Welp the floors and cheap seats for this show are now gone :) I'm actually really excited for this. Last show I saw at Copps was Tool and I didn't have floors.


Title: Re: January 24th - Hamilton, ON @ Copps Coliseum
Post by: AxlsMainMan on October 30, 2009, 12:46:48 PM
Last show I saw at Copps was also TOOL. Pretty cool venue, looking forward to it.

If worst comes to worst folks, there is a Swiss Chalet like 2 minutes from the venue that seemed to be popular for pre-drinks before the two TOOL shows back in 2007.

Drinks and piping hot chicken soup sounds pretty awesome for the middle of January :hihi:

Both the Honest Lawyer and Waltz are the closest you'll get, inside Jackson Square and are attached to Copps Coliseum and the Sheraton Hotel.  I've been to both bars before other shows, it'll be a little busy...less busy if you plan on staying until midnight.   :hihi:

London's pre-party is at Jack's (the bar, not the poster). If it's bloody freezing in Hamilton come January, I'll be at the Swiss Chalet a block from the venue having a quarter chicken dinner and a rum and Coke ;)

 :beer:

Beer. The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems!

In any case I'll be heading to the show right after work so I won't be making any pre-parties.

It's definately more of a restaurant than a bar, but it was very popular when I saw Tool twice at Copps Coliseum back in 2007.

If everyone wants a definite bar instead, I was talking to someone who lives in the Hamilton area the other day who recommended a place called "Tailgates."

Tailgate Charlies is fucking awesome one of the best bars here, but its a walk and a half in the freezing Jan weather, there is also hess village in the area which is a shit load of bars on a small street, not too far walking to venue, if you guys need more info I live here, here is a small map of where these locations are...

(http://i49.tinypic.com/etf6mc.jpg)

the best thing about venue is there is a mall attached to it so if you get real cold jump in and warm up!

Sounds like gunsguy might be the dude to help. I'm good with whatever as long as I can get fairly cheap drinks before having to pay top dollar (I'm assuming) at the venue. I'll be checking into the hotel in Hamilton early in the day (3pm?) so as long as there's a definite place decided on before I leave Detroit, I'm happy.  :hihi:

I'm in the same boat as Jarmo; I don't care if it's more of a restaurant than I bar, I just want a place for drinks on the cheap side and that will be ok with a "party" environment as the show approaches.

If I do go anywhere pre-show it'll be either The Honest Lawyer or Waltz which are both inside Jackson Square, both of them are located on the south side (King St.) of the mall closer to the west side (Bay St.) entrance.  But I'll be going late knowing Axl's preferences, I'm not worried about missing Danko or Sebastian Bach.

I'm close too.. Burlington, used to live in the Hammer..Honest Lawyer is RIGHT there around the corner..drinks last I was there were a bit pricey but not too bad..But AMM has it right..Swiss is a silly chicken restaurant but it isn't expensive and you could walk just down the street in 3 minutes and be at the main doors of the venue...I think we should do BOTH..dinner at Swiss and few drinkable then journey over to Honest Lawyer to meet more peeps and more drinks ..then venue..who's with me?

AMM, pm either here or at The Syndicate what time you guys are going closer to the date..and if it's gonna be a 1/4 chicken ;)

thats not entirely true, every show I have attended on the floor I get up there, and most I came in right after opening band during the drink/piss break lol

I'm not trying to force a decision on anybody, but we managed to have places listed for the other cities way quicker without all the back and forth....

It's not a chain, it's indoors, it's not far from the venue.

Now I'm not aware of how good it is since I'm not a local...

Maybe one of the locals (gunsguy?) could confirm if it's a good place for us? From what I read on Google, looks great to me. There will be 3 people in my group, we'll be in town very early in the afternoon and we're meeting up with Neemo as well. So we'll be traveling with our own "mini-party" as is lol.

When we went to Hammerstein in 06 it was a bit cold out for May but the alcohol definitely helped. I'm sure the same will be true in Canada.

Does anybody have a proposed start time for the pre-party btw? I will be in town very early in the afternoon and ready to drink!

We're planning on leaving Detroit around 10am. Barring weather or border crossing issues, it looks like it'll take us 3 1/2 hours to get to Hamilton. So we should be ready to drink by 1pm or so.

I'm leaving outside of Buffalo between 11am-Noon... We're gonna swing by the falls for a little bit on the way(usually dont miss it when we go to Canada, especially cause we havent been there since the new border crossing rules)

Then we may go some other places on the way, so hopefully i'll be able to find you guys by then


I think a 6pm-7pm for the official pre-show would be good...

I live like a 15minute car ride away from the arena :)

honest lawyer is right attached to the venue, and also attached to the sheridan hotel (if anyone is staying there)

Ceilidh House Irish Pub is about a 15 - 20 minute walk..

hess street is 10-15 minutes away

97.7 is a great station, prolly be a good time, anyway let me know where to be and i'll see if i cant make it out, it'd be cool to meet you again Jarmo, hope the buss rolls with good time to spare

Here's what I'm thinkin.

If anyone is going to the Hamilton show, we should all hook up somewhere by the venue, or in the venue, and get a photo taken together. Say hello, group hug, rub and tug, whatever we gotta do.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure we'll all be there for Danko Jones, and lookin' for somethin' to do. So whaddya guys think? Wanna all meet up, someone have a sign held up at a spot we can meet at, and we could all say hello, have a beer, and maybe plan a dirty trick on J-man for fun.

It wouldn't be a HTGTH.com meeting without it.

It'd be great to meet all of ya, so if anyone has any plans, let it be known. I'll be the guy with the "Where's Jarmo?" sign if that helps.

I've only been over the border once in about 10 years. Luckily enough it was about 4 weeks ago. It went smooth enough. Coming back in to the US was much more of a hassle if I remember right. Just alot more questions and what not.

Just so we're clear, the pre-party for tomorrow is at the Honest Lawyer?  Makes sense that all forums party at the same place; we are all GNR fans after all. 

I plan on being at the bar around 7:00 - 8:00 and then making my way to the venue for 9:00ish.  Not really interested in Danko, I've seen Baz five times the last tour so I'm cool with catching the last half of his act (when he plays the hits).  Plus I'm not a fan of getting to the venue too early only to have over-priced alcohol cut off on me for some arbitrary reason. 

See you all tomorrow.

Cheers,

Andrew

It was great hanging with you last night, Gunsguy - - - I'm starting to gear up for tonight!!  (ok, truth is I've been doing that since Oct09 - ha!)

To bad quick thinking was not coming easily once you spotted him (starstruck for sure in my case!!) else could've invited Baz to your house and fixed him up a good quiet meal.......and the + + points you would've won with your wife for that would probably have been off the chart! 

Baz gives very cool energy - I loved the genuine smile he gave when we told him we were there for the show.

Looking forward to meeting more of you later  :beer:

A) Neemo; thanks for passing that on.

B) Jarmo-
I had trouble with the law years and years ago. I went over the border about a month ago just to make sure everything was ok before I got my hopes up and spent all this money. There was no problem then and now they won't let me in. I begged. I explained how much money I'd spent and explained how I really need them to make an exception for me. No dice. They all seemed quite please (literally they were laughing to each other) about not letting me in.

I was DYING to hear either There Was A Time or Prostitute tonight. Maybe they'll play one or the other for me? Lol

sorry... I'm coping the best I can. I am absolutely crushed by this.

They made it clear that I'm "flagged" in their system and that I'd be arrested if I tried again.

Jarmo-
They gave me a ton of excuses and explanations about much money I could spend on trying to get them to let me in. It involved hundreds of dollars and waiting periods of months and months at a time.

I'm not investing one red cent in Canada.

The only reason I was going there and bringing people was to see my favorite band from the US anyways.

At this point, I'm stuck hoping to God for a US tour sooner than later.

Seriously man i'd write my congressman or something... It just sounds like they're being pricks, and using selective enforcement....
I mean you have all the documents (which you would not have been able to get if you were a threat), and they let you in once already (It can be proved by checking the status of scans on your EDL)

I'd be soooo fucking pissed
