Zoom in on him for "hung with pictures of our parents' prime ministers"

Or throw An Inch An Hour into the set for a direct Trudeau (Sr) reference! Or however else "No bemused Trudeau" could be taken!

Silver lining on this is the hilarious coincidence that my "no ticket nightmare" comes to life on the same day that I GOT A TICKET TO THE SHOW! :jump
haha I'm taking the over on both. And congrats, and enjoy the show man!

I would hope, and assume, in a box so he doesn't create a big distraction.
Instead of making the sensible/economical choice to go to the Ottawa, he not only jumps any chance to join the national spotlight/broadcast but ANNOUNCED that hes going ahead of time. Media laps it up as always. As one of the biggest "celebrities" in our country, what do you think the odds of him not creating a distraction are? Especially with his biggest fans the CBC covering the show.

What I want to know is:

How will the viewing/streaming audience compare with the numbers for an Olympic gold medal hockey final (with Canada in it, of course)?

And to the technically astute out there - fire up those DVRs and other sundry video recording gear for the folks who can't watch it live.

Please, eh? And thanks in advance.

Went out downtown tonight and a friend told that they are erecting a fence around the perimeter of the Krock center for the show ... seems excessive?

What I want to know is:

How many people were in the rink for both Vancouver 2010 and Kingston 2016? At least one.

is there a curfew there or anything to that affect? I'm curious if they would play an ultimate longer set than the previous shows...

We are going to the show tomorrow!

Anyway, our friends who we are going with (and have our tickets which are credit card entry) won't be getting to Kingston until 730 or so. I know it's going to be nuts downtown. Any suggestions on places to park within about a 20 minute walk to K Rock?

If you are downtown Kingston already, one of the local craft breweries is releasing a Wheat beer "pretty things" at 11am this morning. 750mL bottle, 6 bottle limit if anyone is interested they will probably go quick.

It wouldn't surprise me they could get around the standard 11pm curfew.

.... Good luck with that. There are many street closures and parking/traffic is going to be a ZOO. I think your best bet is parking outside of the venue vicinity and taking transit or cab as close as you can and then walking. Hopefully security lines have thinned out by that point.

Im not from the Niagara area but visit often with my wife. Provided they aren't sold out before 1130, you're all set :thumb:

Anyone else interested please email [email protected] before 1130.

Shameless plug: I am looking for a replacement copy of Vault #4 and the yellow hockey player FC poster if anyone wants to sell/trade.
