Make your mark (Lightfoot '07)

[RM]

Giving this a shot.....Charlene expressed a desire for a consolidated list of the number of attendees at the individual concerts this year. If you attended a performance, simply reply with something like "I went to the Tucson concert". I will then edit this post to reflect the number of corfidians along with their screen names. Accuracy will require your participation. You have until the end of the year, and I'll try to fill in the blanks.

Hi Ron,

This is a lot of work you did. Thank you and how would you feel about being the "Official Counter", again next year. You are a good person for the job and I am still sending many thanks for the great job you did. Would like to meet you someday. Don't be afraid, I'm harmless.

DSR

Hi Ron! I went to Milwaukee on Sept 19th, and Sheboygan on Sept 20th. :)

Vickie

[Gitchigumee]

As for me:

Milwaukee on 9/19
Rochester on 9/21
Minneapolis on 9/22

Excellent idea, to document this, maybe Gord will throw a private concert for us some day once we are able to show him how devoted we are! :cool:

[Claudia]

Minneapolis & Duluth for me.

[Peter Bro10]

I was at Aurora Sept 16.

[charlene]

I was at the March 3rd Niagara Falls show, the May 26th Toronto City Hall CHUM anniversary show, and the July 8 Orillia show .

I really appreciate all the work in doing this tally!
I'm sure when Lightfoot sees it and the dedication the "Net People" have in attending his shows and the anticipation we have for the next tours he's planning he'll be amazed. It's quite something to see it all tabulated this way!

[seafarer62]

I was at:

June 30: Cedar Rapids, IA
Sept 21: Rochester, MN
Sept 22: Minneapolis, MN
Sept 23: Duluth, MN

Afraid he won't be nearby in 2008 after this year. 2009 perhaps??

[imported_Ordinary_Man]

I was at Kansas City MO and Aurora IL

Steve

[AndyC]

Nashville, Sept. 12, great show. Sure hope he makes it back down south again next year. I'm jealous of all those who managed backstage passes and photos!

June 29 - Omaha, NE

Hi Ron , just got back from a week in Halifax, N.S.


This was a great ideal Charlene, Nice work w/ the colors RM. You can put me on May 11th, in Moncton, N.B. Also, Irish & sugar{Louise} were at that concert.

Thanks, all the best...

~Jesse~

[Kathy in Michigan]

I can hardly stand to look at this list. I am soooooooo envious (note tears on cheeks). I couldn't even make it to one concert this year and last year's concert was cancelled (Escanaba, MI). Will I ever get to see Him again? Please some one reassure me! I'm beside myself (huh?)

[charlene]

it was all Ron's idea to keep track of the shows and who attended. I just thought a final official tally would be interesting to look at and keep. Not just for us but perhaps The Man himself would be pleased to see it too!

[Jesse Joe]

That is exactly what I meant Charlene. Ron did a superb job all year and you came up with this final thing. Hats off to the both of you. :)

[charlene]

:biggrin:

[podunklander]

Kathy,

Yes, for sure, you will! He was great last Saturday night in Minneapolis, and was on the last leg of the lo-n-n-n-n-g-g-g-g tour. BTW you are from "God's country." Just came through both Lower and Upper MI., bet that the colors are awesome there this weekend!!!! Maybe we'll see you "Somewhere in Michigan", in 2008.

Dear Kathy,

You WILL be there for at least one or two concerts next year, because I SAID SO!!! And maybe I'll get to meet you, as I'm hoping to make it to your part of the country for "GordQuest 2008". I lived in Michigan (suburban Detroit) for part of my childhood, and I'd love to see it again.

[Steve]

I was at the 22 June show in Austin
The welcome message says: You last visited: 12-31-1969 at 11:00 PM
HAHAHAHA. I don't think it's been quite that long!

[OldDan]

I was at the Milwaukee concert September 19. Got to meet Gordon after the show at the stage door.

[Kathy in Michigan]

K#4,
Where in suburban Detroit????? I grew up in Redford Township. Small world isn't it?

Thanks for 'permission' to attend a concert or two next year. I tried to get to Meadowbrook, but it was going to be at least a $300 trip no matter how we did it and just couldn't justify it. (We're trying very hard to not use our plastic.) Usually this time of year, I roll up my change and we go somewhere for a weekend. There's not enough there for a whole weekend, but I think I'll save it all for a concert next year!!!! Yea, good idea!!! Talked myself right into that and plus K#4 said I had to!!!!

[Kathy in Michigan]

Louise
Yes, it is God's country!!! I love it here. Color watchers say the colors will peak in about 2 weeks. (I wonder if color watchers get paid?) This is also my favorite time of year.
Kathy in Michigan

[Bob, from Michigan]

Rochester Hills Sept 15th.

[BILLW]

If I could ask a question that has always fascinated me ? How many of us (from corfid) actually got to meet the other folks who attended the same show. If I had a nickel for every time someone said "I tried to find you", LOL. My wife thought I was crazy when I first started to post our seat numbers but I said "how are the stalkers supposed to find us?"

Anyway I think it's an interesting sub-folder for this wonderful exercise. Keep up the good work !

Bill :)

[maggiemaeking]

Hi! I'm a newbie. I went to the GL show in Minneapolis on Sept. 22. Awesome.

[maggiemaeking]

Does anyone have a play list from the Sept. 22 Minneapolis concert? I was so into the concert but now I'm having trouble remembering which songs they played.

From the main page of corfid, go to links and look at the first website listed: this list is from there.

Actually, it was more of a COMMAND :biggrin: !!
We lived in Roseville, and my grandparents lived in nearby St. Clair Shores. I think they're about 25 miles or so from where you grew up (?)

[RM]

Hopefully, this is not too annoying....just moving the thread back to the top. Thanks to all who have responded.

[The Rez]

Hear Ye [squared]

Let it be known that I, The Rez, was solely responsible for Dream Street Rose's safety at Gord's Mouse House of Bluze gig last January. Also, solely responsible for Gord's safety via keeping DSR from climbing the stage.

That show was my one-n-only for 2007 . . . but, the first from a distance of two feet since The Troubador in LA a lifetime or two ago.

Rez

[Dream Street Rose]

Hey Rez,

I will always be greatful to you for that night that now seems so long ago. Now I know why you were holding on to me so tight. Why would I have left you and my front row center floor spot to jump stage? We sure did have a great time that night at the Mouse House.

Looking forward to giving you some hugs during GordQuest 2008. Ken asked me to tell you hello from him.

DSR

[Kathy Number Four]

Hey Rez,

I will always be greatful to you for that night that now seems so long ago.
DSR

Hey Rez!

I will always be grateful to you too, for two reasons:

I was the one standing behind you that night, and we talked quite a bit while waiting for Gord to come out. And you were kind enough to take my jacket to him backstage to have him sign it for me... Thank you again :kiss: !!! (And I apologize for never having sent you the pictures as I promised, but I will now... please PM me with your e-mail address, in case I can't locate it in whatever purse I was carrying that night!)

Also, if not for you, I would not have met my very good friend DSR. She is now my sister, and my GordQuest partner. I hope to see you at GordQuest 2008!!

[The Rez]

Aww, Kathy . . .

so good to remember you, our chat, and your Fine Jacket. I only wish the Goofy Goons woulda let you go back w/ me! Very glad that Gord was very glad to sign it for you.

Grace Happens, don't it! So glad you and DSR have become close. [Hey, Ken . . . that's quite wonderful wife your blessed with and by . . . !]

I do believe I'm relivin' that night all over again . . . right now!

Bless Your Hearts and Smiley Faces,

Rez

[2Much2Lose]

In addition to the concerts someone has posted for me, I also attended the Sparta NJ concert (Apr. 20) with two friends.

Also, Danno attended the Wilkes-Barre concert with me. I believe he's part of this group.

DSR,

The original count was 54 concerts / 48 attended (using the tour schedule provided by Wayne Francis). If you include the CHUM radio appearance, it was 55 / 49. So far in this thread, 41 (including CHUM) have been accounted for.

[chillicothe20]

I was in Indy. It was amazing. 1st time seeing him. Hopefully not last.

This thread was approaching page 2....back to the top, hoping for more responses.
