    Is it true that TTC stops running at 1:30 now? I heard something like that. If so, no after party for me. :(

    I'm going to stay with my aunt for at least the first night. Maybe the second if I don't feel like taking the bus after the concert.

    Also, my brother is coming with me for at least one show, so I might have an extra 10C ticket for one night if he doesn't attend. I'd like to either go with my brother, or go it alone. I don't really want to bring any of my friends, because they just 'don't get it', if you know what I mean.

    The last subway from Union is 1:30, but there are Busses 24 hours. If you let me know where your aunt lives, I can get you home.
    This sidewalk is for regular walking, not for fancy walking!

    If you plan on driving down to the show, or to the meet-up, leave yourself way more than 15 minutes... traffic can be very conjested in the area of the 401/DVP...

    just so you know... :)

I would love to see some local artwork (no commercial/"hot spots") and def need a place for beers...I would love to meet some of you pre show if that's all right too. Thanks! I'm so ready for the shows to start!

    I hope you get this message but your not home...I will be there in just a minute or so...
    I want to go but I want to go with you.

    Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. -MT

    I've had enough, said enough, felt enough. I'm fine, still in it.

    i guess you don't want me to suggest the hockey hall of fame?

    the bata shoe museum's something random to do.'

    there's many places to drink.

    and please don't litter.

    lots of artwork to be seen at the AGO,

    or at the Distillery District.... (a "hot spot", but full of artwork none the less...)


    Check the first post for details about pre-show beers at the Loose Moose.

    have fun! :D

    You should check out Queen St W (west of Bathurst) for the so-called "Gallery District". Lots of good local art. Here is link to gallery info.

    http://www.toronto.ca/you-belong/attractions/galleries.htm

    AWOL (http://www.awolgallery.com/) and The Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art (http://www.mocca.toronto.on.ca/) should have some good (or interesting at least :) ) stuff

    Gonna be there, flying up alone from Fla., my extra ticket already taken, sorry...

    Staying in the Holiday Inn a few blocks away from the ACC, can't remember the street. So, beers at the Loose Moose, did I hear that right?...

    If someone can give me an excuse to stay for night 2, I might have to just call in sick on the 11th...

    I think I've nailed down a new job, but they're not going to see me on May 9th and 10th. Although I feel Pearl Jam is a good excuse not to go to work, I doubt they will. The job starts May 1, if I get it. I'm 95% sure I've got it though...

    Help me come up with a GOOD excuse.

    If I can't go, I'm going to be pissed. Not only because I'll miss Pearl Jam, but also because I'll be out like $2 hundred and whatever it cost.

    Bring up a dead family member. Or tell them you got an STD that you need help removing. If you really live in London we should car pool. I'm trying to not be creepy.
