St James Cagney Day 2011

I am going to Detroit. Canada will fill 90% of the theatre

[RICHB]

Are these bars quite close. Dont want to find my way to terminal 5 and then get lost again ha ha. We only fly in at two o clock so I wont have a clue. Decided on a taxi to terminal five

They are all in the half-mile range, or a little less. Maybe take the taxi to one of these places, and wander a bit. There are a ton of bars on 8th and 9th Avenues between 50th and 57th Streets, but there is very little on 10th Avenue, and nothing on 11th Avenue that I know of. Unless you want to get a transmission fixed, or get your your car washed.

100 posts - Yay! Only took five years.

Cool thanks for that. Ha ha maybe somebody will start a meet up page nearer the time

So should i hold out for Fall USA West Coast dates???

Or stop being a cheap ass and hitch hike to the Mid-West and/or East Coast???

Anyone from CA thinking about going to Chicago or NYC???

[muin]

Just like we did in Buffalo at the World Juniors (hockey) last night.
Revenge is sweet!

errr. I'd like our Superbowl winner to challenge your Grey Cup winner. American Football is our game!

[Pogues to Niagara]

Who was the Grey Cup winner? Should be easy there's only 7 teams to choose from!
Unfortunately I'm a Bills fan.
To your credit the USA is now our biggest hockey rival, I was looking forward to that game more than the final against our old rivals Russia. It should be a sea of red in Buffalo again tonight, I wonder how long it'll take to get across the Peace Bridge?
Good luck against Sweden today though EH!

Is it March yet?

As luck would have it I think I will need to be in Chicago on 3/3 so it's looking good that I will be able to make that show. I am still trying to work out taking a trip to NYC with my wishy washy wife.

I'll do a little internet research and see where in the D you played back in those days - I can imagine you guys in all sorts of cool venues!

The Pogues almost always played at St. Andrews downtown. I remember seeing Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper open once (maybe 7/12/85?), and then later Luka Bloom (6/17/1988). That was back when the Formula 1 cars raced through the city, and the race was the next day. Very wild and fun night, which ultimately led to my divorce! When Philip broke his arm and was replaced by Joe Strummer, they played at Todd's Sway Bar on 7 Mile Rd. This place was a gay bar during the week, and a punk bar on the weekends. They also once co-headlined Pine Knob (now DTE) with The Violent Femmes. Mojo and Skid opened that show also. in 1989 (Shane's last appearance with The Pogues here in Detroit area), they played The Power Center in Ann Arbor. Phranc opened that show. I was really sick of seeing her at that time as it seemed she opened for every good show that hit Detroit. After that they played all their shows again at St. Andrews. Hoping that the Detroit show at ROMT sells out. Just saw Gogol Bordello there a few months ago and it is a pretty good venue. If it does sell out and you are going, get there early enough to get main floor. They only open the balcony if the show is sold out and who wants to sit upstairs for a show like this? By the way, the place has a full bar with waitresses. Gotta love that!

pogues from Niagara. Going to the Detroit Show from St Catharines. How about a meet up?

[Pogues to Niagara]

mick7, sounds good, in Detroit or Niagara? I'm based in Grimsby, we'll be heading into Royal Oak early, probably do the Brew Pub and Gusoline Alley and wherever else looks good.

To anybody from Detroit, assuming I can haul my ass out of bed the Saturday morning after the show (March 5th), are there any pubs in north Detroit (close to Royal Oak) that would be showing the Man Utd v Liverpool game of European Kickball? I hate missing a game, especially against self pity city!

Cheers

Can have an early get together. My nephew lives in Beamsville and he is going also. He went with me to see the Pogues in NYC on St Patricks day 2007. We are going to Detroit on the Friday morning and coming back sometime Friday. The footy game may not be a bad idea. e mail address mick7@sympatico.ca

There's a McIrelands (aka cookie-cutter Irish pub) in Birmingham called Dick Odow's. It's not far from Royal Oak and they might be showing it. I actually saw Spider play there a few years back. Good beer & whiskey, but yuppie hipster crowd. I'll ask around when it gets closer and can probably let you know - remind me!!!!

Last I heard there were 100 tickets left for the show so it will certainly sell out if it hasn't.

Any places closer to downtown area that a Gooner could find a stool?
