    Hi everyone

    I thought I would pass this along..

    It is crazy here today! Normally the city has a population of 32,000 people and there has been 33,000 tickets sold for the concert. What the heck they are doing in PEI I don't know. The local rumour mill said they agreed to come because they had never heard of the place.. My guess the city paid the big $$$$!

    Anyway enjoy and if you want to link to any of the city sites I will be happy to play tour guide.

        No I don't like to be packed in like a sardine. It would have to be one of my favourite bands to force me to go. It is pretty wild though there are people from all over North America here right now; it is bumper to bumper traffic everywhere.

          Did you hear about the ferries being backed up and the bridge traffic being very heavy? Did they ever find out how many tickets were sold?

            In nine months a record number of ugly babies with bug eyes will be born, but just maybe some real pretty girl looking like his daughter could end up being my granddaughter in law. lol

          Hi Richelle, welcome to the big city! It's fun to stay on the fringes and take in the spectacle. Gotcha about the sardines.

          Though whenever I get dragged to one of these events I always have fun.

            My best friend is going with her two sisters and they tried to get me to go but I declined- I am so out of touch though, I didn't even know the White Stripes were here last weekend.

            I actually think the last concert I went to was in Montreal in the early 90's. What was that band that the guitarist that was on the TV show RockStar in?

          Did you hear about the local K rock station who gave tickets away to the first man in drag that showed up? Take a guess how long it took before somebody showed up to claim them?

          I hope the concert site is situated in the center of the island...we don't want the island to list and sink.

            Reminds me of a girl I went to school with, she thought the Island was entirely surrounded by water, you know the bottom too, she thought we would float away and hoped it would be somewhere warmer. If I'm lying I'm dieing. lol

              It wouldn't surprise me if some people believed it!The crazy things that people think about PEI. I had someone ask me if we had electricity.
