WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well after my failed attempt at the CBC show I decided to get back on the horse and try again...this time with no tickets in hand and no hotel booked and a 4 hour roadie ahead of me.
So I checked in to the Holiday Inn and paid waaaaaay too much for a room and headed out to the Horseshoe in the hopes of a miracle. After about 40 minutes and starting to feel quite dejected I met 2 incredible girls and a great guy who were kind enough to bring me into their group and get me in the door. And once in there I couldn't believe what was happening. Mark my words I will probably never be able to see this band in a venue like that again, and to hear it on the day of the release of such a great album, to get to hear all of the songs off that album...it really was something special.
Along with getting in the door these girls were able to get me backstage access after the show and I had the pleasure to hang out with them, drink some more Labatt 50's and chill out with some really great people. Gord S was an absolute class act and a hell of a great guy.
Like I said it was one of those nights that you just won't be forgetting any time soon. It was great to see BigA again and to meet TLB (Tony) you're both really solid guys. Hope to run into you again soon.
