I was at "An Evening with Blue Rodeo", in Kamloops, some years ago; it was such a small venue ... only 12 rows, I believe, on the floor ... sigh, if only they still made 'em that way ... anyway, we had been singing and harmonizing with the fabulous boys in Blue, all night, and were standing on our theater seats for the last song.

         The energy was intense, and we girls had never been happier, when,  whoosh! The lights flipped! and there we were, blinded by the light!

   And I fell through the back of my chair.

        yay.

Omigosh!     Even more embarrassing! I'm the only shlub out there falling through chairs at concerts! My humiliation is complete! lol

I haven't had that happen to me but I must confess there have been a few times at the Malkin Bowls shows when the plastic chairs didn't seem overly sturdy and the thought of the chair abandoning me has crossed my mind.  I hope it never happens.

Welcome back to the board Heather.

Greg Keelor met Jim Cuddy and then I met you people. Serendipity is a marvellous thing.

I know a song can make you feel good once
in a while." ~Greg Keelor~

This happened at a JCB show... I was sitting about 10 feet directly in front of Jim when I heard him tell the "Finger Lakes" story for the first time. Hearing the story along with the song just brought back a lot of memories of my own relationship with my father and I started to cry. My eyes didn't just well up a bit. I literally started bawling and I couldn't stop. The worst part was that I only had one piece of kleenex.

 

Speaking of chairs... this didn't happen at a Blue Rodeo concert... it was a Sadies/Tragically Hip show this past September.  Instead of making everyone in my row get up so I could leave... I decided to jump down the row in front of me... I had been trying to get backstage to say hello to the guys for a while now... but the security guards were being pricks.  We had backstage passes, yet they wouldn't let us go through until the end of the concert. 

Anyway, as I was hopping down to the row below, I accidentally got my foot caught in the chair (it was one of those folding chairs, you know?).  I let out a few curses and screams while the person next to me freed my foot.  And to this day, it still hasn't healed properly.  It still hurts when I move it a certain way.  You should have seen my ankle man.  It was all kinds of weird looking colours.  It didn't hurt that much at the time... and I did manage to go back and talk to the guys FINALLY!... but the walk back to the car afterwards was pretty painful.  I couldn't walk on my foot for a few days after that.  So yeah... pretty embarassing!  haha! 

And Lori... I'm surprised you didn't mention our little escapade at Barrymore's???

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood."

Oh, Hazysoul, thanks so much! Nice to be back!

   Ouch, Allison!  That gives deeper meaning to "painfully embarassed!"

        Now ...what is this "Barrymore's" you speak of ...hmmm? (twiddling fingers, eyebrow raised!)

    I went to a B.R. show at The Molsons Ampatheater when I lived in T.O. during the show I decieded to take some photos from up on the hill where they have the lawn seating, I had the camera up to my eye looking through the view finder,when I backed up and fell over a couple that were laying on a blanket watching the show, the womans drink spilt all over my lap!!! So I spent the rest of the show looking like I had P*ssed myself! My date almost P*ssed herself laughing when I went back to my seat and explained what had happened. Embarrasment x 2!!!!

U talkin' to me? I have no idea what you are asking. The only thing embarassing didn't happen to me. It was everyone's reaction to the t-shirt I wore to the concert on Saturday. Lori asked me if I mugged someone at a gay pride parade to get it.

There's nothing worse than driving in a snowstorm with a GPS that's on the rag

Oh gawd! I couldn't even tell you half the things that happened that night! It's all just a blur! We had a hell of a time though! LOL!  

HeatherB:

It didn't officially happen AT a concert but before.  And I tease NYCBRFAN cause he never seems to let me forget it. LOL  I was caught by Jim Cuddy shooting pepto on the street in Bellingham.....I wasn't feeling well due to a little too much partying in Seattle the two nights before and that was all Hazy's fault she was mixing the drinks. JC's comment...."its okay...it gets easier the more you do it'

Its actually more funny now then embarassing but at the time I was pretty embarassed.
