Well now, that was exciting!!!
My friend and I had a whirlwind drive into the city, followed by much angst trying to find parking! I'll try to give a more detailed report later, I'm still in Manhatten.
Gord and the band looked great! They looked like they were having fun, and Fallon seemed like a genuine fan. He mentioned 50 years numerous times, and ran up to the camera several times with the poster.
Gord sang iycrmm, and later did I'd Rather Press On, as a bonus when you watch it online.
We met up with a friend afterwards who works at NBC. He was trying to get us up to meet Brian Williams. We were rushing thru the lobby, and ran into Carter a d Chuck. I gave them both big hugs and told them we were in a hurry, and they did a great job.
When I turned around, gord was there! I introduced my friends, then told him we had to rush to go meet Brian Williams. Gord is still probably bewildered by my driving all the way down , then blowing him off for someone else. Oh, and Brian had already left.
We will be on our way home shortly, and may get home in time to watch.
What an exciting day!!
