    Omg. Go try it and tell me how it is. Lol.
    I'm too far south to get good food like that. I think they raise the price of lobster the further south in Canada you go.
    If the Detroit river could support lobster it'd be a different story. All that river supports is evidence and bodies. :D

    I will see what I can do. :lol:

    I miss getting free lobster.

    good good friend of mine is very involved in the Toronto music industry and always knows what's going down like a month before stuff is announced. I remember when beer baron had announced the aug 21/09 show. I knew that about 2 days before he announced it. I usually know in general about most shows before people. However this is just not the case this time. I can't get anything outta nobody, it's really weird. I did get that they were coming here but that's it. I haven't even heard anything about 2 nights. I am free sept 7th-15th and then I have contracted work 16th and 17th. I really hope I can see everything there is to see in the montreal-toronto areas. It'll break my heart if they're playing GTA 16th or 17th.
    That is exactly what has me scratching my head here. And that is also what has me throwing out crazy ideas like Massey Hall. In the past, shows at both the ACC and the Ampitheatre have been confirmed long before the 10C announcement. That leaves only two possibilities: (1) The 10C got really pissed in '09 when numerous sources confirmed the show prior to the announcement and they put a major hush order on or (2) Something interesting is in the works that is at neither of the aforementioned venues...

    I can also confirm that ... and one can assume that this resulted in the 2011 dates being kept hush, hush until now. That said, I am still surprised that they haven't somehow leaked on to the Pit.

    yeah it is really bizarre. In your opinion Beer Baron, do you see a Hamilton or London show happening?? I mean I really doubt Kitchener...thoughts?

    Hamilton has been rumoured with a specific date, so I would bet on that. London has been rumoured as well but no dates were thrown around. The bottom line is that with all of the travel to get between the average stop on a Canadian tour, it makes sense to try to squeeze in 4 or 5 shows in Southern Ontario. My guess is that we will get 4 shows in Ontario - 2X Toronto, Hamilton and London. If we get a 5th it will be Ottawa.

    Yeah I would say that all makes sense, i just really hope there in Winnipeg on the 17th, that would insure me not missing any of the Ontario shows

    2x in Toronto? and maybe a show in Ottawa? Most excellent.

    That would be a sweet road trip. Well, first fly in to Montreal from Halifax. Show there. Then drive to Ottawa. Show there. Then drive down to Toronto. 2x show's. Then maybe, just maybe, catch a show in a city south of Toronto. And during this trip check out the PJ Twenty film @ the Toronto Film Festival & visit Greek Town. I'm liking this a lot, atm. ;)

    :shock:

    If Pearl Jam played @ Massey Hall, it would be the very last performance @ that place in existence. Pearl Jam would tear down the roof & break the walls down. The amount of enjoy & sound that would happen at that little place would come crashing down. Even an acoustic set, that place would crumble. :P

    If only that all took place in the first 10 days of September! Now I'm debating the merits of being at a huge fest on the lawn or a smaller show in Canada where my middle of the road 10C number might be better. I really wish PJ20 was not at an amphitheater but a field...

    I just want to know first of all the Canadian dates & what's happening @ Alpine Valley. Especially what ticket's 10club has to offer. Cause if Ticketmaster & Live Nation are in this, to score ticket's to this special event will be a complete nightmare. Imagine if they had an option where you could only buy reserved 10club seats for day 1 and day 2 can only be purchase GA 10club tickets? D'oh! Too much thinking. Not enough sleeping.

    not sure if this has been thrown out there....but what about Pearl Jam on olympic island or downsview park???

    i don't see at this point why something like that wouldn't happen...thoughts??

    Oh boy ... I hate both ideas. Olympic Island is the only venue in the city that takes longer to get in and out of than the Ampitheatre and Downsview Park is ... well ... a giant field ...

    I am a sucker for arena shows, so I am hoping that the shows will be at the ACC .... it is open on the 11th for the entire week ... so the 11th and 12th would be perfect (Sunday/Monday) ... that whole week is also open at the Ampitheatre, so it could be either venue really...

    I've been to a couple of the Virgin Festivals on Olympic Island and love that venue, but it would be a logistical nightmare and complete clusterfuck with the limited capacity of the ferries...plus, I'm pretty sure the capacity is only around 10,000..

    Downsview Park would be a much better choice (at least it's accessible by the subway) and the infrastructure is in place as there's a few concerts going on there this year...the capacity wouldn't be an issue, but it's not the most charming of venues..

    i'm not as adverse to seeing PJ at these venues as others may be as i enjoy outdoor shows, but it's highly unlikely it'll happen..

    So it doesn't look like any Maritime shows on this tour? That would suck because I remember Halifax getting some great reviews and noted as being one of the best shows on that tour in 05.
