Hi Patti,
I've heard Gord sing "Do" as opposed to "Love" in concert as well so I suppose it was by design. Maybe it's just that he likes a change from time to time. And speaking of trivia (I was, wasn't I?) how about the line on "The Lost Children" from "faded lips and eyes to blue" to "lips of blue and eyes of blue". Oh well....
Yes, Sheryl..."California Dreaming....." (one more week!) Is the group settled on three hours prior to the concert getting together and meeting at the "main" entrance to the theatre...which I presume would be inside the casino? I'll be tossing a Canadian Loonie into the air so you can recognize me. Very much looking forward to the event.
Sheryl, please don't forget to post a few notes late Sunday evening on your concert. (if it was great, I'll look for the white smoke signals.)
Richard

Wait! I'll have to put up the chimney pipe first! And... I just asked my Canadian husband, "What's a Canadian Loonie?" He has no idea. Isn't a loon a bird? What -- are you going to be tossing a stuffed animal into the air?! John -- didn't you say you were going to do badges for me at the Agoura Hills location?? We should wear our badges... In lieu of no badges, I'll be the girl who looks like my picture (LOL!) and is carrying a green purse. oooh, mysterious! YES! 3 hours before the show... in front of showroom entrance!! Can't wait! <squealing> EEEEEEEK!

Hi Richard,
I was probably just imagining things. "Do or "Love". Don't matter. I think the Loon is the Minnesota state bird. And the Sugar Maple is the Wisconsin state tree. I heard that there are people in California.

a loonie is a canadian one dollar coin. a twoniie (toonie) is a two dollar coin. we no longer have paper bills for one and two dollar denominations. we may be looking at a 5 dollar coin soon...We have just had a new two dollar coin circulated with Terry Fox on it. the first time any one other than the quuen has been on a canadian coin that is in circulation.

Hi Charlene,
Phew, glad we got that straightened out for our American friends before next week! Thanks!
Perhaps we can look forward to Gord's face on a coin sometime....well, if it has to be, I'd settle for a stamp.
By the way, Charlene, did you ever receive a Gord quiz from me; I sent you one since you did ask for "donations". It was kind of fun making it, and I wanted to make it a challenge for those who think of them selves as the true guru's of Gord. (there's an alliteration for you!)

Hi Char,
I will, once the adrenelin has diminished from the Massey Hall shows. Besides, we need to give people a chance to prepare for their Gord finals. Would you like me to send it in the quiz dept. or just here?
