I land around 11 a.m. ish, gonna check in to my hotel, grab my ticket, then return to make sure I can get a good spot in line. I"m guessing around 5-6 ish? Hopefully that's not too late. I'd like front row if possible.

I expect we'll hear "Heaven Is A Better Place Today" in honour of Dan Snyder, who used to play for the Atlanta Thrashers. I know the boys are tight with his family up in Elmira.

Would love to hear "You're Everywhere" and will be requesting it large, lol.

Good show! first time I have seen them in a few years due to work conflicts (which will not happen again for anything). The guys looked like they were enjoying themselves and looked real loose, venue was good even though I much rather seen them at the Masquerade or The Earl. Gord actually went into the crowd 2X which I have never seen before.

Is this a seated venue? I'm curious if Gord is venturing into the crowd for GA shows (i.e. no setas).
