    The Zanzibar on Yonge Street is about a 20 minute walk. I haven't been there in ages so I can't comment on quality.

    The Brass rail is further up Yonge and is about a 45 minute walk. Again, it's been a while. Quality used to be superior to the Zanzibar.

    There's a third one on King St West called For Your Eyes Only. Never been there, probably a 30 minute walk.

    Tix are in 323.

    Much like my Buffalo purchase, selection wasn't great.

    Opted for cheaper seats that were only about 15 rows back from the $$$$ ones that I was offered.

    Hoping that we get a big crew to the pre-show festivities!

    I'll hunt for better tickets for the second show when it's announced on Saturday.

    Shit, waiting for a long overdue government cheque that may or may not arrive in the next 3 weeks, they stiffed me for a tax credit that they have to pay me now, and waiting on it, I may have to just buy a single ticket if I can get one when it comes, but thats OK as long there is a pre-party like last time in '07.....

    Ha Ha, but you got a point Twona, I guess I have never got into anything other then classic rock, and blues, and country when I was 9, but must come from the fact that if I ever said I was into Kool and the Gang in high school my ass would have been kicked, and to this day I do not get the like of that stuff.....

    i was fortunate (or maybe i wasn't lol) to grow up right on the edge of two neighborhoods (or maybe we'll call it one big diverse neighborhood) and go to racially diverse schools. all that music and culture was making an impression far before MTV came to town. then i'd go stay at my uncle's on the weekend and spin all his Doors and Stones albums, and steal his porn mags lol. between the two, it explains a lot, i guess.

    Listening to the Doors and Stones, great stuff, my first memories getting into R&R is The Beatles, and then Ozzy, what a jump, then VH....That was when I was about 12.....Another one was early Chicago LP's....

    and i wasn't into Ozzy, Rush, Zeppelin, a lot of that, all through high school. it was all New Wave and funk. i knew what everything else was, through MTV and when WMMS was still good, but i didn't own any of that.
