NewRider Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Not sure of set times but wanted to remind everyone DBT is on Jimmy Fallon tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edger Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 NewRider you dissapoint me, I thought you were in the know! Thanks for the reminder anyways. Guess I'm wondering if this would be a show that would end by midnight, or would Lee's palace open things up for the long haul on a week night?

NewRider Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I don't wanna disappoint edger so I put on my detective cap and did some investigating. DBT are scheduled to hit the stage at 9:45PM meaning the show wouldn't go that far past midnight at all. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewRider Posted April 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 I saw the space last weekend when I was there for Black Lips and it's a good size. I won't show up more than an hour early for anything so it better not fill up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esau. Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Anyone from Hamilton, or nearby area have an extra seat in their car? I'm looking for a ride if possible, at least for the first night as I have to be back in town after the show and up early the next day (so I won't be looking for an after party or be all that wasted). I'll gladly throw some gas cash or pay for parking.Shoot me a PM if anyone can help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edger Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Esau it's a possibility that you can grab a ride with me. I can't guaruntee anything just yet as I am still figuring out where I am going to be coming from and all that is on my plate that night, but as soon as I know more I will let you know!And a potential appearance from hamilton is more than anyone could have asked for!!!

If you happen to be in the area (Hamilton/Dundas/ Burlington etc) and have room going to the show that would be great, but if not it's not a problem. I shouldn't have much trouble getting there. Getting back was my main concern.Are you coming back for night #2 Esau?Yep.I have space returning from the show(s) too... back to Hamilton. Can't provide a ride there, as I work in the 'Saug.A spot coming back would be awesome & greatly appreciated. That would take a lot of stress off. I was worried I may have to pass on the first night, since I've got my yearly check up at the Juravinski centre in the AM and I can't miss it.
