Liam Sanagan in Concert

Liam gained many new fans with his outstanding performances at Summerfolk. We are eager to hear songs from his excellent debut recording, and new material by this innovative and exciting young songwriter and performer!

Liam has been hard- and soft-rocking in small Canadian bands for years, and has finally begun to release some of his own addictive pop songs under his own moniker, ‘LUM’. The songs incorporate a wide variety of influences, from Bob Dylan to Kanye West. What results is an intelligent mix of bedroom pop and club-banger; where brain meets booty.

Lazer Runner Owen Sound

January 4, 2010

There’s a great new place in Owen Sound to have some fun. You can get a group of friends together and go play laser tag at LaZer Runner Owen Sound. Doesn’t matter if you’re old or young… incredibly co-ordinated or a sports ninja… it’s fun for everyone, not matter what age or agility level.

My son recently had a birthday. He had played laser tag before and thought it would be a great way to celebrate his birthday. He invited a couple friends, his sister and one of her good friends. They had a ball. The boys kicked some serious butt the first game, so after that they started mixing things up. There are 7 exciting game scenarios to choose from.

A little about laser tag:
The arena floor houses barriers where players can hide from their opponents. Music, sound effects and simulated fog will fill the air.

Each participant wears a lightweight fibre optic vest and is equipped with a phaser.

The aim is to “tag” the vests of opposing team members with a laser beam as many times as possible during a 10-minute game, while also protecting against opposing shots.

A tagged player is disarmed for five seconds. Sentry pods, which are located in the middle of the arena floor, also fire lasers at players, creating another obstacle.

The phaser emits a radio signal that records each player’s score, based on the number of successful hits, minus tags from an opponent. There are two “home bases” on the arena floor, which can be invaded by opposing teams.

Did I play, not this time… I figured they’d all gang up on the old girl… but be sure that next time I will!

LaZer Runner Owen Sound is located 1125 8th Street East, Owen Sound (in front of The Brick).

Hours: Wednesday – Friday 3:30 pm – 9:00 pm; Saturday 1:00 pm – 9:00 pm; Sunday 1:00 pm – 8:00 pm; Snow and PD days 1:00 pm – 9:00 pm. Call first to be sure of the hours. 226-664-0119.

Thanks Norm! The kids had a fantastic time.
