Canandaigua NEW YORK SHOW 8.28.10

[Northern Neighbour]

Mickey, my wife and I were originally going to stay at the Red Door Inn, but we have had to cancel, as we will now drive right back to Ottawa after the show.  We have an 8:00 flight in the morning to Philly to catch MMJ's next show.  We have to do this because 1) we're flying overseas on the 30th and 2) it was a much more cost-effective way to travel.  Anyway, you might want to call the Red Door Inn to see if they have a room available.  The manager sounded like a great guy and the Inn has very good reviews.

sounds like a couple great nights for you

Likely a couple of sleepless nights.  :)  Our trip is seeing 4 concerts in 4 cities (3 countries) in 12 days.  It's quite the trip.  Oh, only two of the concerts involve MMJ.

[Mickey7]

Hey Northern Neighbour,,thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately, haven't had much chance to be on here over the past couple of weeks, so likely missed snagging a room at the Red Door Inn or whatever it is, and yeah, I read good reviews about it too. Oh well, I'll try it tomorrow. Have a great few days!! Sounds like quite the trip.

i downloaded a new pornographers album and it was really bad....

oh well, ill just get there later now and drink more beers in the parking lot.

[ALady]

Really?  Which one?

This is almost a co-headlining show IMO.  Y'all are lucky.

I still have two for sale, 5th row center, face.  Thanks.

[hacksaw]

any hunnies tryna hold my hand during the show?

[Northern Neighbour]

The New Pornographers won't be everyone's cup of tea, but they are a talented group of musicians and one of three indie super groups from Canada (along with Arcade Fire and Broken Social Scene).  I'm a fan of theirs, and I am looking forward to seeing them.  They're not the ideal band to open for MMJ, but fans who are not familiar with TNP will likely enjoy their show.

[the_wizzard]

Ridiculously pissed as I will be 2 1/2 hours away on vaca visiting my folks in upstate.  Me and my dad are still considering the drive....

[hacksaw]

thats not a bad drive at all...go for it

[the_wizzard]

I agree, since I am flying in from Oregon.   :)
It will all be up to my pops since I am in town to visit him and the whole fam, but he really wants to see MMJ with me!  Now that I am in my 30's, married and with a stable job, he has really opened up to me about his love of rock and roll.  *side note:  I blew off college to follow the dead way back when, so he never wanted to "encourage" my behavior.  But now all bets are off!  Crossing fingers we will be there!

[the_wizzard]

Really, now that I think about it, I just have to convince my cousins in Syracuse to go and then my Dad will be all over the adventure!   :D

[hacksaw]

nice, syracuse...thats where im traveling from.

[Northern Neighbour]

Wizz, where will you be?  In Watertown?

My wife and I are making the drive from Ottawa and then driving back that night.  Surely you can make it to Canandaigua for the show.

[korief]

I have one extra ticket if anyone is interested. I'll happily sell under value, just to ensure that the ticket is used.
