London was great. I'm thinking that's my new favourite OLP concert. Nice venue, okay crowd, hanging around with lots of great people, soundcheck, free stuff, the greatest opening band you'll ever see, and a long well rehearsed set.
Allison and I got there around 1230pm. Not much happening. Gail was there, and just a handful of others. Jo-Ann eventually arrived. We hung around the arena and surrounding area (making sure at least someone was in line for us) all afternoon.
Allison, Stu (cougr99 from CC), Gail and myself went in to the soundcheck -- which was a great experience. Yay Allison! The band fooled around a bit, but still managed to kick out 4 full songs. Afterwards, as Treble Charger was getting their gear on stage, the band joined us on the floor for a little meet and greet. Big opportunities for photos and autographs. And Stace (CC and olp.net fame), hooked us all up with free t-shirts.
From the soundcheck, we headed back outside and joined the front of the line where Jo-Ann (thank god!) was still holding our spots. 30 minutes outside, and we were in. Our little group got right up against the barricade. Allison and Gail were close to dead center. Stu, Jo-Ann, and her friend were a little more to the right, and I was to the right of them - dead center in front of Duncan. The crowd wasn't bad. A lot of crowd surfers (I got my glasses kicked off by one - NOT GOOD!), but the pushing wasn't nearly as dangerous as what went down in Sarnia. We were able to hold on, keep our spots and actually enjoy the show.
The night was well run. Treble Charger took the stage right on time, turnover was done in 20 minutes! OLP's set was predictable, but long and tight. Raine had lyrics problems -- but all else was good
In the aftermath, everyone got something. Allison scored 70% of a setlist, Stu got a whole one (Rich took a pic, should be online at Rich & Shelly's site), Gail got a Treble Charger setlist, several people got picks from the bands or Stace. Between all of us, we cleaned up.
We all found each other again and headed outside. I think Gail has a nice group picture of our entire crew: Gail, Allison, Fraser, Sand, Kruno, Jo-Ann, Rich, Shelly, Stu, me and a few others. We hung around near the tour bus and got warmed up in Rich's car. Thanks Rich! Because of the opportunities we got during the soundcheck, we didn't really care about the band coming out. There was no way they would have come out -- there must have been 100 people around the tour bus up until midnight. We took off and both got home in decent time.
I'll have pictures tomorrow night of the soundcheck, Treble Charger and a few from the show. Cameras were actually allowed! You'll see pics everywhere from everyone.
Until then:

Well I froze waiting in line for hours and then some skateboarder kids held my spot in line while I ran around to the back to meet Steve, Duncan Jeremy and Chantal K. but I didn't have a camera or a pen .. yes, I'm a moron. The crowd was pretty rough, where I was anyway .. 3 songs in I got kicked in the face by a surfer and today have a nice purple and red eye and scratches on my face, and an asshole guy managed to shove me aside and take my spot halfway through so I was shoved to 2nd row. Had my camera knocked flying when another surfer landed on my hand/head but the hot security guards gave it back to me. The birdman dance was amazing .. and watching Steve orgasm with Raine hanging all over him was definitely a plus. Met some great people: Gail, Kruno, Frasier .. R&S again .. and I think I got some great pics.
Good show .. thanks to Kruno for the guitar pick

I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.
