Are you staying the night? Stan is convinced we can see the show, I can get a little messed up and we can drive home to make pierogies for Easter. Let me know if there is an "official Ledgie site" that we're meeting at.

LOL! Hilarious. I'm missing out on my annual golabki-making day. Still might make them on Sat.

Anyway, yes, we're staying over night at a friend's house (she's "bikerchic" here on The Ledge.) Heading back early Friday. And I'll let you know for sure about when & where we'll meet up.

Read the full Only Cafe brunch spotlight

The Only Café serves up lunch, snacks, beer, and more. Brunch is served up on Saturdays and Sundays. It's probably the only place in the city where you can eat under the watchful eye of the Beatles, Vincent Van Gogh, Marilyn Monroe and Elvis. There are mismatched framed portraits of the famous and not-so-famous covering every inch of the dark green walls. It's very dark inside, romantic and cozy, the mood set by miniature lamps present at every table. Eating at this Danforth diner is reminiscent of a 1980s experience, where friends would congregate in their basements or garages, listening to records, watching television and playing pinball.

Raq N Waq
739 Queen Street West, Toronto ON, M6J 1G1
Phone: (416) 504-9120

Located in the old Future Bakery, the flour barn was saved from demolition and converted into the classy bar and pool hall. Raq N Waq has been around since 1997 and features some of the character from the bakery beforehand, including the flour hopper located directly above the lounge area.

Also included in the lounge are 11 top of the line Brunswick pool tables. Weekly events taking place include half-price appetizers on Sundays, half-price pool on Mondays, S.O.S. Tuesdays, 8 Ball Pool Wednesdays and Philthy Fridays. Raq N Waq also has a dance floor and patio for friendly gatherings.

All right, so Matt's suggested all these places. You guys pick one. Stan no longer wants to drive home, so we're looking for a hotel. The Danforth Music Hall, being off the well beaten path, don't know if I want to stay right around there. That is my project for tomorrow, to find a place to stay.

I am getting excited. I did see him in October, but I'm a lot closer this show. Cranked the "Under the Skin" CD on the way to work today. "...my children look away, they don't know what to day...", "so that's been a problem, feeling unseen, just like I'm living somebody's dream.."

I was reading some record reviewer's blog the other night and he mentioned Lindsey's "small but devoted fan base". Yes, I am a part of that. F***ing LINDSEY!

The Old Nick sounds OK for drinks. Theresa?

What time do you guys want to meet there? Is it walking distance to the venue? If so, 6 would be good (T and I want to get to the venue by 7:30 at the latest.)

Unfotunately I will not be going to the concert any more. I lost my job on the weekend and now I have had to sell my tickets and get some money to help me out until I can find a new job. I am so bummed. I wanted to go to this show soo much. I was looking forward to meeting you guys.

Ona side note beacuuase my Bus fair was already purchased I am still going to the Montreal show. But it won't be the same because nobody that I know is going.
