You're probably right, but that's whack.
If they were to insist upon "no re-entry except during intermission", there would be no ticket re-selling issues whatsoever.
I mean....a) who's going to bother to arrage selling / buying tickets for the 2nd half of a show, and b) why should anyone care?

Are the 2 of you hitting this show?
That's what I've experienced in recent years, but I've never been to MH (or Toronto. Or Canada.
) I have no problem with "intermission only" smoking provisions. But I begin to run into problems late in Set #2 if I can't get a break!And yes, we'll be there!

Wow - we have people coming in from Ohio - and I have a friensd actually flying up from North Carolina for this.
Cool.
And don't forget your birth certificate if you don't have your passport.

It'll be interesting to hear what an American who's never been to Canada thinks regarding the differences between a stateside show and a Canadian one.
And yes, we'll be there!

Me thinks this show is going to be every Canadian Hip fan's wet dream...small venue, no opening act, 2 sets! Godamm I'm pumped up already! :jump :jump :jump

I've been to both - and there is no difference in a small venue. A crowd is a crowd is a crowd.

Mainly due to the fact that 75% of the people are probably from southern ontario/western ny. I still remember HOB Orlando in '02. Half the crowd was wearing, Molson, Roots or Bledsoe jerseys...remember him

Lol, sweet can't wait. Like Thip said, I don't see there being that huge a difference with the show this Friday but more with regards to the Massey shows (bigger venue, more casual fans). Either way, everybody enjoy and keep their eye out for the guy with a blonde ponytail/ red toque in his early 20's!

Cool that you guys are making the trip up! Maybe we'll run into each other at the show! Have a safe drive!

Massey Hall and Danforth Music Hall are incomparable...except for the fact that they both happen to be in Toronto

Here's an easy way to do that; just let him do all the driving and lead him to a beer trough when you get to TO. And nary a word will be heard from Mr. Esthete, to the world's detriment

I figure there's a good pub right near that we can hook up at for a beer.
