Oh cool.. I've been to Blackstrap a few times. Used to attend a little music festival called Georegstalk out there.

I am also hoping for a Calgary show....I was torn whether or not to head to Vancouver for this show but hey, why not---if they come to Calgary later this year, I'll go again!!! lol I'm originally from Vancouver so its always nice to go back 'home' and I'll be staying with my best friend downtown. Thankfully my dh is very understanding....all my kids are in school so it works out perfect. Duran Duran and Depeche Mode are the only bands I would travel to Vancouver to see anyway, so seeing them once every 3-5 yrs makes a good trip to the coast for me!
I am so excited about this concert!! ;D

Haha yeah Duran is the only band I would travel to Vancouver from Saskatoon for.. and like you tammill I was pretty torn on whether to dish out the cash to make the trip but like I already said, I didn't want to pass it up. I could only hope to get to see them twice in one year! I must add, I am also sooooooo excited for this show! Too excited I'm annoying everyone around me lol

I must add, I am also sooooooo excited for this show! Too excited I'm annoying everyone around me lol I'm pretty sure my dh is going to be sick of me talking about it too!! I will try to spare everyone else from my mad obsession!! Like you with DD, I am that way with Depeche Mode. They come first for me....lol Yah, traveling from Saskatoon is quite some distance. I was looking into using my airmiles for it but then WestJet has a sale on right now and I can get a flight for $226. So I'll have to figure this out. I'm just glad its springtime in April....I can't wait to be in Vancouver just to breath in the ocean air...well, from Stanley Park maybe!! lol Tammy in Southern Alberta

The Astronaut tour was on while I was living at Blackstrap. My hubby, son (who was a baby) and I flew to Toronto to go to the DD show. My family is still in T.O. so we had lots of offers to babysit our son. Our family plans to go out to the West Coast at the beginning of April, when our son is on spring break. We have a cottage on Pender Island, so two trips out to BC in one month is not practical for me. Also, I'd probably be going alone to the DD concert...if I got a ticket. You all should annoy the heck out of everyone about this show. It's DD for pete's sake

LOL, fortunately I don't have THAT far to travel. I grew up in N. Van so I am still familiar with the area. I went to the Police show last May on my own, so I'm old hat at it! Looking forward to meeting up with people.
