I'll be wearing a pixies concert t-shirt. Come to think of it that probably wont help. Ok I'll be wearing a shirt that says "I am Bacons Biatch" on it. That should narrow it down. |

Hey Mattb, no dude, I'm staying with some family. No need for me to impose. I do still feel I owe you a pint for the Winnipeg tickets, so yeah for Lonestar or afterwards. |

Matt, yea remember you took our picture?

I met a tonne of fans as well and can't remember there names.. I think some of the fans in Winnipeg also made it out to Vancouver.. what an awesome trip that was. I'm surprised there was so little interest in the Detroit shows... the State Theatre show on the 18th was totally awesome! |

Yup at the Lonestar, look at my post above.
How about we meet around 2:00 there? That would give us a few hours to hang out.

Hey Matt. I'm still in Toronto, and Barb and I are definitely going to the Wednesday show. Are people still planning to meet before, or just after? |

Sorry. I'm in for the Lone Star and so is the lady! Thanks Matt! |

Lone Star sounds good to me - I mean, hey if it has a smoking lounge and a bar I can't complain. Matt, are you gonna be all decked out with professional camera gear?

If it has seperate venitalition then it's legal.
Audiodr, I did the same thing as you yesterday but realized that all the palces they list as near by are not withing walking distance. Most are at least a kilometer away. I didn't notice that out of the blue place but it think that's our best option. Unfortunately I just called them and they won't be open that day. The woman at administration recommended another place to me that is about 3KM away. We could meet there and then take a cab over to the show. She said we could walk but it would take a little while. I looked on the site and noticed that right next to it is a Lone Star though and that place has pretty good food although it still has the sports bar atmosphere. So my point is what does everyone thing about going to LoneStar? We would have to take a short cab right after but it seems at least to me to be aour best bet. It's located on the corner of Dixon and Carlingview and here is a the map for it. To give you some perspective, Arrow Hall is just up the street at Derry and Airport Road. http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?country=US&countryid=US&addtohistory=&searchtab=address&searchtype=address&address=930+Dixon+Road&city=mississauga&state=ON&zipcode=&search=++Search++

"Smoking lounge"? Is that still legal? Or does Mississauga play by different rules? |

okie... I did a bit of poking around on the international centre's website and found some useful information about onsite and nearby restaurants. Onsite, they apparently have a licensed restaurant called "Out of the Blue". Sounds like a sports restaurant/bar to me promoting Labatt's which probably isn't very appropriate for a bunch of punk rock fans....nevertheless, it's an option:
http://www.internationalcentre.com/main/fac_rest.htm
There's also a decent sized list of nearby places, most of which are family restaurants, but after reading through the descriptions, the "Seasons restaurant and lounge" caught my eye after I read that they have a Smoking Lounge featuring a fireplace and mahogany paneling (panelling??), as well as satellite televisions and a fine selection of draft beers, bottled beers, single malt Scotch (mmm scotch and beer!), cognac, liqueurs and cocktails. The list can be found here:
http://www.internationalcentre.com/main/restaurants.cfm
I'd love to hear what other people think, and if there are any other suggestions as I'm pretty unfamiliar with that area..

Any word yet on where the pre/post-meet is for the Wednesday show? I'm looking forward to seeing some of the fans I met on the initial Canadian tour...I also hope to get a few drinks in before the doors open at the unprecedented time of 5:30 PM!!!

Ok well I have to work until 5... So I can get together after the show... So I hope we are still doing that.
I sat alone in my little chair, I sat alone and I didn't care. |

I'm working on a get together. Details to come soon. |

Posted - 11/14/2004 : 11:38:20
I don't think many of us know the area. Maybe we can meet somewhere in Arrow Hall first and scout the area. |
| mattb |
Posted - 11/13/2004 : 21:35:16
well it looks like we have a few people. Anyone have any ideas were to go?

Hey MattB, count me in for before show (maybe). One catch though: can't drink, my little underage sister and one of her friends decided to buy tickets and crash my party, now I'm an escort. |
| jackanapes |
Posted - 11/12/2004 : 20:56:56
Matt, what's the tally for the get together? I'm riding the adrenaline train once again. Haven't been to see my friends in downtown Toronto for a long time. |
| jackanapes |
Posted - 11/12/2004 : 07:39:33
Add one Jackanapes to the mix for the show on atleast the 24th. I've still got one hurdle to clear but it's looking good. |
