Casino Rama Revisited

eaglesfans.typepad.com/la..._date.html (http://eaglesfans.typepad.com/latest_news/2006/04/glenn_solo_date.html)


Go for it, you lucky people. Interesting that the dates are July 21 and 22 - Don's birthday. http://www.anchoredbygrace.com/smileys/Suep.gif

[sodascouts]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm there. Who's with me?!

Edited to add: People who are planning to go should think about sharing rooms and costs. PM me.

OMG you beat me to it LOL!!! I was just coming here to post this!!!

I had a very, very good feeling, so I made a point of checking the Casino Rama website today because they said their schedule would be posted today...I am going to both shows!!! (Now, how I'm going to swing that moneywise, I don't know, but I am going!)

I just started jumping up and down and screaming. ;) I have a very injured knee, and jumping up and down was probably a bad idea...BUT I CAN'T HELP IT!!!

You have no friggin' clue how happy this makes me... :rofl:

My friend and I: "Nice coat Glenn!"

Joe Walsh, at next pause between songs: "Hey, nice coat, Glenn."

Glenn: "Thanks, thanks...yah, I picked this up at the..Liberace garage sale, glad you like it..." ;)

[sodascouts]

It is MEANT TO BE that you go, obviously. Oh my GOSH. I am looking at hotels right now. They don't tell you how much the rooms cost at the actual casino, which usually means they are too expensive for we plebes. lol

[PinkCoatGirl]

Oh, it absolutely is, LOL! I finally wrote the letter to him that I've been intending on for a year now...and I think I'm gonna put a rush on sending it just on the offchance... ;) "I believe in second chances...I believe in angels too..." ;)

I know we looked at the prices for the hotel rooms because I was so exhausted last time, haha...I believe they're around $200-$250, which yes...definitely too expensive...! The biggest problem with that venue is that there is absolutely *nothing* near it. I'd suggest looking at Barrie, Ontario...it's outside of Toronto by almost an hour, but it's much closer to the actual venue than the city would be, and I'm sure has some cheap Travelodges or Comfort Inns or something.

Dang it, why do they have to go on sale on the 13th??? I won't have money 'til next week at the earliest! :razz: LOL...the last time, it didn't sell out until the day of the show, though, so I'm not so worried...I just want to see those tickets in my hot little hands.

[sodascouts]

This is seriously blowing my mind. I never thought I would see him live. I can't think about anything else! Maybe I should just give all my students As instead of trying to grade this stuff!

[Freypower]

I hate to be a wet blanket but Glenn's shows these days are always 90 minutes. I hope he changes it for you, but he's not known for doing so.

[sodascouts]

90 minutes? Oh well. I'll take what I can get. I wonder if the kind person who booted the last show will be at this one, too?

This is seriously blowing my mind. I never thought I would see him live.

I know what you mean completely...that's how I was last year! When I first got into his solo stuff, I was like "Dang...I missed my chance!" And now...!

Oh *no*. And here we were, all, "Oh he won't be coming back but it's nice to dream"...NO. He's honestly going to have to deal with the HyperGirls. ;)

Hey, I don't think your students would complain!

I'm doing some research now - looks like I'm going to need to save up! And it's a 10 hour drive... guess I'll need a plane ticket too.

OK, this blows, but I really have to sign off this board or I will get no grading done. I'm already starting super-late. Glenn, why must you have this effect on me? lol

[PinkCoatGirl]

Haha...yep, I hear ya, I just realized I have a crapload of papers to go through and sign for the new job...was going to start when I got home, but instead...!

LOL...you could definitely *try* the 3-month license! There is a very high-class, pro-level golf course right near there...you know the guy's gonna put in a couple rounds and need some knots worked out of his shoulders... :twisted:

I am so there as well. And, it just so happens that I have to find a new job since I quit my old one. I believe I am very qualified to become a certified RGT. This is definately my dream job that I've been searching for. And I can assure you, this time I won't be b!tching about working nights and weekends. :twisted:

I'm just a hired hand working on the dreams I plan to try. The days go by...

[sodascouts]

My student's papers are sucking royally so I came back here to cheer myself up. Sure enough, it worked! Oh, I am so flippin' excited!

Edited to add: Kay - LOL!

[glenneaglesfan]

Wow! That is very exciting news. Go for it girls! Kay, looks like you resigned at just the right time!

This way to happiness...

[sodascouts]

And Melissa has speculated on Eagleland that there might be even more dates! I'm going to Rama regardless, but it would be tres cool if another one was within driving distance.

[tengo ritmo]

I'm hoping with all of my might that there are more dates! My summer is filling up quickly but I will miss whatever "important" thing I "have" to do just to run off and see 90 minutes of Mr. Frey. Hopefully my mother feels the same way... I've kind of made him her favorite too. ;)

We had a POMPOY moment in the car just now and I brought up these two shows and she was seriously considering it... but then I read this:

"...must be over the age of 19 to enter the Casino floor and the Entertainment Centre"

Duh. http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eyes.gif So much for that.

[PinkCoatGirl]

Aww Irene...I know...I think that is such a stupid rule. It's because you can walk anywhere inside there with your alcohol...but I don't understand at all why they connected the venue to the casino so that the *only* entrance is only accessible through the casino!

(Well okay...they want to lure concert goers to slot machines and bars...still not fair though. ;))

They could've at least made a wristband system or something. You know, if you're under drinking age you get this glaring ugly plastic wristband or something, LOL...ah well. Incidentally, the only place alcohol is not allowed is within the concert hall, which I THANK GOD for. I've been to too many shows that were almost ruined or at least seriously impaired by drunken fans (like my first Fleetwood Mac show where the people were yelling at Stevie to shut up during Goodbye Baby :mad: ), and although of course that still means you can get drunk and then go in, you can't further the drunkenness while you're in there. But I digress.

Awesome that you made your mom into a fan though!!! :D Hooray for converting people to our side! ;)

I know, right??? Ohhh I was so mad... :mad: :mad: :mad: Eventually I turned around and was like, "Why don't y'all shut up instead???" They actually just left, considering it was more than halfway through the last song of the show...thank God, so I got to finish out the show in peace! Somebody threw a beer bottle onstage at the end, too. :P

Well, Bree - if I told you, I'd have to shoot you. You see, I plan on being the lone applicant for this position! http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/ohwell.gif :twisted:

BTW - We got our tickets for both nights. I'm so excited, I can hardly stand it. We're in section F4 - Row 4 on Friday night, and Row 3 on Saturday. I'm already counting the days for this. Irene - that is so rotten that you won't be able to go!


~~~~~~

I'm just a hired hand working on the dreams I plan to try. The days go by...

[sodascouts]

Oh my gosh. What a horrible day. I have not gotten any tickets at all, because unfortunately, real life interfered! If you want to hear the sob story, read on. If not, just skip it, 'cause it's depressing.

Well, I knew today wasn't the best day for this. I had a meeting from 11:45-12:45. It was informal in that it was intended to give feedback on a dissertation to one of my friends along with three other people, but she has done the same for me, and I owed it to her to do the same for her. However, I decided I would type up the comments, print them out, head over there early, give her the comments with my apologies, then run back to do Ticketmaster. This was not to be.

I tutor as a sideline and I had an appointment with a South Korean girl to help her on a very important presentation for her department - she is a graduate student but struggles with pronunciation and smaller aspects of English grammar. Unfortunately, because it was such a big deal, she was very nervous and we wound up having to practice for a much longer time than originally planned. I didn't want to tell her "Time's up, I need to get tickets" because this presentation was important to her, so I just kept quiet, helped her, and tried not to look at my watch. By the time we were done, it was past noon.

So, I'm late for the meeting, too. I run to print off the comments in the computer lab, but the printer is down! Run a couple floors down to the next one - also down! I only find this out, of course, after logging in, which alone takes 5 minutes at least, closer to 10 sometimes with these slow machines. It's 12:30 by the time I print the comments out and run over to the Union where the meeting is. But they must have disbanded early because they were gone! Feeling terribly guilty, I spent some time looking for her, then finally dropped it off in her mailbox.

Now it's 1:00, and I suddenly remember I have an appointment with the scheduling deputy for class assignments for the summer and fall! I run up to the third floor, get my assignments (MAYMESTER is MINE!) and then it's 1:30. So I think, now I have some time before my students come in for their paper reviews at 2:30. THEN I REALIZE I LEFT THE PAPERS AT HOME. I rush home, get them, come back just in time. NO BREAK people. Now, at 4:00, I have a 15 minute break before the next student, so I took a chance and looked - no luck. :( Guess I'll keep checking back. SO SUCKY!

Next student coming in. SIGH.

Cause I'm livin' on things that excite me,
Be they pastries or lobsters or love;
I'm just tryin' to get by being quiet and shy,
In a world full of pushin' and shove.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I know Z. I have been foggy-headed and slightly dizzy ever since you gave me the 'excellent announcement'! I screwed up on Eagleland and gave Mel the wrong info too, but Molly bailed me out of that one. :blush:

Nancy - sorry your day was so sucky. Keep the faith - you'll get good tickets I'm sure.

I hear ya. I've had a hard time thinking about anything else today. I just got back from the grocery store where a man passed me with a t-shirt that read "Allister" across the front. I did a double take coz I thought it said "Allnighter". He probably thought I was checking him out!

I'm sorry, too, Nancy about your crummy day. I seemed to have the luck of the Irish with me today. My boss was the one stuck in meeting today, not me, so I could sneak home at lunch and order the Saturday tickets.

Soda, your day really sounded hectic, all right. Hope today was better.

Congrats to all of you lucky Glenn fans with tickets.

They just announced another solo date for him too, in Mt. Pleasant! I am green with envy--and desperately hoping for some Don solo dates soon! <sigh>

Have fun, everyone!

Oh, BTW--I just got my Peoria DVD from L&M, so whenever you want to schedule the next viewing party, I'm there!

Oh my gosh - another date!!!! Too awesome!!!!

[Freypower]

All I can say to this is I hope you all have a good time.

I made the mistake of saying to my mother yesterday that I envied people going to all these shows, and she said 'grow up'. It's not easy for someone like me who can't do this. I don't believe I will ever see Glenn solo. It can be difficult living down here, so far away from anything.

'You're so far away from me

So far, I just can't see'. :(

Now you can all go back to anticipating! :D

[sodascouts]

Aw, I'm sorry, Julie. Some people don't get it, do they?

I understand how you feel. Who knows, maybe one day...

[PinkCoatGirl]

I made the mistake of saying to my mother yesterday that I envied people going to all these shows, and she said 'grow up'.

Oh Julie...I'm so sorry. My family can be the exact same way--my mom still doesn't know I actually bought my ticket with my own money, as far as she's concerned, other people are buying me tickets...dang, I have some rich friends in her mind! :) If I told her that the shows mean more to me than having new clothes or other extras...she'd flip right out.

And I also know the whole living too far away thing...Glenn is very very very unusual, coming up here for no apparent reason. In general, if I know someone's touring that I really want to see, I start laying down plans right away to go to a U.S. show, because 9 times out of 10, they won't come here. And when they do? Double the price (hi, $250 for 10th row Eagles!). I understand... :( Hopefully one day he'll make his way down there..!

[Molly]

Julie, I do know how you feel. I was pretty sure I'd missed my chances of ever seeing Glenn solo or seeing the group live. I've spent the last 1 1/2 years being very envious of everyone's concert experiences. I'm still pinching myself that this is for real.

Geography doesn't have to be the thing that gets in a person's way. The Eagles have been practically in my backyard more than once. Sometimes it's just life stepping in. I'm grateful for this "second" chance -believe me!

I'm sure we all wish you could be there with us this summer. But never say never! Ya just gotta believe!

[glenneaglesfan]

I am envious, as it's Glenn solo, but it's going to be so exciting for you all!


~~~

This way to happiness...

[Freypower]

Thanks for the thoughts - and I just keep hoping! Meanwhile I am sincerely excited for everyone else.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I agree Julie - never say never! Keep your fingers-crossed. Even if Glenn doesn't book any solo dates Down Unda, I have a strong feeling that the Eagles may be back to see you one more time. And you just never know when a trip to the states may be in the stars for you!

Now - as far as my family, I have a somewhat opposite problem. If I told them I was going to any Eagles-related show, my two sisters and three nieces would all expect to share the 'excellent adventure' with me. However, tickets are too expensive to be buying for all the nieces, and we can't take one without taking the others - nevermind the travel expenses. I am really hoping that the guys will come close to my home one last time so I can take them. But, in the meantime, these shows have to be my little secret. :blush:

I'm just a hired hand working on the dreams I plan to try. The days go by...

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I posted some info on Eagleland with regard to info about car rentals and driving in Canada. Here's the link in case you miss it on Eagleland.

eaglesfans.sonicdns2.net/...php?t=6695 (http://eaglesfans.sonicdns2.net/viewtopic.php?t=6695)


~~~~~~

I'm just a hired hand working on the dreams I plan to try. The days go by...

[PinkCoatGirl]

Awesome idea dreamer! I of course don't drive and live here, so doesn't apply to me, but hey... ;)

A couple more suggestions: Either change your money on the US side of the border, or use US currency here. DO NOT change it at a bank here, and don't bother with travellers' checks because nobody takes 'em. I need to call the casino regarding something else anyhow, so I'll double check with them if they take US currency up there or not. If you change the money here at a bank, you'll incur at least a $3-5 service charge in addition to the exchange rate (which is currently $1CDN = 87cents USD, which it's been for about a year now). If you change it at the airport or any other foreign exchange place, you get horrendously ripped off exchange-rate wise and will also incur a service charge of a certain percentage (usually 3%) on what you change over.

I'll warn you about our money, LOL...$1 coin is called a loonie, $2 coin is called a twonie (we're tiny, we're tooney, we're all a little looney...er...um, I digress), a $5 is blue, a $10 is purple. Doesn't get to normal money-lookin' stuff 'til the green $20. ;) Don't get anything over a $20 because nobody takes 'em.

Also prepare for the fact that our highways are *not* well signed. If anyone's interested, I can post directions from Buffalo to Rama--rather than Mapquest, which is all fine and good except they've gotten me lost before, especially at the border (they don't always say the right/closest/easiest bridge to use and don't always put you right on the highway). Once you get on the highway to Rama, you're fine and Rama is clearly signed, you can't miss the turn-off...but everything else? You'll see a sign for the exit coming up in 100 kilometers and then another sign for the exit when it appears. Seriously.

I'm sure everyone knows this but it surprised one friend of mine so I'll pass it on...you will need 2 pieces of ID to cross the border, driver's license alone is *not* enough. License and birth certificate should do it, but if you have a passport, bring it--the customs people are dumb and given to creating passport-required laws at random.

Rama is *not* in Toronto, it's a good 90 minutes to 2 hours north of Toronto. They just like to bill themselves as being in Toronto. :) Add that in to your travel time, and watch out--*especially* for the Friday show, traffic on the highway that leads to Rama will be very, very heavy with people going to their cottages. Allow a lot of time.

Let me know of any questions...I'd be happy to update people on the gas prices at that time as well, as someone suggested over there on Eagleland. If anybody wants to post this on Eagleland, be my guest, I don't have an account there so yah... :) Oh yes, and Lisa's right, Buffalo is a much better bet--Toronto is the most expensive airport in the world to fly through, thanks to them randomly tearing down a terminal and building a new one. :razz:

3 months today!!!!! :D

PinkCoatGirl, it would be great if you would post directions from Buffalo to Rama. I agree about Mapquest not always being accurate. Dreamer and I had no problem getting from San Francisco to Sac, but couldn't find our hotel following their directions.

Ugh, Mapquest can be a pain. They're fine on the highways, but once you're in the city, they're inconsistent at best. Thanks for all the advice and tips, guys.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

PCG - It would also be great if you could let us know if the casino will accept U.S. currency. I didn't want to have to bother with exchanging currency, but I will do it here if it is going to be necessary. The last time I was in Canada (many, many years ago), I think most places accepted U.S. currency, and were quite familiar with converting it at the exchange rate. Thanks for offering to get this info for us. :)



~~~~~~

I'm just a hired hand working on the dreams I plan to try. The days go by...

[PinkCoatGirl]

Okay...I come bearing a little news, anyways! :)

US currency is *not* accepted at the casino (except possibly a couple restaurants, but he said even then, you're probably better to change it), but can be changed over at the cash cage thing (where you'd exchange chips for cash or vice versa, I guess). So I guess you're safe to just use US currency everywhere else and change a little over at the casino...I imagine they probably charge a fee although the guy didn't tell me that, and dreamer, you're exactly right--most other places don't have a problem with it.

As for directions, I'm going to have to get a hold of an actual map, hehe, because the main highway you'd use to get east to Toronto before going north to Rama looks to be closed that weekend, at least partially...so I'm going to have to find out where it's closing and how to get around it, and then I'll let y'all know for sure.

Less than 3 months! ;) And I finally was able to get my ticket for the Saturday show, although it doesn't bear repeating...I'm in, like, 50th row. *sighs* Ah well...at least I'm dead center, and I'll be there!

My friend and I: "Nice coat Glenn!"

Joe Walsh, at next pause between songs: "Hey, nice coat, Glenn."

Glenn: "Thanks, thanks...yah, I picked this up at the..Liberace garage sale, glad you like it..." ;)

[sodascouts]

Thanks for the information. Oh man this is going to be something!

Julie-

I'm coming in a little late on this thread (too much work lately--ugh!) but I am sorry about what your mom said too. It is so annoying when your family doesn't "get it." My younger sister lives in Atlanta, and last summer when Don & Stevie came there, I called her and asked if she would go with me as a favor. She agreed until I told her I wanted to buy the best tickets and then she blew a gasket, going on & on about how stupid it was to spend so much money on a concert, why did I care about this man so much....you know the drill. It really made me mad so I told her to forget it. Thankfully Lynda/sillykat emailed me and agreed to go with me, and we had a great time.


As someone else expressed so eloquently, I too will be living in "envyland" (insert picture here--Don singing "It's Not Easy Bein' Green") as many of you go to the UK and Casino Rama and other places to see the guys this summer---but thank goodness for this site and Eagleland, so we can live vicariously through you! Have a blast--I KNOW you will!

[Freypower]

That's right Dana. Thanks for saying that. I am over the 'envy' now, really! Living vicariously can be fun.http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/glasses.gif

You know girls I just don't think any of us can get enough of our guys - the more we see them, the more we want to see them again. Even though I'm going to Rama, I'd still just love to go to Europe and Mount Pleasants. (VBS> There's just no pleasing us, is there? http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eek.gif :(

I'm just a hired hand working on the dreams I plan to try. The days go by...

[DonFan]

You are right, dreamer--the more we see them, the more the WANT to see them!

[Perfect Little Sister]

Oh see...now that was a much nicer response than I'd have put. I was thinking along the lines of the more we see them, the more of them we want to see. :blush:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Well what I really wanted to say is the more we see them, the more we .... oh nevermind - you all can use your imaginations for yourself! http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eek.gif http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eek.gif

OK...so I bit the bullet and informed the family that I will be attending Rama. (took some guts let me tell you) http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eyes.gif

I am so looking forward to seeing friends again and meeting some of the other friends I haven't met yet! I can't wait! Ugghh...now I have to find a plane ticket.http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/indifferent.gif

[Freypower]

I am really happy for you and hope you have the 'Freyest' time ever. :pimp:

[sodascouts]

I know it wasn't fun to break the news, Lissa, but it WILL be fun once we hit the road to Partytown! ;)

[Molly]

Can't wait to finally meet you in person, Lissa! Glad you're joining us on our "excellent adventure"

[timfan]

Lissa I am so glad you are joining us!! Glenn is in for a treat i tell you !!! All of US!!!! :D

[Z]

Wow - you're ALL going.http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eek.gif

[tengo ritmo]

You lucky girls! I'm so excited for all of you, but I fear for poor Glenn... poor guy won't know what hit him! ;)

-Irene

Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

[sodascouts]

Wow - you're ALL going.http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eek.gif

If only everyone could go! Then it would be perfect.

Yeah, he's probably gonna wonder where all these Glenn Groupies came from! ;)

Uhhh...we like to ogle Glenn as much as the next person. :)

[Z]

Hey, don't forget that a couple of us are only there as a show of support -- and to have a good time. Right, timfan2? L&M? :D

A L&M point out, part of the fun is ogling Glenn, and you KNOW you are gonna be doing that, too, without Tim there to distract you. Therefore, you are also Glenn Groupies, at least for Rama. ;) Don't worry, I know when your fave is around it's a different story!

Dreamer -- the real reason that I'm going to Rama is that John and Steve refuse to cross the border to bail you and Molly out!

Oh crap - I thought Z and timfan were going to Rama so they could hold our purses! And now the minute Timmy turns his back, they're both self-proclaimed Glenn groupies ! :razz: ;)

Wow...somebody warn Glenn. He should be afraid...Very afraid :lol:

[Witchy Mummy]

I really hope you have a wonderful time..I only wish I was coming with you all :(

I can't wait for the detailed reviews :)

[sodascouts]

Oh, you'll get 'em, believe me. I'm bringing my laptop so I can post them on here ASAP, and I know I'm not the only one!

[PinkCoatGirl]

Hahahaha...I guarantee you he'll notice a difference between this year's crowd and the last...there were a lot of people who were obviously big fans there, but they weren't...um, well...they weren't to OUR level, lol! There was an overabundance of 85-year-olds who had clearly won/gotten comped the seats and went for the heck of it and didn't care, occupying center section...now it's gonna be all taken up by some crazy, screaming women... ;)

Warn him? Nah. 1- He'll love us, really... 2- Warning him would take all the fun out of it. ;)

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Z, first of all let me say that it warms my heart to have a friend like you to 'be there' for me in a time of need. :)

And WM and we wish you and all the others on the board who won't be there were with us too. The more the merrier. You will be with us in spirit.

And yes, I do think Glenn should be VERY afraid. :blush:

[glenneaglesfan]

First of all, welcome back WM!

Secondly, I admit I am green with envy, but also eager for the reports.

Thirdly, I think I'll write to Mr Frey to warn him, and suggest he does a concert over here instead, where we will guarantee to look after him!


~~~

This way to happiness...

[Molly]

A L&M point out, part of the fun is ogling Glenn, and you KNOW you are gonna be doing that, too

Ogling? I'm shocked! http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eek.gif

I plan on sitting quietly in my seat with my hands folded demurely in my lap, politely applauding at the end of each song. I may sway back and forth a bit, but I don't want to anyone to think I'm getting all crazy!

[glenneaglesfan]

We all believe you. We know you are all demure and respectful, and we are looking forward to a sincere and intellectual report on the performance.

We, who????

Just got our tickets for Michigan - we got the second row of tables, center. Not sure which exact table because I kind of flaked while I was talking to the lady on the phone, but I know she said "Second Row Center" and seats 1-3.

Yay!

Edit: Turns out that we are in the center SECTION, on the edge - but still the second row!

WHOOO HOOOO!! thats Great!!! Glenn's gonna get an awful big dose of "Glenn groupies" this summer!!! :D

[PinkCoatGirl]

Hmm...I really thought I replied to this! LOL! Speaking of flaking out... ;)

I CAN'T WAIT for Michigan!!! I just got the time booked off from my current job, although it looks now like I may have a new one by that time...ah well. The "family reunion in Detroit" excuse seems to be a good one, so I'll just haul it out again. ;) Truthfully, it is believed that my dad has relatives in Detroit somewhere so...we'll just go with yes, I do have relatives out there...and one of them happens to have a last initial of F, rather than D. ;)

All those lies...I hope I can remember... LOL! Thankfully, I *am* a good pretender...particularly when it comes to Glenn. Anything with the right incentive right? 2nd row...I have NEVER sat that close for any show in my life!!! So excited!

And Timfan, you're darn right...he's not gonna know what hit him! "Ack...last year, that crazy blonde chick was alone...this time she brought reinforcements!!!"

This is quasi-related to our Glenn Groupie "tour"... I went to a sort of "Stevie Nicks convention" for fans recently, and they had a comedian up there doing a routine, and he said: "I always swear when she tours that I won't follow her around the country this time. I ask myself, 'Do I really want to spend that kind of money? Do I really want to spend all that time? Do I really want to lose my job and apartment again?'" lol!

Now Stevie fans can be a bit more extreme but Glenn Groupies might begin to relate, eh? ;)

Yeah - I can definately relate. I think I'll just follow Glenn all over the country. Who needs a job? I personally think jobs are highly over-rated! http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/ohwell.gif
