Oh baby baby, how was I supposed to know?

The Circus Tour apparently involves 60 tons of equipment in 34 trucks and a traveling staff of over 200. Supposedly the biggest show Copps has ever hosted. And, I'm just guessing here, probably the priciest VIP seats.

There's even a pre-party at 6:30 at Bay St, guessing they'll shut down the street.

It's $32.50 for a ticket. There's no other price range so I imagine they'll be a stage and people grab a spot near the stage. The Stills will be playing as well.

Little taste of the concert from the Metric.....trippy!

So kinda like a big gymnasium. I've been on the fence regarding becoming a Metric fan. Sorry, but that video didn't help in making me a fan.

Now The Weakerthans (September 15th at The Casbah), and Joel Plaskett (The Studio at Hamilton Place in October) both promoted by Cincinnati Records. Both are well worth the price of admission.

We picked up 4 tickets (#'s 5,6,7 & 8) for The Weakerthans, but have to attend a wedding the night of Joel Plaskett.

ZOMG! High camp.

FairHamilton · #**129** Posted **Aug 22, 2009, 6:25 PM**

I found 2:28 even better, lol.

Don't know what happened with Joel Plaskett. He was originally listed here; http://www.casbahlounge.ca/UPCOMING_SHOWS.html, but now appears to have been scooped by HECFI.

Probably was selling better then they anticipated so moved to a larger venue.

Nope, it was listed at The Studio with Cincinnati Records as well.

Apparently Dane Cook is coming to Hamilton on December 10th.

Say goodbye to the old multicoloured seating at Copps Coliseum. It is being replaced by blue seating as part of a sprucing up. The lower bowl is being replaced now, the upper bowl at a later date.

thistleclub · #**136** Posted **Aug 28, 2009, 1:59 PM**

Reminds me of this:

SteelTown · #**137** Posted **Aug 28, 2009, 2:32 PM**

HAHA it does. What is that candy? Old people seem to always have it.

FairHamilton · #**138** Posted **Aug 28, 2009, 3:00 PM**

^^My exact thought when I took The Spec out of it's bag at the bus stop this morning.

Liquorice allsorts, I love that candy. You calling me old?!?

omro · #**140** Posted **Aug 28, 2009, 3:54 PM**

Liquorice Allsorts are a very English sweet. Thus perhaps with an influx of brits post war, that's why you associate them with those who are now old people
