I too will miss Val's site, but having given the site so much effort for so long with little thanks, she owes us nothing. She deserves a break if she wants it or needs it.
Perhaps we should give thanks more often while we are enjoying something rather than bemoan it after it is gone. It's true about life, it's true about love, it's painfully true about Gord and his music, and it's true about Val's site too.
As one of the guilty, I say my belated thanks.
For those who are having trouble keeping up with Gord's concert schedules (or don't want to miss out when he resumes touring), may I suggest that you go to
www.pollstar.com and register (free) for their service. You can designate artists whose concerts you want to be notified about, and when a new concert is added to the artists' schedules, you will receive email notification.
Pollstar's info is not as quick as Val's was, and it doesn't give advance notification prior to actual confirmation, but unless you need the first row at the concert or it's one of those concerts that sells out in 2 hours, you will receive notification in plenty of time to book a ticket.
