Well put, Dreamer. I know it's nerve-wracking and you just want to be there RIGHT NOW, but I know it will work out just fine for every last one of you. Don't spoil this glorious period of anticipation by worrying about things that are unlikely to happen. Hey - I had volcanic ash and a dust storm to contend with last year, but I made it to the shows and had the time of my life. And so will you! :grouphug:

However, the good news is that most everyone is flying in on Monday and the first show isn't until Tuesday night. a deep breath and think positive

Except me (and maybe TimFan) but I'm not stressing. I fly in Tues afternoon, and I'm gonna think good thoughts and not "sweat the small stuff". Looking forward to meeting everyone!
Seeing Glenn -- not so much :lie:

I told the kids yesterday! Laura was a little put out that she wasn't going (as expected) but both of them took it well once they got used to the idea that they'd be eating in TGI Fridays, Eddies or McDonalds for a week! Not to mention Pizza Hut. Once I'd used the 'pressie' word I had them won over!

Pardon my ignorance, but what's the 'pressie' word?

I think it means "present(s)" (gift, etc).

I guess Mommy's gettin her 'pressie' from Glenn. Lucky Mom.

08-04-2011, 09:45 PM
GA - glad the kids are okay with Mommy being gone for a few days. After all, I'm sure they wouldn't want to deprive Mommy of an opportunity to pay a visit to "Uncle Glenn"! :lol:

You know, after Glenn's 2006 Casino Rama shows, PLS and I were driving through customs from Canada to America and "On the Border" came on my iPod (which was hooked up to the radio so we could play it in the car). Cool, except I got distracted and accidentally pulled into the line for 18-wheelers. Got some funny looks from the guy checking passports...

I'll be more careful this time! lol

I got my Canadian money this morning. From one colony to another (heh, heh). Their $20 has the Queen on it while she is on our $5. Strangely the other notes feature past Prime Ministers. I can tell you now there is no way a former Prime Minister would ever get on an Australian note. I was listening to Joni Mitchell's Amelia in the train; a song about travel obsessives like me. Once you have travelled the thrill never leaves you. I was telling the guy in the bank about what I was doing. Weird.

GlennLover
08-08-2011, 11:52 PM
LOL, FP! They aren't present day Prime Ministers on the money. I doubt we would have any from the recent past!

Does getting the Cdn money start to make the trip more real? Do you feel the time getting closer & the excitement building? To me it still seems like a dream, however, the excitement is growing!

No, I did say 'past' Prime Ministers, but Australia wouldn't even do that.
It does seem a bit more real now. And I just realised that I mentioned Joni Mitchell there, who is of course Canadian. I have not been to Canada since 1990 (Vancouver).

Well, he sort of forced it out of me. 'Why are you going'? 'A concert'. 'Who'? 'Glenn Frey of the Eagles'. 'Oh, right, now Don Henley's the singer, isn't he' (:eyebrow:) to which I said 'so is Glenn Frey' & rattled off a couple of song titles, to which he said 'Take It Easy is a favourite of mine'.

Yes - I can tell that you aren't counting, HH! :thumbsup:

OMG - I can hardly believe that in exactly just two weeks we'll all be about ready to head over to the casino to see some guy sing a few songs! :partytime: :partytime: :partytime:

08-13-2011, 05:08 AM
I know the feeling Soda! My tickets are on my worktable and every time I look at the little folder they are in I reread them, just to see that I'm actually GOING to a Glenn :heart: Frey gig (2 in fact) after wanting to for SOOOOOO long! I cannot believe that in 9 days time my flight will be just about to take off! For me the whole adventure is really beginning on the Monday. I've bought a new digital camera as well specially for the trip!

10 DAYS TO GO!!!!!!!!

Henley Honey
08-15-2011, 11:52 AM
We had record rain here yesterday -- 10.2 inches in a 24 hour period in some places -- so it got me thinking about the possibility of travel delays next Tuesday. So . . . . . .
I cancelled my Tues flight and am driving up on Monday!!! I'm always up for a road trip and its only about 7 hours -- very "doable". We can take our time on both the way up and home. I'm sure it would have been fine if we flew, but I will be much less anxious with an additional day to deal with any delays rather than just a few hours.
It's starting to feel very real!!! Getting excited!! :partytime:

GlennLover
08-15-2011, 04:24 PM
Better to be safe than sorry, HH. We chose to travel on Monday for the same reason. Can you believe it? This time next week we will be on our way :partytime::partytime::partytime:!

Glennsallnighter
08-15-2011, 05:53 PM
Indeed, yes, HH. I too plan to be in Toronto Monday evening. Tuesday would have just cut it too fine. It does give me a little bit of leeway if there is any delay. Though obviously I'm hoping there won't be.

This time next week I should be about to board the Toronto flight from Chicago..........:partytime::partytime::partytime:

So guys... if you could ask him to play any song... what would it be?

I think mine would be "Part of Me, Part of You" or "That Girl." Or his cover of "My Girl." Or "River of Dreams".....The fast version of "Smuggler's Blues"...."You Belong to the City" without the falsetto... OK, maybe I'm getting carried away. lol

(BTW, it was four years ago today that Glenn played Fallsview the last time!)

Hmm. . . . Where to start?
I've got mine, True love, I found somebody, The Allnighter,
Somebody, Love in the 21st Century (fast, live version) Smuggler's Blues,
and (just cause its a fun song) Partytown.

But then again, he could sing the phone book and I wouldn't complain!!

Oh, now, Soda, you should not have asked this because you know you will get an essay from me.

First of all I know you don't like it but I LOVE the slowed down version of Smuggler's Blues & I really hope that's the version we get because the audio I have of it at Casino Rama is just cool.

If he does YBTTC I think it would be likely he would do the 'proper' version because that's what he did at the House of Blues.

You know that when you saw him at Fallsview last time he did ILTWAWD, IDTWNW and YANA. That is what I would like. But that was then. We have seen his approach to his LROOE songs with the Eagles.

I know very well that asking for POMPOY is like asking for the moon. Sadly, great though the song is, great though the Strange Weather album is, Glenn has not played one song from it since 2000. I think that is dreadful. But there is nothing that can be done about it.

I think it's highly likely the setlist will be the same as the Casino Rama setlist. At least I might get I'll Come Running Back To You which I have never even physically heard, as there is no audio available. And I have HEARD I Hear You Knockin' and Some Kind Of Blue, but obviously never seen them (or I Found Somebody). I could go on & on here but being realistic I don't think there will be any surprises.

sodascouts
08-16-2011, 07:03 PM
Who cares about realism? lol

But as far as Smuggler's Blues on Valium... not for me! He did it that way at the Manhattan Beach show in 2008 and it was a total snooze. Besides, Glenn has enough slow stuff without tranquilizing one of his most slammin' rockers. (I admit I'm prejudiced because it's one of my favorite songs of his).

To each his/her own, though!

I'd like to add to my list the HFO arrangement of Peaceful Easy Feeling. Stole that idea from Draemer. ;)

Soda, I was watching a very blurry video of that version of PEF this afternoon. I would love to hear that too. I'd also like The Allnighter, The One You Love, ILTWAWD, & True love. And here's really reaching for the moon-After Hours! Realistically I don't expect any big surprizes. Just to be at his solo show is enough for me. I'll be flying high no matter what he sings!!!! :inlove:

I agree with that completely. This has been my dream since that very first time in 1988. After Hours (SWOON) what a thought... but it's OK. I really don't mind.

Yeah - It's hard to believe that in just one short week, we'll be in Niagara Falls. As far as the setlist, I'm one that really doesn't care what he plays. I know I'll enjoy the show no matter what. My wish list is way too long because it pretty much includes just about everything he ever recorded and then some. It would be great to hear all my favorites that I've never seen him perform before.

I just called my sister to ask her about getting wet since she was in Niagara Falls in July & went on the Maid of the Mist. She said that you don't get wet at all because of the big hooded ponchos they give you.

timfan
08-18-2011, 03:45 PM

Someone mentioned the Hard Rock Cafe at Niagara Falls; I HAVE to go there at some point. As for Maid of the Mist it's cool if they give you ponchos because I'm not lugging my big waterproof jacket all that way for a week. It weighed me down enough in England last year.

I leave for the airport in 3 hours. I'm so excited! It's been a rough week at work including my 14 hour shift on Friday when I planned to pack. What can you do when your employee brings in a doctor's note...:brickwall: But I managed to get everything done this morning. Even treated myself to a much needed pedi. Can't wait to see everyone!!! I heard there's some guy doing some kinda show while we're there...maybe we can fit that in.:wink:

I'm doing some last minute packing, but I don't want to be too late going to bed (not that I expect to get any sleep)!

We''l have to check into that show that PLS mentioned. We'll see how our time goes. ;) Anyone know who the guy is or if he's any good? :laugh: ;) ;) ;)

Well, it's been one helluva week and I am finally packed and ready to go. I'm getting ready to go bed to try to get a little sleep before I have to get up at 4:30 a.m. to get ready for the airport. But it will all be totally worth it. Looking forward to seeing everyone who's going tomorrow.

As far as those shows that PLS mentioned, I think I'll pass. They are usually so lame!!! :lie: :lie:

And OBTW - just to repeat something that has been mentioned a few times already in this thread ...

WOO....... HOO.....HOO....

About to leave for the airport. I didn't get even one minute of sleep, but hopefully I can sleep on the plane... although I had hoped to get some work done too.... ugh!!!! No rest for the weary.

But I know I will forget all about any worries as soon as I hit Niagara Falls!

Well when we reach a momentuous post most of us like to post some of our favourite pics or favourite videos of our favourite Eagle.

However after over 5 years, 4 and a half of them on the Border, I have reached post 6000.

And for me it is


GLENN:heart: HERE I COME...........


See you in Niagara Falls tomorrow night!


And thanks to everybody on and off the Border who have supported and encouraged me in making these gigs. I can't wait to meet all the Borderers who make it, and to the others I'll do my best to take the best pics I can. I'll be thinking of y'all. :partytime::partytime::partytime:


Now one minor hitch which I should record in the hope that those meeting me will catch. I've already texted Soda.


My plane leaving Dublin is running 6 hours late which means I will miss my connection to Toronto. As a result I'm on the later one (The one that I could have booked for about €150 less originally only I didn't want to be putting the others out). Its flight AA3874 and will arrive at Terminal 3 In Pearson Apt at 2359, ie midnight local time.

I think you've topped all of us---I can't think of anyone that's flown to a different country to see an Eagle in celebration of a posting milestone! :hilarious:

Sorry about the flight delay but it will all work out and you will arrive in plenty of time!! If not Glenn will just have to wait for ya!!!

Safe travels to all of you in the air today and hope to hear from you on the otherside!! Keep us updated PLEASE!!! I'm so excited for you all!!

I haven't been on the board for a while... I checked this thread today and looked at the calendar to see how many more days and realized it's all happening now! OMG, how exciting that everyone is in the midst of travel plans and tomorrow the magic will happen!

I'm so happy for all of you and can't wait to hear what each and everyone of you have to say after your glorious shows!

I don't have to tell you to enjoy, because I believe the celebration has already begun!

Hope Glenn is in flirty mood again, like he was in Berlin with the Eagles. I'm sure he's gonna enjoy all the attention you ladies will give him. :)

Safe travelling. Can't wait to hear all about it.

Sounds like what happened to me last year on our trip to Aspen for the POT show. My early morning flight was canceled and I couldn't fly into Denver until almost 6 pm. Poor Nancy, Kay, and Lissa sat there in the airport waiting for me for nearly 8 hours. But they were great sports about it and didn't let me feel bad about the whole thing even though I kept trying to apologize. If anything is guaranteed in the world of commercial airlines is is delays, delays. delays. :lol:

You all will be together soon. I am so excited for all of you!!

Well I've made it to Toronto. I'm in the airport! I'm kinda tired alright, as I've been in transit exactly 24 hours! I know Nancy had meant to meet me off the earlier flight, then GL sent me a pm to say that the arrangements had changed. I'm just wondering what I should do now. Should I head to Fallsview if that's where everyone is! Or should I stay here? The mess up was all as a result of my flight being delayed so I've nobody to blame over this but myself!

Prettymaid
08-23-2011, 07:30 AM
GA, don't you have Soda's or one of the others' phone number? Seems like you needed to have some sort of back up plan. Hoping you all are getting a good night's rest and everyone meets up without any problem.

TimothyBFan
08-23-2011, 08:13 AM
So is everyone where they should be at this point? I sure hope so. At least we know Lisa is in Toronto but how about Julie? She had a journey that started on Saturday. Geesh!!! Hope Glenn appreciates the things these women are going through to see him. :hilarious:

Brooke
08-23-2011, 09:22 AM
Ga, I hope you have met up with everyone by now and are safely in Fallsview. Thanks so much for keeping us updated!

We finally got here in NF @ 3:30AM local time. We all came together in the van from Toronto ( me, FP, Dreamer, Soda, GA & PLS & Harold). We're all fine but tired. I met up with Julie at the airport @ 1:30PM & had a wonderful afternoon getting to know her. Nancy, Kay & Lissa picked us up after we had supper & we went to the Hard Rock Cafe & had a great time while we waited for Lisa's flight to arrive. We're Sooo excited about the concerts!

Glad everyone found each other and you're all safely at Niagara Falls. The first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning was "It's the 23rd! Today's the day. I can't wait for the reports!"

Have a blast, everyone, and send Glenn lots of love from all of us back here.

I don't know just when Kath gets in, but she will be meeting up with us. Julie was able to spend some time with her in Toronto on Sunday! Haven't talked to the others yet this morning. They are at a different hotel.

Just after I posted this Soda caught up with me! I did indeed have her number and had been texting or calling her during the day, but she left her phone in Memphis!!! I believe she was quite upset when she was on the plane and realised! Anyway, she was equally worried that I would miss HER! Still alls well that ends well. And we are here! And We'll be seeing Glenn :heart: tonight!

Thanks for all the good wishes and encouragement! I really can't wait for this. Dream coming true as we speak!

Hi all! Just using Nancy's laptop to repeat GA's comments about meeting everyone. It was so cool for it to happen at last. I had no problems although 14 hours to Vancouver was a long time. I had a day in Toronto where I went up the CN Tower & spent some time at the Hard Rock Cafe, then I met Kath & her father & we had dinner in Chinatown, met Ann & Harold, then eventually Nancy, Kay & Lissa, but because Lisa's plane was delayed we had to go back into town, back to HRC, back to airport, didn't get to Niagara until 3 a.m. But we're here!

FP, PLS, and I have just gotten ready. We are SO jazzed! Dreamer, GA, GL and her husband are getting ready as well. We're all going to meet up with HH and her husband for dinner. This is going to be great!

HH just texted us and said that the show will be videotaped! Now whether or not that has any lasting significance remains to be seen.

BTW, I was indeed VERY upset that I left my phone. I just hope I left it at home and it didn't fall out of my purse in the parking lot, which is the other possibility. Of all the times not to have it!!! Thank goodness we all got together eventually in spite of it.
