Which is pretty lame, to be honest.

umm. i think it was a generic soldier, but i was kinda rushing when i saw it, so i didn't exactly take a good look.

i'll go back the day after tomorrow and check it out, hopefully with a better camera, too.

It is definitely a neat-looking poster.

Although I still like Spiritual Machine-era posters better ^___^

I saw those red posters all over the university when the tour was first announced. :D

This is what they printed in Edmonton's Vue Weekly:

Image
And if I don't make it known that
I've loved you all along
Just like sunny days that
We ignore because
We're all dumb and jaded
And I hope to God I figure out
What's wrong

FYI - Joel said last night that it's just him, not the full Pedestrian band opening on the Canadian tour. And they only get 20 minutes. OLP guys will support him, and at least some of the shows (at this point mainly Ontario) Emm Gryner will help out too.

:D

So it'll be like a repeat of last year's tour? :)

Oh by the way, did anyone happen to catch the Edge Session yesterday in Buffalo?

This tour is making my hair go gray.

Kathy14 wrote:.not tickets have still not arrived... 11 days until my first show. WTF!

I have to mail tickets to someone and I'm never going to get them in enough time to send them!

Oh, and some Kitchener show unsold hot seats were released and sold. Woohoo... more last minute concert goers who can sit in front of me.

most of the time with tickets purchased online, if they aren't sent out one week before the show, you just have to pick them up at the venue (on your way into the show). you just have to show ID to prove that you're the purchaser.

Yes by my issue is I have tickets that need to be given to someone else and I will not see him before the show.

And in addition, the venue (in Canada) is sending tickets to etix (in the US) who is sending them to buyers (in my case, in Canada). How friggin stupid!

Yup. This thing has just been such a hassle. Pretty disappointed with the whole OLP crew for this.

I am gaining gray hairs by the minute. I still have no response back from Etix. I just shot an e-mail to michael@etix.com though. I'll see if that gets me anywhere. Thank you Johnny for posting your e-mails your received.

I have no hot seat merchandise and no soundcheck information either.

I'm pissed.

Your tickets have not yet been sent. As soon as the venue sends the tickets
