    Eddie must've high-tailed it to Chicago after the White House, a friend told me he was hanging with Bill Murray and the Cubs again Saturday at Green Street. Dude's been busy.

    All that family time some fans said he desperately needed after touring two months months in the last two years.

    (Not a dig at Eddie but at the silly statements fans make that they need their rest after luxury touring for two out of 24 months)

    What should I expect?

    Quick heads up for those looking for tickets - there are an insane amount of online scams running for these tickets. At least 20k people lined up in hopes to get them and it was a mess (imagine the old Pearl Jam F5 days, but in person). Hard tickets only, no way to transfer electronically, hologram stickers, QR codes, do your homework before meeting someone.

    full disclosure: when PJ came to Winnipeg in 2011, a buddy of mine works at the airport in the private plane area. he knew exactly when PJ was arriving from Ontario (his wife and daughter once got to meet Bieber, so I knew it was legit). Friday morning at 1:30am. I had to work at 8, but what the fuck? I'm usually not a "meet famous people" type of person. But when the opportunity arose that I could say hi to the guys in my favourite band of all time and get them to sign my 2005 poster on the tarmac when they touched down, I couldn't say no.

    The douche bodyguard who was first off the plane told my buddy to get me the fuck off the tarmac. the guys weren't seeing anyone. To say I was disappointed was an understatement. But hey, I get it. They were probably sleeping on the plane and just wanted to get to their hotel to get some sleep. that was the closest I will probably ever get to saying hi to them. And then to find out the day after the show, that the day of the show Jeff was at a skate park 5 minutes from my house was the icing.

    So yeah, if this guy is a flipper, whatever. But if he's not, I get it.
