That's cool that Johnny, Laurel and Sammy were all there. I knew Sammy was there with Raffia because I was standing basically right behind them. Laurel told me she was there as well, but I hadn't met her yet (sort of). And Johnny well... how did I miss a giant? He should've been blocking everyone's view.

Also, yeah Neon Crossing is the one MAIN thing that sticks out in my mind every time I think of that show.


the only thing that stands out in my mind about that show is danko jones :freak: and raine climbing on the stage frames

Also, I don't like hearing about HMV. I missed out on pretty much the best deal of the year :(


If I'm taking the poster, I get to keep it! I wonder what they'd say if I asked if I could buy the posters from their walls. Hah...

You should definitely ask for it. I got a giant 4' by 4' HIPT poster from Tower Records that way! I asked for it, and the lady took my name and number, then called me when they were done with it. :D

@Nikki:

WARNING: totally random. :dance:

Just because you're the coolest OLP fan there is, I would like to know, what is your second-favorite OLP song? I think you've already said your fave was "Thief"?

:lol: That's like asking a parent to pick a (second) favorite child!

I don't know if "Thief" is really my favorite, but it's the one that means the most to me personally.

And :lol: & :oops: at me being the "coolest OLP fan". There are far cooler. :nod: But thank you. :)

Oh, Nikki, you know you just reek of coolness-ity! I'd have picked MindsOnLoan but he looks too much like John C. Reilly! :no: lmao..

Anyway yeah I know it's hard to decide which song could be your favorite, I have a hard time deciding too.. I love so many songs from each album equally. Candidates right now are probably "4 AM" (all-time list-topper) and "Wonderful Future", but I'm really starting to dig "Neon Crossing" and "Carnival".

Probly the best part about being an OLP fan is when people are like "whoa, that's an awesome song, who sings that?!?", and you can proudly proclaim "OUR LADY PEACE, old-skool man!!!"... haha they're always like :uh: HUH? really??.. and then they give that look that tells you that they're def. gonna be downloading some OLP when they get home LOL.

And I forgot about Raine climbing the scaffolding that supported the speakers.

Ugh Danko Jones is a hornball idiot who can't make a good song to save his life.

I still don't understand how Danko Jones got in on the tour with OLP and Joel in 2005. He was the worst part of the show.

Or in my case, "Yeah man, this is old school Our Lady Peace." "Really? It's weird. They have ONE good song." (Everyone says that!)

I can't ever pick either. I go through different phases. Sometimes it's Naveed, sometimes it's 4am, sometimes it's Clumsy, and sometimes it's All My Friends.

:lol: It's not there anymore, actually. Our microwave downstairs broke, so it is now in the kitchen. So Shadow is safe. :D Also, if you notice, it's sitting on top of a fridge.

Oh, and Danko Jones not only sucks he is freaking SCARY. *shudders just thinking about it again*
