January 24th, 2010 - Hamilton, ON @ Copps Coliseum

[Lisa]

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. 

If you guys want more info just ask....

I live here I could try and recommend a place for you guys if ya want, let me know if your more into restaurants or bars or a little of both

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

I'll more than likely swing by the pre show(weather pending of course)... I'd prefer a good local non chain food joint, as I have been to swiss chalet here in the states and am not very impressed... But either way i'd be there

There is a massive parking lot right in front of venue, if ya wanna party there, or the mall that is attached to venue has a walkable roof on it, the whole roof is full of paths to walk on

here are some pics of the roof:

Wherever people are having a great time prior to a GNR show and hopefully the cheapest drinks... I'll be there.

I drove from Detroit to NYC for Hammerstein in 06. We had a BALL with some dudes who flew in from Chicago for the show. I'm hoping we all have a great time at both of these pre-parties in the same fashion!

Forget the parking lot, I'll be partying in the lineup
We did it for the Metallica a couple of months ago and it was awesome

Indoor venues for pre-shows are preferred....

Afraid of the cold?  cant be!

[jarmo]

No. But if I have a choice of sitting down indoors or standing outside in the cold, it's an easy choice....

Me too, I imagine it will be very cold that night

[oldfan]

I'd like to be inside in the warmth also, but you don't get on the rails if you don't get there early

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

[oldfan]

I just want to make sure the wife and I make it there, even if I have to line up at 6 am!
I've asked for a special request from Axl and I want to be right in the front if he decides to do it

Thank you.

Would be great if there was a decision made before the tour starts!

[AxlsMainMan]
