Garth, a meet up before the concert sounds like a great idea. I have always wanted to try Brasserie L'ecole -- a French bistro within walking distance to the arena (go to http://www.lecole.ca). Maybe I could organize something with the owners. Let me work on it. No promises. I am pretty busy with a teething 6 month old baby boy right now.
Diana, yeah, it's true that no matter where he plays, it will be phenomenal. He could be playing in a shack in the desert and it would still be amazing.
If anyone atttending the Victoria concert at Save on Foods Memorial Centre is interested in a meetup, let me know. If I can get enough people from this forum together, then I'll work on a plan!
Cheers,
Natalie

P.S. Only 48 more days to go . . .
