CONCERT REVIEWS Cook County Saloon, July 3/03 ~ Emerson Drive ~ July 3,03
~Cook County Saloon~ Joanne and I met up
around 7:30 and went over to where the bus was hoping maybe the guys were
around, But didn’t see the guys so after a bit we went inside the bar. We
found Lynn who had come from CT for the show. HEY LYNN!! We sat with her and her
friends for a bit when we happen to see Ryann a DJ from CISN who we have talked
on occasion, wow, he’s much cuter in person let me tell you.
Grey
Cup November 24/02 Edmonton AB (Grey
Cup is Canada's version of Super Bowl and the guys were asked to play at the
Pregame show) Well
Now I think I may have thawed out enough to type this now.LOL
Joanne and I decided to go down to the stadium for the “chance” we
may see the guys arrive or something. We
arrived around 1pm not really knowing where to go or anything. We headed over to
the ramp/loading area thinking this may be the best area to see the guys.
There was a flurry of activity going but no sign of the guys..
Every time we saw a rental van come down the ramp we were hoping it was
the guys. Finally
after about an hour of being in the cold I heard somebody playing drums and to
me it sounded like the drum beat to “I Should Be Sleeping” I ask Joanne
because maybe I am so cold I am hearing things. LOL, But She hears it to! We
keep listening, the guys were doing a sound check. A bit later on we look down and see the guys
coming off the field so we yell at Brad and he just looks up and waves at us…
SOO close but so far! Dang. Then like 5 minutes later I turn around to see Pat
B, Danick walking and realize they are all walking their, so we quickly follow
them chatted for a second to find out they were doing an interview with A-
Channel and then after we could get some pictures with the guys. Meanwhile we
had asked the chick from A-Channel when this interview was going to be on and
she said tonight I wasn’t sure if I be home but she said at 6 & 11pm so we
were safe. The
Guys then came back out for the interview they all had on Football Jerseys which
was cool Pat A and Pat B had on Grey Cup 02 ones Chris, Brad and Mike had
Edmonton Eskimos and Danick was the lone one in a Montreal Alouettes jersey. As
they were doing the interview we talked with Gerry he asked us if we were going
to be going to the game and we said nope he reaches in to his jacket pulls out
some tickets and hands us each a ticket! OMG!! Shocked we thank him for the
ticket and now we were going to see the guys play rather than be on the outside
straining to hear them. (Another BIG THANK YOU GERRY)
The guys finished the interview with A Channel and came back to us to
chat and take pictures. (hehe) we got a group shot with the guys and then I
wanted one with Danick, when I said I wanted my pic with him His face and mine
BOTH went red but his more so when the guys all went OHHH Danick
So I got my picture with Him (hehe) and then Chris, Brad and Danick
stayed outside a bit with us the others went back inside (chickens) We talked
with Chris and I was able to get my pic with him Then after they I got my pic
with Brad. I kind of wish the others had stayed outside I wanted my pics with
them as well oh well next time I guess.
Since the guys had to go we go inside so see where the heck the tixs are
for.. we find where we are and then try to see the stage from
where we were (not a good view) so we
decided to move up one level and could see the stage a bit better the pic
we knew wouldn’t be great but we had the jumbo screen we could take the
picture off of. We
could see the guy standing on the edge of the stage we were way to far away to
yell at the. They were bouncing around to keep warm and stuff Mike was hogging
the heater…lol.
Gone to a recent Emerson Drive Concert or met the guys?? email me I will post it here.
