Duran Niagara Falls

11/3/06 - Friday

Amy and I set out for NF. early! We stopped to do some shopping along the way since i was in need of a good parka and there just so happened to be an outlet mall. We also stopped along for gas and had a fun lunch at an Arby's ... though i'm not sure where that was. I think PA.

We made excellent time - leaving our area at about 9:30a and arriving about 5pm.

We stayed at a great place called Seneca Casino / Hotel. There was room service, gambling, and a gorgeous bathroom.

Ok not just the bathroom, the whole hotel rocked. Its relatively new... so the service was great, rooms impecible.

11/4/06 Show day

I was nervous as all hell (of course) We had a great breakfast in then hung out most of the day just chilling out. After a good dinner at the three sisters cafe it was showtime so we gussied up and headed out - picking up VIP and First Row tix from will call and then heard from our gal where to go for our meeting with the band.

Thanks be they were all in a good mood, John and I talked shop for a bit, then Nick and I talked about stuff too -mutual friends and what nots- I tried to ask him if they drove to the venue but he misunderstood me and we had a funny moment. :) i love him. We had a funny moment with Simon also who surprisingly was in a super mood, unlike I envisioned he'd be like. It's always such a toss up with him.

Elated and on cloud nine we chatted with our gal and then went to our seats where we just about made it. the show was so super... full of energy and lots of little fun moments that only a fan can appreciate.

We invited Nigel and Allison back to the room with us and chatted - or at least i tried. I woke up that day with no voice - typical.

It was a lot of fun, I know i'm leaving bits out, thats intentional :)
