Name Tags huh. OK Then

Personal Delimma. I don't want to miss a pre set song by Ed. But I also want to drink more beer at the Moose.

What to do?

I wouldnt worry too much about that, we should be packing up the preparty around 6pmish since most of us will have to get to the ACC to pick up our tickets.

smarchee

I'll be up for the Wednesday show. I hope to come by to the Moose before hand. Hope that there will be lots of people there on the Wednesday pre-show as well.

MrMerkinball

I just booked the Loose Moose for us. I spoke with the manager there and started to introduce myself as a fanclub member.......

and before I could finish, he says "Awesome - I was hoping you guys would come back".

He went on to say that in September, everyone was really friendly and he'll do whatever he can to help us out.

Seems like a bunch of people from the Kitchener pre-show party will be in Toronto. I was working at the CCFC table, the smaller guy! And my Finace was with me. We'll be at the Toronto show and parties as well.

Boomer

I'm looking for an extra toronto ticket for both shows if someone needs to split please PM.

liquidsilver

Hey guys, don't forget about the hostels.... There are some good ones within walking distance of the ACC, i'm booked in at one for both nights, it's only like $20 bucks with a student discount for each night plus there's a 24 hour bar in the one i'm staying at, so a little after concert drinking..

I was there at the Kitchener pre show party. The vibe of that entire weekend was all PJ and it was all good!!! Even the camp ground I was staying at was filled with PJ concert goers. Truely an amazing weekend!
Where is the pre show party in T.O. this year?
I'm sure i'll find it somewhere in this thread.
See you all there!! that is If I find out where it is happening in this thread lol.

K*Rock

I'll be there too!!!!
i have an exam (my last one of University EVER!) till 5pm but i'll be heading down ( i'm just up the street at U of T) for a celebratory drink before the show starts.. what a way to end university. 2 PJ shows in my hometown!!!

Where are these at? I might hook myself up with this instead of staying with my Aunt since she lives way at the north end of the city.

Holy Crap, they make you write exams into May? At Western, they make certain you're done by April 30th, because pretty well everybodies lease expires on the 1st, and a lot of people need to start jobs that day too.

I write my last exam at 7:00 PM on April 30th, and then I move the next morning. Gonna be HUNNGGGGGOVERERRRRRR....

yeah U of T is messed up like that... i dont have my first exam till May 1st...i think its because we have such a huge school (about 58 000) and they only want us writing in certain places... our exams go from april 224 till may 12th i think...it blows... but damned is it gonna be sweet going to that show on the 9th!!!

I just have to say... I'm very disapointed the loose moose was picked again :(

that place sucked last year... how about a bar that's not in a basement?

Hey CircusFreak,

What was so bad about the Loose Moose last year, other then it being in a basement? This thread has been going since before the Tickets went on sale, and nothing negative has been said about the Loose Moose as I recall.

I've never been there unfortunatly, so I have no idea what it's like. What's your complaint about this place?

Krohn

it's in a basement

it was tiny

it smelled like urine

the bathrooms were horrid (I was one of the first people there so it wasn't because of ALL the people) there were 5 people in there when I got there and the bathrooms were so disgusting it looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a week

the service was horrible... our waitress was very rude

we ordered food and after an hour of waiting, and getting nothing... not even the waitress coming over to check on us, we left

we found a really nice sports bar with an outside patio that was filled with PJ people and they were playing the garden DVD... very nice place


I wasn't really COMPLAINING in my original post about it... just disapointed. Toronto is a beautiful city with really nice bars. Just didn't think this one would be picked again. I'll find my way back to that sports bar

Damn

Like I said, I've never been there and was only using the opinions of the other jammers on the Pit. Hopefully the bathrooms will be clean, CCFC fundraiser and all :cool:

Have fun either way! PJ is coming to town!
