Aug 2010: Booze Brother coming to town

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 31/8/2010 (3680 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.

I mentioned in a recent column that Dan Aykroyd is coming to Manitoba, and I've now got some of the details regarding where he'll be and when. Catch Elwood Blues (I prefer to think of him as Dr. Ray Stantz from Ghostbusters) at the Grant Park Liquor Mart on Saturday, September 11 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Brandonites can see Mr. Aykroyd the next day at the Liquor Mart at 10th and Victoria from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m..

In addition to Mr. Aykroyd's eponymous collection of wines, he'll also be promoting (and one would think autographing) Patron tequila and Crystal Head vodka.

I've got some feelers out as to whether he'll be hitting any Winnipeg blues bars/other venues while he's in town, but so far no word on whether there'll be any evening appearances by Mr. Aykroyd, harmonica in hand...

I'll have more later in the week, including where to buy wine and beer over the Labour Day weekend...
