Just ordered tickets for both nights Sept. 15-16 (Friday-Saturday) in Harris, Michigan at Island Resort Casino for my wife and myself. The friendly ticket agent informed me that the casino's entertainment building is still under construction and the concerts will be in a climate-controlled tent which seats about 1,000. She said they had their first concert in the tent last weekend and all went well.
The casino hotel is booked already that weekend so we obtained lodging at a nearby Escanaba motel. They said the leaves should be turning so what a great setting to enjoy Gord and the band.
Sunday morning we have to hoof it back to the Twin Cities because my son and I plan to see Gord in downtown Minneapolis on Sept. 17.
3 straight nights of Gord and a lot of driving in between. Hope gas isn't $5/gallon. If I am really brave, I will go to Wausau on Tues. Sept. 19. I put in for vacation from Sept 15-22 and my boss asked me where I was going. Didn't have the heart to tell her. She wouldn't have believed me.
The last time I saw Gord three straight nights was Massey Hall (May 2001) with many of you. Everytime I listen to "Shellfish" and "The No Hotel" on the Harmony album, I remember that we were in the recording studio those evenings. What a great memory.
