I posted this in Small Talk but I think it belongs here. Are we doing anything re: badges or the like for the weekend of the concerts in Hamilton?

Lynne Ackerman from Toronto wherever the heck that is sent a message to two Yahoo groups of which she is a member
1. Val's "Mailing List" at:- http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/GordonLightfoot/
and 2. the private Masseyconvention group at:- http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group...seyConvention/
3. there is also David Sims GL fan club group at:- http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group...htfootfanclub/
where Torontonian Ray Murray still posts in splendid isolation despite recently being
appraised of the existance of and the links to both corfid and the Newsgroup
Lynne said
"November 9, 2004

Who's going to Hamilton to see Gordon in concert? Are there any plans to get
together while we're there? I'm kind of surprised that there hasn't been any
discussion about this. Mind you, I still don't have web access, so maybe
there's been some talk on the corfid site.

Lynne"
Basicaly Lynne you are correct there has been some limited discussion on who is going, where
they are sitting and even where they are staying on both corfid and the Newsgroup.Indeed
Susan and I are finalising the design of an identifying badge for us "net people" and its
distribution and I had intended today to publish here and on the other main Yahoo groups
(Val's Mailing list and the fan club and the convention group) a summary of info gleaned from corfid and the Newsgroup.
Having said that and despite your previous attempt to explain to me via email the
convoluted arrangement you have with an Internet Service Provider for looking at the
internet I really do not understand how you can say "I still don't have web access"
yet you are obviously able to see this group and receive/send emails. Maybe you can better explain face to face in
Hamilton eh??
I also would like to point out that the mailing list group members number a staggerring 66 and the convention group a further 96 although that number will doiubtless increase with a modicum of publicity as the anticipated Massey 2005 fast approaches.So obviously the vast majority of Lightheads do not subscribe to those two groups. These two numbers plus the 251 members at the fan club group with many duplications are I feel sure only a small percentage of the hundreds nay thousands of Gord's "net people" who patronise either corfid or the Newsgroup
Anyway from a corfid topic
"Got My Tickets " at:- http://www.corfid.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/002591.html
I see that the following are going to Hamilton:-

BIll Wallace (BIllW) Baltimore MD

and in another topic he reported that he had taken over "ticket 31" from bjb (see below) but which row and on which night unclear
I thought originally he was going for one night only??
"Minstrel Man" a teacher in Hamilton itself third row CC seats 9-19 (probably not all at once!!) Monday only
Gordon Henman (gord) Brantford ON
Orchestra row H
"Bonnie" Knight? (bjb) Edmonton Albera
Laurel Hoover (LSH) WA
Jimmy Jones (jj) Toronto (presumably will be there)
Lynne Ackerman Toronto
Yuri Amatniecks Toronto (presumably will be there)
Char/Charlene Whitby Ontario
Jenney Rivard CT
Diane Johnson NH
I also know that the following cannot make it as they are saving their pennies or cents for Massey or other reasons
Valerie Magee CT/CO
Cathy Cowette Maine
Kimberley Prendergast CA
Bruna Zanelli (silverheels) Shirley England
Susan Zunt who was blissfully unaware of the excitement until she saw Lynne's message!!

The "other" Orillian David Bradford (djb) too far away in Sweden
Deb(bie) Brinkley (brink) Colorado
Annie (auburn annie) Auburn NY
Walter Lamont (Borderstone) AZ
Unknown Ed Mullen, Matt Carl Derek Kidd
there is a Newsgroup thread started by Char subject
"ad for Hamiltonshows" at:- http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&selm=B 2i0d.12928%24k14.4133%40news04.bloor.is.net.cable. rogers.com
which added:-
Mellisa and Denny Joe from Austin TX
Harold Christie from NY state
also Dan and Nanci Rosetti from the home of the Hamburg(er) in NY
and Brian Murphy from Toronto??
who is in row CC seats 9 & 11 one night

I will have more to say later aboot a proposed identifying badge and the question of where
everybody is staying and where we could all met up before the concerts
I will now post this on the three Yahoo groups plus corfid and the Newsgroup so apologies
in advance if you are faced with reading this more than once
Finally if you are going and I have not shown your name here please email me soonest as time
marches on and I would like to publish a consolidated list later
Just send me an email at:-
fowlesjohn@hotmail.com
woo hoo I have now after some cajoling been upgraded by the hitherto parsimonious Microsoft organisation
from the miserly 2MB account limit to a whopping 250MB so no more full inbox problems (at least not for a while)!!!

Actually, John, I’m flying over for the Modigliani Exhibition at The Art Gallery in Toronto.
I didn’t realise GL was playing, too! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif
Both men can strip a woman bare and “look through her soul.”

Great job John,
I was thinking 'somebody could probably compile a list if they were smart'. And bingo, here's a list. Thanks. You were right in that I had planned one night only. But as we were pricing and dicing my wife said "why not go to both shows ?" I couldn't think of an answer so I contacted 'bjb' and bought seat 31 in row J for Sunday night. And then I get to move closer Monday night to seat 26 in row CC. I will be staying at the Sheraton which Gord tells me is right across the street from the venue. So include me, if you will, in anything from Sunday afternoon until Tuesday morning, LOL.
Thanks again,
Bill

P.S. 'bjb' is still trying to sell seat 33 in row J for Sunday night last time I heard.

I'm experimenting with working with images. I tried to make a badge this afternoon just for fun. Here is what it looks like. This is also my first attempt at a picture post. Here goes:

I'm going to have to try again tomorrow because I can't get at the original image file. Glad I could make you laugh charlene.

For now, to see the image, click this link:

The original image is much sharper.

Interesting Mr Payne Sir
your site has your mug shot on it and your email addy
http://classes.hdch.org/tspayne/defa...s/image009.jpg
your "x marks the spot" was because you had tried to display the web page:- http://classes.hdch.org/tspayne/corfidbadge.htm
not a graphic image so it could not display here
But you can access your badge at:- http://classes.hdch.org/tspayne/corf...s/image001.jpg
and by judicious use of the now famous [img] and [/img] tags display the actual pic:-

Just trying to help!1

Thanks John. You obviously know your way around the computer. I knew what the problem was, but I didn't know the actual name of the image. Didn't really consider that you could find that infomation out. Of course you also brought me out of the closet digitally speaking. Well, guess I'll have to live with that now. I think that I might have to post a better picture too. Seems quite blurry doesn't. And for anyone interested, I've started "Coffee house Friday" in my classroom. Every Friday in grade 10 English, starting last week, I play a song or two at the beginning of class. Last week I played, CRT and my own song, "For all Time." Unfortunately, I screwed up the lyrics of my own song! Oh, I also played IYCRMM. That's all for now.
