    Maybe I'm in the minority here (I probably am) but I love how there is piratically no people here with "It's confirmed, book it!" posts for the Canadian tour...For the EV solo shows there were ticket sales posted on sites like Ticketmaster, everyone had threads confirming individual dates, there was every date already confirmed by a friend of a guy's brother and all we were waiting for was the ticket sale times...

    This time, no one has really leaked any real dates, I'm looking forward to the announcement this week more than any other announcement in the past 4-5 years...It' going to be an exciting summer/fall...

    Good point...actually makes the wait somewhat exciting since we have no idea (minus a couple hear-say dates) of where and when they are going.

    Very interesting. I hope to see some surprise stops like Thunday Bay was for 2005, something just random like that.

    It was just a piss poor attendance and too many people expecting to hear Ten was what the problem with the crowd was. When I seen the concernt was the first day of university I thought it could potentially be epic BUT I think that actually hampered attendance. WIth a concert being later in September Saskatoon may redeem itself because honestly a lot has changed in that city (and province for that matter) since 2005. Considering Saskatchewan is the economic power-house of Canada...haha funny to say that.

    Hoping either city gets a show and redeems themselves.
    I don't care much about redemption for a Saskatchewan show, only convenience and good seats...that's why I want Saskatoon. The Edmonton/Calgary shows, on the other hand, some serious redemption there...the Edmonton crowd was good in 05, but it was a typical weeknight (sunday) show...not too crazy b/c of less alcohol...Calgary was a near out-of-control booze-fest...actually 09 was too...and any other weekend event in Calgary :lol: (I thought Virginfest was fun, but the atmosphere sucked compared to 05)...Calgary is a great city in many ways, and yes, it's a big PJ town...but Edmonton's sports and music crowd kill Calgary's....so I'm praying the Friday date is right, redemption, ya ;)

    :lol: ya, the older I get, the more I dislike winter here... Calgary's weather sucks, but at least they have the mountains....Saskatchewan...the lakes up north are nice to visit, but the whole province is just too remote for me.....I lived in the BC interior for a couple years (OK valley), and disliked the isolation there too...3 hours to a major city was too much for me...it's grown since I was there, and my priorities have changed...I'd live there again in a heartbeat if I could.
    Actually, if Saskatoon doesn't get a show, I hope YOU guys get one. Kelowna would rule and the drive isn't that much further for me.

    You are half right I guess. We do have a few "confirmed" dates - Montreal 9/7, Hamilton 9/15, Winnipeg 9/17 and Edmonton 9/23.

    That said, it is shocking that Toronto dates haven't leaked yet. Shocked.

    Awesome!! I think it's pretty much a given that it will be during TIFF since PJ20 is supposed to be released in Sept. Rumour has it, it will be at TIFF. Hopefully for the out of towners, the hotel situation isn't too crazy/expensive. So glad I live here...don't have to worry about it.

    seconded :)

    hopefully they do the PJ20 premiere at Roy Thomson Hall so i can just go to work to watch it :D

    I kinda want to see PJ in Calgary just so I can go and see my friends there and see PJ.

    my best friend moved to calgary a couple years back and i've been meaning to visit him for a while. yesterday i let him know that he'll be having me crashing at his place for a few days in september.
