What time are you all starting to line up for GA ?

I hope people line up late, I don't want to stand outside for hours freezing.

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

why do people think booze is the answer to everything it is not

Because Jesus said so.

It's not? when the fuck did this happen??? Why wasn't I told?!?!?

 

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.

Ok. I'm sure we'll all work it out as the date gets closer. I'll be in town early in Hamilton and London so I'll be all for meeting up with others and having some cocktails!

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."

[jarmo]

I don't mind if you can get food. I'm assuming some people might wanna eat and others just wanna have drinks...

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...



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

3 weeks !!! 

[jarmo]

So any suggestions on where people will be before the show?

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.

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.

[F*ck Fear]

The show is going to be great, I can't wait.

[BFD]

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.
