Lynne Ackernman 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 so obviously the vast majority of
a modicum of publicity as the anticipated Massey 2005 fast approaches. These two 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:-
Gabrielle (Gaby) from Leicester England
Seat 9-Sunday
Seat 34-Monday
Orchestra - rows C & G.
BIll Wallace (BIllW) Baltimore MD
#26 in row CC
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 "stationmaster" from scarborough Ontario SHAME!!
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=e...ble.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)!!!

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 http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

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