Hi all,

Very exciting and all that. Who's going?
Someone else can make a little list if they like, but I'll be there with a couple of friends.

Venue link: http://www.clubsoda.ca/fiche.php?id=291
Ticketpro link: http://ww1.ticketpro.ca/event.php?event_id=1264

Someone mentioned they had problems with the ticketpro website, and it crashed when I tried to order, so I got them over the phone (514-790-1111; 1-866-908-9090). You can also buy them from Club Soda without the service charge.

Eggi and I will be there. And we've found a remarkable list of record shops. We'll raid the city... :lol: Meeting up would be nice... :D

Yep, plenty of good record shops.

I've moved to Ottawa, but will be driving up the afternoon of the show (and home after).
Andrew's not coming eh? tsk.

Club Soda is just around the corner from the place they played in 2006.

Nice little venue.

Yep, for some unknown reason they've cut it. But that wasn't planned, there must have been something wrong. Still, top sound quality. And Chris is utterly wrong if he "loves Toronto and likes Montreal". Sorry, folks, but Montreal is far better: Friendlier, multicultural or dominated by students, and we got a hotel that deserves its name for only 20 dollars more... :roll: Show was somewhat too intimate for my liking, due to the lack of barriers. I'm not used to being so close to the band and I prefer a minimum distance of 1 meter at least, as I really don't want to see all their scars and wrinkles... :wink:

Top Nite Out again! :D Greetngs go to Tony and Alberick who we've met outside queueing. Oh, and to the unknown Swiss couple :eek: next to us, who were discussing some obscure Swiss band after the Sisters gig.... It's strange to hear your dodgy mother tongue in somwe venue at the other end of the world... :oops: :lol:

Oh no - I hope they bring them back before Chicago! Flood II is possibly my favorite Sisters song, I quite like Romeo Down too and was looking forward to hearing it.

Don't worry, Nicole, today really was just an accident. Both songs were on the setlist, they just didn't play them. At some point Von goes to Ben, goes to Chris talks with them, then Chris goes to the Nurse, says something, Nurse shows thumbs up and the main set is cut, the encores follow. It looked as if Von had tooth ache or something that made them short cut the show.

No need to worry.

can anyone tell me about what time sisters have been hitting the stage? I'll definitely be going no matter what but my brother can only make the show if they start after 9:30 or so.
