I also asked her some questions so I could write a mini review for you nice folks.

This was *her* first Gord concert. Everyone was packed like sardines at very small tables. Very cozy atmosphere. In her words: "You're snuggling with the people in there!" She said it was a huge thrill for her to see him perform. He was wearing black pants, a long-sleeved white shirt and a vest. He chatted about the view of the train tracks from his room and he also explained the history behind certain songs as they came up. One guy kept yelling out, "Blackberry Wine!" She said Gord just glared at him. After Old Dan's Records, he and the band members walked off the stage, so she and a few people walked over to the side to talk to him. He came out to pick up another guitar and chatted with a few people for just a moment, then he and the band walked back onstage. She said (she realized afterward too loudly) "My, that was a short break!" She said Gord looked over at her and smiled. When it was over, some people were gathering over where Gord would come out, so she stayed there, too, hoping to meet him. He eventually came over to her, but, she was so nervous, she said, "It's o.k., you can go talk to the others!" She said her brother (who came with her) looked incredulously at her and said, "You told Gord to go away???" She laughed when I basically said the same thing to her. Hey, the girl was nervous!! Well, she'll be there for tonight's show and tomorrow's (I will be at that show, I'm leaving tomorrow morning for Reno), so, hopefully, she won't repeat *that* mistake and will actually TALK to The Man this time!!! Ultimately, she said, "It was AWESOME! It was just unbelievable! And it ended too quick."
