money to help foreigners as well though.
For example, if you're buying a shirt, it will cost two purples and a green. (That's $40 CAD)

Q: Do I have to like REAL maple syrup to enjoy a trip to Ottawa?
A: You don't have to, but it helps. I happen to like Aunt Jemima, I get laughed at a lot, and people point, but they're not going to kick you out of the country for it.
Q: If you commit a crime up there, what happens?
A: Nobody knows yet. The crime rate is still 0%.
I'll try to keep answering questions as they arise!
