A word to the wise: Great Big Sea have been attracting larger local
crowds on their last few swings through the area, as well as a substantial
cross-border draw from Windsor and environs.. Probably best to get tickets
early if you want to go to that show.

I agree, Great Big Sea are almost certain to sell out the entire
capacity of the Ark.

Great Big Sea is going to be at the Michigan, I think. Which I for one will
think is a Good Thing, since the last time they were at the Ark, there was
a lot of ill will.

(I'd guess that people travelled over from Canada
for the show, or from other distant locations, and these people
complained when they could not be admitted.)

Okay, you have to realize that I was working as a volunteer that night, and
that I was selling memberships to those people who wanted to drink alcoholic
beverages. First off, the Canadian fans didn't quite get the idea of a private
club and having to be a member to drink alcohol (and these Canadians were into
their alcohol!) and then the bar closed earlier than they expected. Due to
state law, the ARk has to close the bar a half hour before the end of hte
show, and GBS had chosen to play one long set, no intermission. I have *never*
heard such swearing and abuse at the Ark, towards the volunteers. It
permanently lost the ARk three volunteers I know of, simply because they felt
that being subjected to this kind of abuse was not worth the misery.
