edger Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I am SOOO stoked for this show. I absolutely love Paul Simon, and I missed him the last time he came to TO.Just got my tickets.

edger Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Good to know some of you kind folks will be hitting this one up. Mayhaps a pre-concert beer may be in order?This falls the night after Drive By Truckers in Hamilton... October is shaping up to be a good month!

\/\/illy Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Leanne finishes early that day and if I'm real sweet to my boss I might be able to do the same thing. Anyone interested in some fine dining in Toronto before the show? Superior restaurant maybe? I'm game for any kind of pre-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edger Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Sounds good to me. I figure the only way I can possibly justify spending this much money on a concert, is by spending some more money before hand on goods eats and drinks, and doing things up properly!!

\/\/illy Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 isn't your boss a jerk? Oh yea, he's an asshole of epic proportions. If I get lucky I might catch him on a good day though. If that fails, he's not immune to the lure of sexual favours in return for time off. Anyway if you can catch that boss on a 'good day' I think pre-dinner and/or drinks should be in order...who'm I kidding pre-dinner and drinks! Right on! Sounds good to me. I figure the only way I can possibly justify spending this much money on a concert, is by spending some more money before hand on goods eats and drinks, and doing things up properly!! That's the way I look at it. Might as well make it a stellar night out to ensure that we properly enjoy the money spent on the tickets. Otherwise it's just a waste.

livingstoned Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 What a bunch of high-rollers we all are!! Hmm yes, indeed. And I just got word that our tix were the cheapies of the lot and pretty far back so as to not go any less than 'all out' it means I'll just have to go for the extra expensive wine and fancy entrée at dinner - to make up for what I saved on tix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
\/\/illy Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Well, there's a lot of nice restaurants in Toronto. How 'high-rolling' do we want to go? A couple of my favourites, that I use mostly for entertaining customers, are The Superior located on Yonge Street across from the Eaton Centre or, 360 located in the CN Tower. The food is definitely better at The Superior but the visual appeal of 360 is hard to argue with.Too much? Any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 C'est What is really close to the HC, and has a great beer selection. There are also a few other places along The Esplanade (the HC is between The Esplanade and Front St.), like The Esplanade Bier Markt, that could also be good.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balogna pogna Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I've never spent so much on concert tickets in my life as I just did.But I've never seen Paul Simon either. I've got goosebumps thinking about this.Orchestra 11 Seats 22 and 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
\/\/illy Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 C'est What The food is really good and affordable! I highly reccomend it. Good atmosphere too. The beer is awesome but I'd give the food somewhere between mediocre and meh. I mean I'll eat there again for sure but if I were to place it on a scale from the worst food I've eaten to the best food I've eaten, it'd fall in the middle which is right between mediocre and meh. Damn I love their beer selection though. Personally, for a Paul Simon concert, I'm looking forward to drinking a couple of bottles of fine wine before I head in there. It just seems more 'Paul Simon.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
