Jarmo's Canadian Tour 2010 Blog Discussion

[thesloth]

Not much in Edmonton is there Jarmo? Except for that crazy ass mall with rollar coasters n shit in it...biggest mall in North America i believe

fuck load more to do there then in Stoon or Regina in the winter.  For Stoon Jarmo head down to fudruckers for some burgers that is about all I can recommend.

Jarmo - How was Edmonton? Did u guys have a chance to go to West Edmonton Mall?

[Tercel59]

When in Regina...go to The Abby Restaurant downtown for supper (on Albert Street 2124 Albert Street 545-8811) or the Rooftop restaurant has good appetizers, bar food and drinks on Victoria Ave close to Broad Street.  Regina is like a town 220,000 people.  Ten minutes from Hotel to Brandt Centre - Evraz Place. 

Regina has more restaurants per capita then any place in North America  and has the longest bridge over the smallest body of water.  (Wascana bridge by Wascana Park) 

For Pizza go to the Copper Kettle Gourment Pizza at 525-3545 and location downtown Regina at 1953 Scarth Street.

I got into Edmonton and went straight to the venue.

Didn't have time for sightseeing.


Had a day off today so there was more time to explore.

Edmonton show last night was amazing. Thanks to Guns and family for coming back!! See you next time!


Jarmo - Do you know if Axl travels with the band in the bus or prefers to fly?

[Tercel59]

Jarmo....Saskatoon according to the members of Buckcherry was the wildest crowd on their Spring 2009 tour in May.

Also the Cruefest tour last year in August...Vince Neil also commented on the wild crowd and referred to them as bad muthaf&*%?..I was at that concert but not on the floor and it was indeed pretty wild

I'm sure it will be showdown between Regina and Saskatoon as to which concert has the most responsive fans

The hookers on sixth street are always a sight to behold in Regina...

[Tercel59]

I didn't know there was a 6th street?? new to me.  But there definately is a 6th Avenue and 6th Ave North HA!  You must know that area of town well
6th street?

Heh, so the rumors are true, but it's sixth ave and not sixth street? I actually just heard about it from a coworker whose son moved to Regina and she said he drove her by there going somewhere and sure enough there they were. Only hooker I ever saw was when one approached my uncle when we were in the casino a couple years ago. A casino that has excellent and cheap smokies, I might add.

But, thanks for clarifying the exact whereabouts for those who need to know!

If Jarmo is traveling with Fernando, is he also hanging out with Axl and the band?  I understand if he wants to be discrete about it, but whats the point of his blog if he leaves out the most interesting stuff?

I'd say that because he respect the band and that they have the twitter stuff going on, the band do their bit and Jarmo does his. He's always been that way, and to a degree probably a reason for Jarmo to be accepted into the inner circle, let him keep it that way. IIRC other forum owners have developed this friendship too, and why not. You can't believe the press and all they have to say. FWIW, rather this than anything we've had before, a mellow Axl rhymes with happy

Has anyone ran into or seen Axl in Canada outside of the venues he's playing at?

Hey Jarmo,

Glad you're enjoying the sights in Toronto.  Get as much in as you can 'cause, and not to be an asshole, there won't be much to see in Hamilton tomorrow.  London can be a pretty town, but not around the venue.  A few suggestions while you're in Toronto:

Kensington Market (Toronto's best eclectic market).
China Town (close to Kensington Market)
The Museum (it just had a massive renovation, worth checking out).
The AGO (it's free on Wednesdays from 6:00 I belive.  It too just had a massive renovation; designed by Frank Gehry).
The Steamwhistle Brewery (right between the Rogers Centre and the Air Canada Centre - has pretty good tours and lots of beer).
Dundas Square is kind of cool; Toronto's lame attempt at creating a pseudo Times Square
C'est What is one of Toronto's oldest bars, use to be a stable I think.  A friend of mine works there, Christine (little blond), tell her Andrew Downs sent ya.  It's right by the St. Lawrence Market. 
Another few good bars around the area are the Bier Market on the Esplanade and the Beer Bistro at King and Yonge. 

Um, that's all I can think of right now.  Let me know if I can help with anything while you're in Toronto...

Cheers,

Andrew
