mmm that looks like a good place.
i saw them open for wilco at the metropolis fourteen billion years ago, and i liked that place, too.
maybe it's because montreal is better than toronto.

yeah, i said it.

I agree, but you can't beat Toronto's neighbourhoods.

[EC]

that's true.  right now where i live, it's not really a "neighbourhood" b/c we're on a major street.  but whenever i've lived on a residential street, i've always enjoyed my neighbours.  and the various shops around here feel like a neighbourhood.

those are some nice things to say, but...  i didn't think MMJ's concert was part of NXNE...  

jaimoe, does that seem right to you?

I think the organizers have piggy-backed the MMJ concert with the NXNE fest. At least it feels like they did. Whatever. It's good news for the festival.

:)  more canadians!! (i think.  are you?)

[petemoss]

I can't wait for the Toronto show.
It sucks we aren't get a full 'evening' like the american cities are, but it's gonna be a blast. I'm taking like 6 people with me that have never seen them before, so i hope they play lots of mmj classics. That being said, i cant wait to hear the new stuff live.
I would die if they played 'steam engine' I really would.
It feels like forver since i have last seen them.
Ok that's the end of dumb fanboy post...
im just too excited!

[Billo]

I'll be there with 2 newbies or perhaps as many as 4 newbies.
Not expecting anything pre-Z other than One Big Holiday and Golden
And one other from the Pre It Still Moves Era.  They are playing Oxen town though.

Glad to be reconnected to the 'forum family' after many months away.

Good morning ;)

does anyone know how we get some requests for the playlists?
not to sound important or anything.. but I'm making a big effort to attend and driving 8 hrs as this is my closest venue and I've been waiting for a Canadian date for awhile now... I'M GOING TO DO A BOTTLE DRIVE TO GET TO TORONTO this weekend... and man oh man... would be all worth it if I get to hear them perform "the Bear"

[Billo]

Dress as a bear.
8 hours  where are you the Sault?

For those going to the Toronto gig on Monday, I'll be at the Jason George Pub (Front Street and Jarvis) for some pre-drinks. If you show up at the pub, I'll be the dude wearing the vintage Toronto Blue Jays jersey. Looking forward to the show... to say the least.

I am looking forward to hearing about this show. I tried to make it up there but just could not with the NYC trip so close.

I also can't find that thread where we talked about this but I wanted to comment about you being from one of my favorite cities in Canada, Kingston right?. That was odd that I mentioned it and you are originally from there...strange?. It is a beautiful city as is Toronto.

It was the thread about the poor guy that can't get a diagnosis for his debilitating ailment.

That's right, I'm the one from Kingston. I think Kingston is a prettier city than Toronto; it embraces history whereas developers in Toronto try to destroy the past. Toronto's still a great town though. Too bad you can't make the show, however, if I had to pick, I'd rather go to the MMJ Montreal gig. Better venue and a better vibe.
