c-towns Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Recently, one worker spotted a ticket request from Eric Vandercar, a 53-year-old bond expert who died this month in a New York train accident. The sorters set up a tiny memorial beside his envelope: a candle, his photo and a vase of greenery.

So far no word for me either in the mail or in terms of activity with my mail orders....holding onto hope. I got really excited yesterday when Canada Post came by with an express post package. I thought I'd won the lottery and my tickets arrived. It was a big disappointment when I turned the package over and realized it was not from GDTSTOO So I've got nothing so far.

Hartamophone Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Recently, one worker spotted a ticket request from Eric Vandercar, a 53-year-old bond expert who died this month in a New York train accident. The sorters set up a tiny memorial beside his envelope: a candle, his photo and a vase of greenery.Apparently he was a real fixture on the scene in NewYork City for 20-plus years. A few bands have paid tribute to him in recent days, including moe. and Yonder. A sample of his recordings:https://archive.org/search.php?query=taper%3A%22EricV%22A Jambands.com article about him:http://www.jambands.com/news/2015/02/04/eric-vandercar-beloved-taper-dies-at-53And another, with pics of a marquee tribute:http://www.jambands.com/news/2015/02/06/moe-dedicate-new-york-city-to-eric-vandercar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 I got my rejection notice on Saturday, delivered by a postie no less (didn't think they work weekends).

I'm going to now cancel my Chicago trip, unless by some miracle I score one ticket via TM.What?!?!? I have never in my life heard of mail delivery in Canada on a Saturday outside of the xmas season. Sorry to hear this man. Regular onside is still a distinct possibility. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear this man. Regular onside is still a distinct possibility. Best of luck. Thanks Todd! I had tentative plans to go to a Cubs and White Sox game (the Jays are in town on the Monday). I also was going to take my wee son to the Kingston Mines blues club. I will try again on the 28th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
