This brings up an interesting hypothetical:

You end up having 2, 4, or however many extra tickets to NYE@MSG. All your immediate and closet friends either have tickets or cannot go.

You decide to offer up the extras to the Sanc - you have decided NOT to make hundreds/thousands of dollars by sellling the tickets to scalpers.

HOW do you decide who to sell the extras too?

I would *love* to be faced with this dilemma, and I know it may be a little farfetched, but how would YOU go about doing this?

Brian

That is flat out nasty!

Although I do not know the details of the deal you had worked out, if it was me, I think it would be years until I spoke to that person again.

I am working my butt off to get tickets. I *HOPE* I get extras because this is the first please I will turn.

Brian

I am goin mad - cannot endure a whole week of work before trying on Ticketmaster.

Congrats to the lucky few that already got tickets.

RMP is going mad with all the lucky ones posting that they got tickets - did anyone here end up getting some?

Brian

I too am out in the cold. I have not heard from ANYONE yet that got tickets.

This lottery thing is driving me mad man. I need to go to this concert - no if, ands, or buts. I cannot fathom waiting until next Friday to try at Ticketmaster. I cannot fathom being shut out. All this "has your card been charged", "my card has been charged" - RMP is making me crazy.

Anyway, thanks for listening to me vent - know you are not along biting your nails to the flesh.

Brian

I would love the Toronto show. Emails me at goraptors@rogers.com if I am in.

Thanks!

OTTAWA - A Senate committee said in a report Wednesday that marijuana use should be legalized for adults.

P.S. Pierre Claude Nolin is my new best friend.

I remember in the original summer Trey Tour announcement it saying something like the band intends to add more NORTH AMERICAN dates in the fall - leading me to believe shows in Canada. I'm a tad disappointed.

Someone put this together. I sure as hell would like to be able to watch this concert if I end up not being able to go.

Click HERE to see it.

I got miracled into the House of Blues VIP box - it was great! Dylan still has the goods. I can't believe the show ended at 10:15 though.

This is confirmed. See:

Obviously at this point if you do not have a ticket fuggeddaboutit.

I was one of the lucky ones to see the Stones at RPM back in 96 - it was a great show.

I have done this in the past and have no problems doing it again. If you want me to use some webspace to host the pictures just send me an email with the pictures and I will upload them then send you customer links to each picture which you can use to post them.

Any questions email me at goraptors@rogers.com

Peace,

This is awesome. I have not gotten *any* work done since the news was made official. I agree that tickets will be next to impossible to get, but I will damn sure try.

I have a permagrin attached to my face at the moment!!

Anyone heard anything about them? They are playing The Kee in Muskoka this weekend, and I may be up there. Anyone have any info on them at all? I remember hearing the name somwhere, but can't remember where.

OK you lucky Ottawa folk - The Jimi Hendrix Red House Tour, a travelling museum housed in an expandable 18-wheeler big rig rolled into your town yesterday. Here is the artivle from CANOE.ca:

Hendrix on wheels

Guitar guru museum rolls into town

By ANN MARIE McQUEEN -- Ottawa Sun

A third generation of fans are tuning in to electric guitar guru Jimi Hendrix, who would be turning 60 this fall had he not died prematurely in 1970.

"We've got baby boomers who grew up with Jimi, and we get the kids who grew up listening to their parents' records, and their kids," says Jimi's cousin Bob, four years his junior.

Bob Hendrix is accompanying the Jimi Hendrix Red House Tour, a travelling museum housed in an expandable 18-wheeler big rig, which rolled into town yesterday and will be parked at the Bluesfest until it ends Sunday.

The museum features replicas of Hendrix memorabilia from the unforgettable Butterfly costume to the Monteray Pop Stratocaster, the hand-painted guitar famously burned during 1967's Monteray International Pop Festival.

Hendrix's father Al, who never recovered after his son's accidental, sleeping pill-related death, charged his family with creating a viable, free-of-charge travelling museum to ensure Jimi's legacy lived on after clarifying rights to the estate in 1995.

Bluesfest is the Hendrix museum's only Canadian stop.

It also includes audio and video presentations, photos and a chronology of Jimi's career. That short-lived career, which included many notable performances, including Woodstock, and the release of four official records, began when Jimi's dad bought him a $5 acoustic guitar when he was 13.

Hendrix, who never knew how to formally read or write music, instead showed his talent by instinct and an incredible ear.

Just like his dad, Hendrix, who loved to draw, played baseball, football, baseball and joined the U.S. Army before getting a medical discharge and returning to music, is remembered by his cousin and childhood playmate as quiet and unassuming.

"I don't think that you could find anyone who met Jimi Hendrix who didn't like him," said his cousin. "He was a really nice guy."

The Jimi Hendrix Red House Tour truck will be parked behind Confederation Park, in front of the Rideau Canal on Queen Elizabeth Dr., until 3 p.m. today.

It will be then be moved inside the Bluesfest, on Laurier Ave., where it will sit until Sunday. Admission is free.

Just call me the shadow!

Nice pics!

Brian

And now we go high tech:

Do we park near the red dot or the blue dot

Can we go with directions here, because I do not know which way you are coming from. When you say furthest lot from the venue, do you mean east end, towards downtown, or west end. I think you mean east end lot but please clarify.

Thanks

Brian

As I am relatively new here, I do not know what the "Phish Sanctuary logo flag" looks like. ANyone have a pic?

Brian

I have been told I can leave work at 3pm - so I could be at the lot by 3:30 or so. Tell me where 'n when!
