Good because I would've been mad at myself if I could've gotten in even though I'm not 19 because I'm on vacation in the Toronto area.

Lori,

how long did they play for? Sounds like you had fun.. That's great you got to talk to Steve. you are amazing and inspiring to us also..

I can't believe they played the Drake. About how many people were there..?

Hey everyone
Some 10 hours later I've arrived back home safe and sound.
You know that feeling you get after you've been at someplace like Cedar Point riding roller coasters all day, then comming home getting into bed and still feel like your moving?

I have that feelign right now. My entire lower body is tingling from the rush of blood back to those extermieties

Grabed a few naps at rest stops on the way back, running on less than 2 hours sleep right now.

I need to shower, and have to hand over the keys to my old apartment, then probably sleep and recover for another 10 hours.

Then if your lucky I just may post my experience.

Well, at least it makes me feel better that they were checking id's, so I wouldn't have been able to get in anyway, since I had nothing better to do yesterday, could've driven up as long as I woulda taken one of my older friends (I have a driver permit, so as long as there's someone in the car over 21 I can drive). Hopefully OLP comes to Hersheypark Arena, Montage Mountain, or somewhere in Allentown or Philly or somewhere around here, since I have money saved up for tickets, and my parents told me I can go if they come.

I can relate to you only cause I am in the same boat. I went to see Duran Duran last night with friends in Alantic City. My friends stayed overnight in AC. I took the bus home. I dozed on and off on the bus ride back to the city(2 hours-1/2hours). I haven't gone to bed at all. I am apt sitting for someone and needed to stop off at their apt before going home. I am still reliving the show and running into old friends I hadn;t seen in 15-20 years. I also have a flight to catch in a few hours for Buffalo.. I won't get to actually sleep to later tonight.. problem is I am tired, but when I get anxious(the only way to describe it) I can't sleep.. So I understand the whole rollercoaster ride thing. For me though it feels like I am spinning round and round..

Get some sleep so we can read your review.

With all the talk on BOY sounding like U2 I am really courious to hear what it sounds like. Only cause as I have said numerous time that I was told a few years back they were trying to sound old school U2. Plus I find it really funny that U2's first CD is named BOY.. Things that make you go HHMM :lol:

actually with the reviews I am getting excited to see OLP tomorrow.. That plus I just booked my flight to LA. Even though I am seeing OLP tomorrow I am extremely excited to see them in LA(13 days). That place is really tiny. Only holds 250.. Talk about intimate shows.. SO you can understand my excitment..

Last nights show was sooo awesome....first time seeing them in a small venue...everyone was front row!
I had some funny moments last night....first...I was on the phone with Miro trying to find the place and as I'm walking down the street I ran into Duncan...he told me where the place was....then when I was waiting in line to get in...Steve held up traffic in his taxi...then I thought I saw Nam...so I shouted "HEY NAM!" the guy turns around...and it turned out not to be Nam...but then the real Nam showed up later that night...

New songs rock...well from what I could hear...I was in between 2 monitors and I wasn't getting the full mix....but still an awesome show!

and seeing everyone again in buffalo on Sunday which will be sooo cool!

well later all...just got up and I'm still exhausted!

Kruno, Miro, Rich, Shelley and I stuck around in the bar upstairs till just after 2ish...then we talked out in the parking lot by R&S's car...then I took the twins home....

BOAT · Post by **BOAT** » 7/30/2005, 10:19 am

to everyone who left:

I TOLD YOU THE NIGHT WAS YOUNG!!!

Rich, Shelley, Sab, Miro and myself went back into the drake for a couple beers. Needless to say a lot of people were there... including Jeremy, Raine, Joel and Steve. It's funny, most people there probably didn't realize who they were partying with.

I have never seen them so happy... and they were quick to say hello. Maybe it was the beer... but it helped me too... after a couple I forgot that I was sick.

As for the show itself... opening with Picture was brilliant...THat song gets wild at the end! All the new songs sounded GREAT... Wipe That SMile and Walking in Circles are very close to the originals (besides the new guitar riff in WIC plus the addition of new lyrics)... you guys have to hear Angels Losing Sleep in full.... wow.

That was one of the best Naveed's ever.... everyone was singing. THe kind of reaction you can ONLY get at a Toronto show... especially a small show like that. There was a great energy in that room.

probably one of the best shows ever. Thanks everyone.
