I've never thought of myself as a Gord Groupie, and still don't (tho my family disagrees). I have attended 10 concerts since 2000. However, except for going to the gathering for the 3 Massey concerts in Toronto last May, none of these concerts has entailed a drive of more than a few hours. I am fortunate to live in New Jersey, which hosts at least one concert a year (3 in April), and it is a short drive to concerts in the New York and Philly metro areas.

I also saw Gord in "hot and moist" Florida last year, but it was purely a coincidence that my wife scheduled a vacation for our family the same week as Gord was in Coral Springs. Lucky coincidence tho.

It's odd that attending 10 concerts in two years can get you labeled a groupie, but attending 10 hockey or baseball games merely makes you a "fan." Curious. I wonder why?
