3 songs. their stage director told us how the show would start' date=' how the band would come out and to stay well back because there would be pyrotechnics. but i don't remember any explosions anywhere in the first 3 tunes.[/quote'] moonchild had pyro Yes, it did...check out video, at 12:57:

Yes, it will. YES IT WILL! Sorry you missed this. But I think Maiden will be around for a bit still. It smells like smoked meat in my house, man. I think Ollie's heating up some Montreal smoked meat remnants.

I'd love to go to Sarnia tomorrow to see them there. Kanada Kev, have an awesome night tonight!! Nothing like seeing Maiden on a Friday the 13th!!! I'm sure Bruce will say something about that.

Great pics Mike!!! Lucky guy for getting so close to Maiden!! How long were you able to stay there? We saw you take pictures at Hold Steady yesterday. During the Sheepdogs, I felt like I was at Woodstock. Those guys are right outta that decade. I've never listened to them and don't know much about them except for the cover of the Rolling Stone. I didn't like Arty the DJ at the Electro stage. Felt a little too "cheap dance club" to me. Yeah, people complain about the lack of blues but there are blues acts every day, many under attended. Guess I'll check out A-Track tonight. There's nothing I want to see today.

Yeah I read a review about this show on apt613.ca . Would have liked to see that, just for the absurdity of it.

I was just going to correct you. I'd go see Bad Religion and Big Boi tonight if I was there...going to Maiden in Montreal instead! Tomorrow is Hold Steady. The Pack A.D. is good too from what I remember...saw them at Westfest a few years ago.

yeah, well, the bracelets are transferable; you just have to trust that the person you're lending it to will give it back to you, or will not lose it in a mosh pit.

Iron Maiden tweet: We made little film last year - En Vivo! In case you haven't seen it yet, (if not, why not?) it Premieres tonight 8pE on @AXSTVConcerts. We don't get AXS tv in Canada, do we?

Where are your Maiden photos, bouche? Last night was so much fun!!!

Anyone in for Maiden? Betcha not, huh. Bluesfest has been fun up to now!! Better than I expected! I like the smaller attendances, and the quick access to beers.

I overheard some women at my work talk about that show and how much they love it and I thought they were losers. But hey I watched the first episode of The Glass House tonight (a Big Brother rip off). I am a loser too.

Hooray!!! Thank you Mr. Slippery! Yesterday I won a pass to the Ottawa Chamberfest and today a book. Next win, a million bucks perhaps? There was a dead rabbit in my driveway today that we had to bury in the backyard...aren't rabbits lucky? PM sent!

Yep, watched it. Loved it. Good ole entertainment! Glad he made it across without having to use tether!

yeah, i keep checking the web site for updates...not much listed there up to now! They better get organized!

I got my bracelets today in the mail. Happy to hear we can use cash. This new cashless system is just a trial this year. I hope it doesn't pass the test. I like bills.

Ollie and I got two for GA in Ottawa. Glad to see it's standing and it looks like a small area too...half of the usual GA area. Cool. Looking forward to Patti Smith. I just checked now to see the state of the non-GA tickets, and I could buy 2 ticket in PEN section, row 2 seats 8-9. Penalty box? haha. It's a tiny section on the seat map right by the floor. $183 each. Ouch. Ottawa is not selling so well. Now how about that tightrope guy huh? Hope he makes it across!

IN! Haven't read a book of his in a long time!

All those bands will be available on the web cast?? Is it free to watch?

Ottawa Explosion looks cool. I'll check out Westfest since I live close. Whoever goes there should let me and Ollie know. What's Silkken Laumann like? They are playing Westfest and Ottawa Explosion. Are they heavy, punk, hardcore?

Ah frig. I knew I'd forget about this...read about it on Sunday and told myself I should write this in my calendar, and then I didn't, and I forgot. I was preparing a salad when Venus transited. Ollie was outside getting the BBQ ready. I guess he didn't look up. Mike, you shoulda had a viewing party at your place.

Ah, always sad to read the end of a wonderful voyage. Things I liked about your trip: The penguins!! Pictures please! Cat encounters All other animals encounters The Nissan's strong performance (I drive a Nissan) Flying above the falls The quiet moments you had watching sunsets and sunrises Imagining the contortions on the bus, in search of sleep All mentions of alcoholic beverages On another note, I met a Snelgrove at a wedding this weekend. First name Will. Acccording to him, he is not family. He's from North Gower.

Happy belated birthday!!! I hope you had cake leftover for the weekend. Cake for breakfast is delicious!

Haha! Yes indeed!!! I hope these guys play again soon. I couldn't make it on Thursday.

that nightclub scares me.

Happy Birthday Booche! What a wonderful sunny weekend for you! And no work tomorrow. Woohoo!!
