    Back on the first page!! Can't wait till May 9th!

    Can anyone explain the meaning of "a slightly unsavory location" referring to the location of the Grand Hotel and Suites (Jarvis and Queen streets) it was written in a guide book of the city, but most websites say the city is clean and safe- would it be safe to walk from Air Canada to the Grand after the shows let out??
    got a car...got some gas...oh let's get out of here-get out of here fast...
    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.

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

    Well I've stayed at the Grand before and it's really nice, this time we're staying at the Delta Chelsea, it's on Gerrard and are planning on walking back to the hotel. I'm not from Toronto but I've always been fine with walking around that area.

    Thanks Kricket!
    I looked at the Delta Chelsea (it looks nice!) I made a second reservation at the Novotel thinking it would be fine to walk from the Air Canada after the show...not sure which I am going to cancel at this point.

    I wouldn't say it's stumbling distance....looks like the Novotel might be better for yah cause it's so close.

    yesterday on the Edge they were playing commercials all day regarding this.
    So if you've got a chance, listen monday for more details. there is also a HUGE Pearl Jam contest starting on Monday at the edge. It's called the 3hour tour or something like that. What it is, is the winner gets to spend an entire day with Pj while they are in T.O., tickets to both shows May 9 and 10, plus the entire PJ discography!! Bookie annouced this contest yesterday at 4pm.
    And for the PJ hour, all that I know so far it's happening April 30th on the edge at around 6pm.
    Bookie from the edge said next week is Pearl Jam week at the edge.
    I'm looking forward to it!!!
