I met Gord Downie today! - Mr. Lahey - 06-20-2005

I had to share this experience with you guys! I'm still flipping out because I never thought in a million years I'd get to meet Gord. Here goes...

I was working security at Ontario Place today and in the water park I saw this guy walking around in his bathing suit with his daughters, and I went "holy crap this guy looks like Gord." so I went by him and just said "Gord?" He asked me my name and was very engaging.

He looked like he wanted to get moving so I didn't bother him much, but I asked if they are doing any shows in the area this year and he said probably live 8 on July 2nd.

I said "Any new stuff on the way?" and he said "ohh yeah!"

So that was my big moment folks. I was so excited afterwards, I kept telling all my coworkers afterwards. (amazingly some said, "who's that?" lol)

My apologies, I forgot to ask about the dvd, I only remembered afterwards.

Chancellor and I met Rob about 2.5 hours ago. Sounds like it was a good day for hanging with the boys.

Gord performs at Dundas Square, is interviewed on the 6 o'clock news, and goes to Ontario Place all in one day! That dude is really living the Toronto Life.
