Oh and Tom, see if you can scrounge up some real Footy ducats while you are there.

Now THAT would be fun!

Thereyet - if you'd put some quality Canadian music on that there iPod, I might be interested...

(and quality does NOT equal Shania, Celine, or Alanis)

thereyet,

Please explain/describe Footy ducats. I have never been to London and have no clue what you are talking about.

T, Footy Ducats = soccer tickets.

Footy is a common term for soccer in GB.

Ducats from the urban dictionary...

3. ducat

Ancient word for a gold coin, originating from Venice,1284 AD. Still used in some languages..(Serbian, Croatian...)
Also, an admission ticket.

Hint:

Basically, if they aren't signed on by a major US record label, you can bet they're quality Canadian.


Obvious Answer:

Look up maplemusic.com and you'll find a lot of good ones.

Try Starling, Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, Stephen Fearing, Tom Wilson, Gordie Sampson, Joel Kroeker, Lynn Miles for a start. Those are some of my favorites (on maplemusic).

thereyet,

Thank you for the heads up on 'football' tickets! And yes, I really do know what I will be missing next Friday night in San Francisco! There are so many of you I have wanted to meet for a long time. Maybe we can put together a GTG next fall when I do my driving tour of the US?

But can you blame a person for not turning down four FREE nights in London? That added with the fact that I will be seeing my favorite 'US Football' team play in London!!

I know that all of you will have a great time next Friday. So toast Diablo and I will toast all of you while I am London.

Tom

Tom, I'm sorry you won't be there but we wiull definitely be toasting Diablo, and you having a great time in London.

I'm confused, though. Is it still at 6:30? Is there a pre GTG for lunch? We are driving up Friday morning so either way, we will be there!

cat, there's not a pre-GTG lunch that I know of, but Patrick, Lee, Paula and maybe LoveItaly will be taking a boat ride around the harbor at 2:30. We're meeting at Fisherman's Wharf if you would like to join us.

o tom, i was so looking forward to meeting you.
but to pass up this opportunity to visit london would be sheer lunacy.
please do put up your london pictures.
it is one of my favourite cities and i just don't visit often enough.
i still drool over your paris photos as i count down days to my trip.
and you know we will be holding you to your fall trip.
cheers diablo!

Hello agranz, it will be so lovely to meet you since we "met" on the Paris GTG thread! I am so glad you will be able to join us and know you will have a delightful time.
