    OMG. The Tragically Hip have booked their Vancouver show for the same night when Pearl Jam is most likely playing Pemberton Fest. Seriously, the timing could not possibly be worse here. SMH. WTF do I do?!?!?! I guess Eddie isn't dying of a brain tumour, so I should choose the Hip??? This reminds me of that time when RNDM played Vancouver the same night as Bruce Springsteen... except this is 10 times worse.

    You're ok, pemberton is July 14-17.

    SMH. Really?? I'm an idiot! :lol: Uh, never mind everyone. That's embarrassing. I thought that Pemby was at the end of my vacation in July (which is the weekend of the 24th). Obviously I was mistaken! Well yay. That's awesome, lol.

    I'd like to see a comment from Eddie (or the band) re: Gord Downie. Gord is apart of Canada's DNA.

    do they even know who he is? I assumed maybe they'd heard of the band, but that might be about it. I could see him mentioning it the next time they play canada. he probably would have mentioned something at one of the shows recently had he known.

    Fan club sale, would I have got an email already for it?
    I got the band email about the horrible news, but no presale info. I assume I'm not in fan club, just on mailing list?
