  • In 2005, I remember parking a ways away from Copps on the street for free.
    Does anyone know where this can be done ? I believe we parked somewhere on James Street.

    I can't afford $20 to park my car. As far as I'm concerned, it should be illegal to gouge
    people that way. $5 for a parking spot should suffice.

    Thanks.

    Parking downtown for free is a rare find. Try the lots around Hess Village (West on King from Copps) they should be a little cheaper. It's about a 5 min walk and Hess is usually really good after a concert.

    now what
    Had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse
    Of my innocence... got back my inner sense...

    Any new realizations... would have to wait...

    Time to dream,... to himself... he waves goodbye,
    To himself... I'll see you on the other side...

    I am sorry that we didn't have more merchandise to sell at the pre-party.
    Thank you for the people that brought some wonderful goodies to make our raffle much better!

    I am sorry that there was no house mic, or megaphone, and we resorted to yelling.
    Thank you for Hinn, Yves, Foxy Mop for their whistles and voices!

    I am sorry at one point they had to turn some of away because we filled the restaurant to capacity, and more.
    Thank you to Demetrios, D's Brother, Foxy Mop, EvilClosetMonkey, thewordselope, and every single PJ fan that showed up to make it a fabulous time!

    Thank you to our beneficiary, HamiltonCAS, who do awesome work for kids and teens living on their own!!

    Thank you to the party venue's staff and management at The Honest Lawyer, for doing their best to make us feel welcome in Hamilton!

    I wish I had had more time to meet more of the jammers that posted in this thread! Things were so crazy awesome!! :mrgreen:

    Love, light and hugs to all of you!!! XO

  • You didn't reply about the credit cards not working. What was up with that? We had an issue in Wendy's as well that afternoon.

    Also, why did my Navi take me to Dundas for Copps Coliseum? Glad I was in town super early, so it didn't really matter. Interesting town that Dundas is.

    We didn't end up making it to the pre-party, because we couldn't get in! We drove down from Ottawa, hit the Toronto traffic, so we didn't park until after 6PM. And the girl watching the door at Honest Lawyer wasn't letting anyone in when we tried at 6:15. And we hadn't eaten anything, so we had to go to Plan B, which was sucking it up and pay for an expensive dinner at the Sheraton.

    Sorry to miss you all! Great show though...

    OK, here goes...

    I am sorry that the interact and credit card machines were not working.
    Thank you for coming anyway to rock the Honest Lawyer and the city with us.

    I am very sorry to say this, but that it was actually a good thing your Navi took you through Dundas, as there was a car accident at Peter's Corners at lunchtime that day. :shock: :?
    Thank you Universe for getting Kevin to the show safely on a very nice scenic route.

    Yes, Dundas is a very interesting city. :thumbup: I love going down to the Cactus Festival. For real. It's so awesome! :mrgreen:
    Lots of love, light and hugs to you all!

    That's okay...we were not expecting the Honest Lawyer to get so full it was going to be "one out, one in" so fast!!! It was at capacity both inside and on the patio with about 400+ people. :shock:

    Next time...I will be more prepared!! :D

  • We did get taken right past the car accident, just after it happened. Cops were just arriving on scene. Fortunately, we were able to get past it pretty quickly. Went through Dundas, Copps Coliseum was supposed to be where a church stood. Turned around and went back past the accident (that was now cleaned up), saw the neat little University and then located Copps.

    Thanks for organizing the party. We went in for a beer, so that was cool.

    I could tell from the outside.

    My friend and I intended on stopping by, but it was packed. We ended up at the food court, which was fine. There were a lot of PJ fans in that area, as well. Although, I think we met more fans at the ATM near the Honest Lawyer than at the concert itself. :)
