I AM SO THERE. I saw them there the last time when it was the Corel Center. Hopefully this time around people are more lively.

Well I am back with a story to tell.
First off I took the 96 bus to Terry Fox Station. I crossed the 417, wlaked through a ditch and jumped a faence to get to Scotiabank Place. I was there from about 9:30am- show ended. I met amanda aka abtuse_muse., and her mom. we hung out and she was all cool and had food to share. It was nice of her.Througout the day we made some more friends Lisa,Kara,Amanda #2. We played cards shared a pizza that we had delivered to the venue. It was so much fun. Later I was told by a grumpy security guy that Gate#3 might not be used for the GA floor access. I freaked out becuase I know for U2 it was #3, and what was I standing here all day for? Well we were ok, but NO CAMERAS were allowed. Tthey were being really strict by taking cameras and handing them back without the batteries, so I didn't risk it
The Black Maria were from Toronto and they were ok, but they scream alot and you can't hear what is bein said. I liked the sort of ballad Concubine.
Stone Sour were awesome. Lead singer Cory took swigs of water and then spit it out all over us. I was drenched in his backwash. he said the F-word many times and said it was in the works for them to come to Canada. He said that Through Glass was #1 here and the new CD was allready gold here.
The show was awesome, ATILF Amy said will be single #3. Lithium was AMAZING, and the song are really good live. Then something happened that PISSED ME right off. Before Evanescence came on, I was GIVEN a setlist by a security guard. I never saw him coming my way, as I was talking to Kara. The people around me wanted to see the setlist and read it. So I held it up and as I was doing that, these up to now nice people beside me snatch it from my hands. I was furious so I said GIVE IT BACK like 10x. I was GIVEN another one, he aksed if he coud first take a photo of it? After he took the photo they grabbed iy from him. We start arguing over this and they say that a) the setlist was in the girl beside me hands and I grabbed it. and b) she starts saying they have 1 setlist and that there was only one. EVERYONE that I hung with that day. Saw that there was 2 setlists given to me and stolen from the losers beside me. They even go so far as to talk about KARMA and how I was getting paid back FOR STEALING IT FROM HER HANDS, WHICH I NEVER DID.
I saw one of the setlists a bit later on so I tried to grab it. They scream Ow you pulled my hair, you touched my boob." PLEASE she was so flat and a bonerack there was nothing to grab. So I failed, but in the end KARMA paid them back because a) Midway throught the set bonerack passed out, and had to leave. b) A random nice girl I don't know was reading the Evthreads.com Ottawa thread, and recoginzed my face and and gave me the setlst she had. So it all worked out in the end. I just go to a lot of concerts and I NEVER start trouble. They were lying through their teeth. In fact MANY A Tori Amos pre -concert meet and greet I have helped to keep civilized,fun, and enjoyable. When I saw them walking by the merch table. I showed them my set and said "I got one anyways." I heard them say they were going to the Billy Talent show in Ottawa. I am NOT. Thank god I'd hate to see them again.
