Is anyone planning to get together before or after the show on saturday? I'm coming up from hamilton with a friend maybe around lunchtime to get in line, or just to hang out if standing in line sucks. It would be cool if someone brought a guitar or something.

Hmm... aren't all the venues on this tour just as small? And people have still been lining up early...?

i suppose if you want front row than you should probably wait in line.

i live pretty close to the venue though, and i'm sure any spot will be good, so i don't think i'll be going until after the doors open.

I have to go to a wedding in the afternoon so i'll probably miss the opening act and show up a bit late.

I was wondering about line times too... if I were to try for right up front, how early would you suggest I go?

I scoped out the place on the weekend and there's not really anywhere to line up. You have to go through College Park which is sort of like an office building for those who don't know, and then up an elevator to the top floor. And I doubt they'll let people line up inside so it'd probably just be going down yonge street. Which would be a shitty place to line up for a few hours. Looks like an interesting venue though. Unless they'd let you up to the top and have some kind of waiting area up there but I doubt that. I was wondering how early people are gonna be there. I want a place close to the front but not to where the moshing assholes are crushing my ribs.

No, I realized later on what he meant. I originally thought he was making a sarcastic comment that people would be moshing to "I'm Ready" and there would be little girls crying for Billy. But I was wrong!

Also, I was referring to you picking on me on the board but nevermind, not important.

If you absolutely have to be front row, then yeah line up for a couple hours. But I doubt it'll be hard to get a good spot in the floor no matter when you show up.

awesome... thanks very much for the help!

Yeah, it says "DOORS OPEN" at 8 so there won't be any indoor line up. I don't want to line up at all, so if no one does, then I won't have to.
Ok. So let's all be there at 8 pm. sound good? yes? ok.

So there could be like a lineup to the elevator inside that takes you up but I really doubt that the building would allow that. They probably won't let anyone up there til 8. Unless there's a massive waiting area.

Yeah...hopefully not though. My hotel's down the street, so I'll probably pop out every once and awhile to see how the hardcore los-...fans are doing.


Also, does anyone think an expired ID will be a big deal? They're really sticky about it at casinos and liquor stores so I don't know....

Too bad we don't have Netphoria shirts that say FU! cause the only other theme I can think of is Zwan shirts. SP shirts would be kinda tacky.. unless it was the END shirt.

Dude, that was one cool T-shirt. The girl at the place where I let them make, she was so enthusiastic about it, you should see her - chances are she made herself the fourth one.

The mysterious 4th shirt. Maybe it's real, maybe not. We should hold an annual concert in the hopes that it will reveal itself. We'll call the event "4th Shirt".

What the fuck are you talking about? I'm a 'blind defender' because I bought tickets for a show because I enjoyed the CD? Sorry I didn't go to great lengths to 'show' Billy how bitter I am about his current music by purchasing tickets and funding his current endeavors.

God, some of you people are mental. I won't be communicating with any of you anyways, so why would this be something I cared about at all?

so i just went to check that Carlu place. I mean is that correct there are only 2 elevators going up to the theatre? I couldn't find any stairs.

I mean it will take a while till you transport around 1000 people by two elevators.

I willl come around 7.45 first, anyway.

i ended up getting balcony seats because the person i'm going with doesn't feel like standing (at least they're good seats), so i'm probably going to show up around 7:30.

I was thinking about wearing my SP cross shirt... i don't think it'll be that big of a deal now that the "revival" has been announced, but i dunno... maybe i'll just go with my Fender shirt instead *shrugs*

I'll be wearing a tan silverchair shirt (lolz) and blue shorts. I'll be looking shaggy as usual. Mike's got a red weezer shirt and looks like the singer from cuff the duke. We will be rocking front and centre stage the second we get there.
