Cross posting for reference: 4 hours ago, Captain SK said: I don't know what bears and dragons have to do with our nation's capital Ottawa. Just my opinion and somewhat of a question... It's not a bear, it's a Mishibizhiw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_panther "An underwater panther, called Mishipeshu or Mishibijiw in Ojibwe (IPA: [mɪʃɪbɪʑɪw]), is one of the most important of several mythological water beings among many indigenous peoples of the Northeastern Woodlands and Great Lakes region, particularly among the Anishinaabe. Mishipeshu translates into "the Great Lynx". It has the head and paws of a giant cat but is covered in scales and has dagger-like spikes running along its back and tail.[not verified in body] Mishipeshu calls Michipicoten Island in Lake Superior his home and is a powerful creature in the mythological traditions of some Native American tribes, particularly Anishinaabe tribes, the Odawa, Ojibwe, and Potawatomi, of the Great Lakes region of Canada and the United States.[1][2] In addition to the Anishinaabeg, Innu also have Mishibizhiw stories." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I knew was that it couldn't just be a puma or a bear because it has antlers sticking out of its head! But every day I learn something new is a good day!

Captain SK Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Can anyone confirm that the official GnR merchandise trailers outside the Canadian venues accept credit cards? I want to go down for 1 pm and buy my litho and come back home prior to the show and drop it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they will already be selling merchandise at 1pm though. Seems to vary from city to city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The booth was open at 1 when I arrived but that may have been venue specific as you could go thru security and ticketing at that time only to be queuing for next 4+ hours until they open the gates for everyone to rush in.

Thats really cool. Good investigating! Someone in other thread mentioned that the dragon could be reference to this performannce art that happened recently in Ottawa. A huge mechanical dragon fought a huge mechanical spider. The performance was the creation of a new myth that the cities extensive work on an LRT line had stirred a sleeping dragon. Basically representing the anxieties of progress. This Mishibizhiw mythology might confirm the dragon is a about the new myth? That they are both based on local mythologies? Ottawa is on a tract of unceded territory of the Algonquins, who are Anashnaabek. There is no Treaty, the land was never surrendered. Talks are underway for a modern day treaty.

On 2017-08-21 at 8:41 AM, Miller1254 said: Powderfinger, They did not have a tube available in Montreal. In fact, it was a struggle just to get an elastic. I did bring a garbage bag to store them in, but the Official Merch tent outside of Security was open by 1pm when I arrived. I uber'd back to hotel room (after a 30 mins walk backtracking) to drop of lithos. It was well worth the sacrifice of time, sweat, fare and some position in the pit, to double back. I can not see how you can keep them protected unless you have a poster tube to store them in. And I doubt most venues would allow you to bring a poster tube through security. I will measure the litho size tonight, but believe they are 18x24 inches and sturdy paper/stock. Thank you kind people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep getting an image of some sort of Bonnie and Clyde painting but I know it's only the addition of the gun that is giving me those thoughts. I'm sure the original its based on doesn't have the dude holding a gun but I'll be damned if I can figure it out. I'm trying to figure out what else he could be holding if it's not a gun.
