SMorgy Smadly Smancelled

January 23, 2013 Scooped By: Andre [4 Comments]

First having to cancel day one, the two day SMorgy event in Halifax has been canceled in full now. Here is a statement from Kevin:

Dear Would-Be SMorgy Attendees,

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the canceling of this weekend’s SMorgy event. The blame for this lies solely with me: first I had to kill Sunday for the TV thing that came out of nowhere, and now I’ve gotta cancel Saturday as well.

Saturday’s cancellation is a bit of JERSEY GIRL coming back to haunt me: my daughter Harley entered a battle of the bands last week and has moved on to the finals. The show is this weekend, same time as SMorgy. Had I not been the guy who made Ben Affleck’s character give up a great job opportunity just to see his daughter’s school play, I wouldn’t be making this call. But she’s 13 years old, she’s never played before a crowd this large, and I’ve only got one kid: if I miss this moment to tell dick jokes with friends half a world away, I’m a bigger asshole than if I cancel the event. So stuck between and rock and a hard place, I apologize – I gotta do the Dad thing here.

You see kids? It’s just like your parents always told you: There’s a consequence to having sex.

Love,
Kevin Smith

All tickets will be refunded by etixnow. Despite efforts to keep the event alive, Sonic Concerts apologizes for the inconvenience to all ticket holders.

    Dude, never apologize for being a dad. You just went up 100 points in my book.

    Dude. Fair enough. Priorities an all that. Family before Work. Good choice, now go forth and roll one up.

    Right idea, wrong time, and wrong place. Try it again, but this time, try it in the continental U.S. like NJ!!! And in better weather or hook up with a cruise line company and set up a Smorgy Cruise Weekend.
