I was wondering, are there any french fans here? (I mean not french from France but since some of us are from Quebec)?

I am almost perfectly bilingual, so if you would like to express yourself in French, please go ahead. If everyone else doesn't understand, we can certainly translate.

Well I'm ok in english too. English is a big part of my life (music, radio, TV, internet). I was just wondering if there was other people like me loll It's just that sometimes it's hard to really explain what you're feeling when you don't really know how to say it in english...

Canadian Cookie from Vancouver here!
I'm determined to find a way to go to the Tacoma concert on July 12th.

Hello fellow Canucks!
Saying hello from Cambridge, Ontario!!!!
I'm so glad I found this thread! And I'm glad to see there are a bunch of us!!!
Hopefully one day we can rally DC to the Great White North!!!

Cheers!

hello fellow Canadians

hahaha thanks for that
well it was my mom telling me... and she doesn't really like him
i'm sure she just wanted to make him look bad. ppfft.

and puce31, i can almost speak fluent french, i mean english is my first language, but being in school and living in a french province, they sort of force it upon us haha.

I think it would be worth it too. Who knows, I still might be able to get some money up for going. The only problem is I'm not sure if I would have my full licence by then, and I don't have anyone who would want to go with me otherwise. D: We'll see though

That's the plan, Canadian Cookie ... that's why we need to show him a lot of love in Toronto.



Puce, please feel free to share with us your feelings and I will gladly do the translation, if I need to. I know that it's hard with another language that's not your mother tongue.



Well, that explains the interpretation, then ...

Word nerd, I'd like to welcome you on behalf of the rest of the Canadian word nerds ...

And Lily, I hope you can get the funds to make it to Toronto, but if you don't, believe me, we will show David so much love that he won't be able to resist coming back to Canada and seeing even more of our wonderful country. So, I'm quite sure there will be plenty of chances.

Good night all!

Yeah probably! But you know it's like that for me too but with english. I took so many english class at school, I even went to an english college for a while (which was funny cuz people were talking to me or asking me question but I couldn't answer them! loll)

I really hope that DC will love Canads cuz he absolutly need to come back when it's gonna be time for his own tour!

Hey all ... wanted to share something cool with you.

I just ordered dog tags online ... I engraved them with my word nerd # and David Cook rocks my world!
Isn't that awesome. They were cheap, too ... 10.99$US (including shipping). I bought them at www.semperfiwives.com
I should have them in a couple of weeks.

It would be cool if we all started wearing them, don't you think? Would certainly make an impression.

Hope you're all having a super day!

Not sure if the AI tour was coming to Montreal, I would actually go see it.
He is the only one I liked and David A, but seeing all of them would be blah.

Now if Cook comes here for a solo appearance which I can totally see him doing, then damn straight I'm going!

I agree that his show here will be amazing, vickih.

Wishing you all a super weekend. We've had an awesome week full of David and I fear some may be going through withdrawal next week (myself included).

Ah, well, thanks to youtube, we can watch him over and over again.

Have a good one everyone ...

Cheerio,



P.S. Don't forget about those dog tags

I thought about going to Toronto. I'm outside of Halifax. We got Bob Dylan (the night of the finale, even!) and some other interesting names both old and new, but I dunno if we'll ever see DC down here. I might have to get a passport and go to Rhode Island, or something!

Might be worth a trip to the passport office ... and I know how you feel. We get quite a few people coming here and still, many choose to stop at the Ontario border. I can imagine Halifax is even worse.
Go get your passport and seeing DC Live ... I guarantee you it'll be worth the trip

Hello to all my fellow Canadians!
I can't wait for David to come to Canada and perform!

Hi fellow cookie and word nerd ... it's a pleasure to have you join us.

Hi Everyone!!

So great to see so many of us CANADIANS here!!

I am in the Maritimes, Fredericton NB to be exact...

I wasn't even aware this group thread even exhisted--AWESOME TO SEE!!

I also had no idea the AI Tour is coming to Canada this time around!! Sweet!!

Most likely, we'll see DC and company appear on Canadian Idol as they have in the past seasons!!

I would give anything to be able to go see the show live...but like most eveyone here, I am hoping there will be a DC Canadian Tour once he's fully established and doing his own thing...!!!

Hopefully he will be playing close enough for me to go to the show...

Time will tell and there is soooooo much to look forward to!!

Welcome to our little group.

I am also hoping for a little appearance on Canadian Idol. It would be awesome to see DC on a Canadian stage.

I am quite sure that he would come to Canada for his tour, but we are going to do our best to show him our love in Toronto so we can guarantee that he does a cross-country tour. Hope you'll be able to see him near you.

Again, welcome!

remmenber to wear red and black!

Still looking for the red part, but I bought a special black top just for the occasion.

Hey all!

I'm from the maritimes too! PEI, actually...

So, really, all you people out west? He's REALLY not coming out here...I don't feel sorry for you!

I wish I could justify going half way across the country for the concert, but I can't....*sniffle*

POST PICTURES!

Thank you!
I am very glad to be among Canadian Cookies and Word Nerds. I knew I was not the only one!
It is great to see such diversity among David fans.

got no car..
no way to get to Toronto
plus, i'm a single mom, can't just pick up and go

the odds are so against me

i don't really know anyone personally who loves David as much as i do
my family was very pissed off when Archie lost
i bit my tongue not to say "i told you so" LMAO

guess i'll hold out for the solo tour then, it'll be damn worth it

Will be posting pics as soon as we get them ... promise.



Of course it'll be worth it. Hold on ... I'm sure he'll be around for a long time so we'll have many years to enjoy him.

Oh, and a reminder to everyone that you can join our Facebook group, as well ... we are the Canadian Cookies and you can find us at:

See you all there

i'm in the same position as you.
only i'm not a mother

Hi! Thanks soooooo much for the warm welcome here!! So nice to see that!!
I hope "our little group" gets bigger just to show DC how much he is loved here in Canada!!
I'd also love to see a Cross-Canada Tour in the near future! Considering how much he loves a few Canadian bands, I could see him following in their footsteps...

Thanks again for the warm welcome!!

Love,
Krista

WOW!! You live in PEI!! I LOVE PEI!! Especially in the summer! Whereabouts do you live? Good thing I live in New Brunswick so it's not a far trip!! The beaches there are just gorgeous! I have stayed in Cavendish and in Charlottetown and have visited just about the entire island!

Maybe if DC does a Cross-Canada Tour in the future, he'll want to go to the island!! Wouldn't that be SWEET?!?!

I would definitely make the trip over to see him!! All the more reason to LOVE PEI!!

You're in NB!! Wow!

I'm in Charlottetown....I'll be heading over later this month for the weekend. I lived in Moncton going to school several years ago, but that's about my total experience with NB. Not including Moncton runs for canned pop, that is!

Oh, and camping in Fundy - with the bears. Yeah. Fun. Somewhat unexpected!

Yes, indeedy, PEI rocks. I've seen Our Lady Peace, Big Wreck, Blue Rodeo, Big Sugar, the Hip, Hedley, Nickelback, Wide Mouth Mason and Econoline Crush all here in Charlottetown over the years. Not bad, yeah? Even Great Big Sea, back before they sold out...

For being so small, we can pull them in...

And it's finally starting to be sunny! yay!

And DC in Charlottetown?! I might 'plode. Messy, I'm assuming!

From your lips to God's ears, my dear!

Looks like we're 'East Heavy' here so I'll try and even it out a lil bit by representing the West. I live in the very northwest of BC right on the Pacific ocean ..3 hour drive from Alaska ..and Vancouver is a 17 hour drive south ..so yeah, that's very NORTH ...

...While I *have* been known to hop on a plane specifically for concert purposes in Calgary, Toronto, Montreal and New York City, I have chosen to forego the Idols tour and hold out for when David tours as a headliner ...and then it nearly doesn't matter where I have to travel to because I know it'll be worth it. And at the risk of my bank account freezing me out, I'll be going to as many shows as possible, cos you know once just isn't gonna be enough -- ideally if he started in the East and worked his way West would be best for me, but I won't be picky

Welcome to our little corner. Glad to have someone from so far away. Good to know the love for David spans the entire country.
And you're absolutely right, seeing him headlining would be worth any trip, any time, for any amount of money.

I don't know if anyone has posted this, but this is a link to a site that gives you a 3D view of your seats, for those of you going to the show ...

http://www.seats3d.com/nhl/toronto_maple_leafs/

It's configured for a hockey game, but you can still get a pretty good view. Just click on "Find Your Seat" and it'll show you a 3D view. Quite cool.

just joined the facebook group

Hee hee!! This is soo cute


Hellooo Westie, I'm from the West as well. By your calculations, I'm a 17 hour drive south from you
I made a post on this topic somewhere on page one, but I got hidden amongst all the East Coast support!! I don't mind, as long as the Canadian group keeps growing

*waves southward*

I think I'm all alone way up here in the north. It's alright, I'm used to it. I live in the middle of nowhere (read: way out of bounds when good things come our way) If it weren't for the ocean being a 10 minute drive and the lovely mountainous scenery in this sleepy little valley town, I might hate it here

Hello, from Calgary ... lots of Canuck Cook fans I see, sweet!

Where abouts are you Kyna?


welcome to the boards

Canadian Cookie ...I live in a small town called Kitimat. We weren't even on the map until about 10 years ago (and even then, I don't think we're on EVERY map ..lol) We have a pop of about 9,000 but looking to boom in the next couple of years due to industry expansions.

To all our new members, hello.

It's great to have everyone on board. We are growing more and more everyday ...

For those of you who joined our facebook group, thanks and enjoy ... we have a lot of fun over there, too. For those who didn't, we are under Canadian Cookies (both on facebook and myspace).

I think our northern (come more north than others) love for David will continue to grow and I look forward to his Canadian tour ... imagine how surprised he'll be to see how many people just adore him north of the border.

Cheerio all ...

Hello from Quebec City!

If he watches the charts at ALL, he'd see that his singles are doing better here in Canada than in the US. Out of, I think the 12 that were on the chart, only TWO had higher positions in the States than here. I found it ironic cause he's the AMERICAN Idol but CANADIANS are giving/getting him tons of exposure here. He must have a lengthy Canadian tour-leg when he hits the road ..we adore him here, you can't ignore the numbers!!

Hey Christine,
I've definitely heard of Kitimat... although I'm not sure what I heard about it
I haven't been that far northwest in BC yet, I believe the closest I got was Quesnel... which isn't really that close.
I guess with a population of 9,000 you kinda have to go with the flow. Do you ever go on road trips?

Usually once or twice a year, yeah!! You nearly get cabin fever in a place like this ...one road in, one road out ...it's the same damn road!! LOL! So for one's own sanity, trips out of town are a necessity (well, when one has wanderlust, such as myself ...)

I started really travelling 10 years ago when I was 21 and I went to South Africa for 2.5 months. Then little trips eastward to Saskatchewan ...my family is from Regina. I've done a couple trips to Calgary and Jasper ...also Vancouver Island. Last year I went to Toronto, Montreal and New York City (always end up in Vancouver on these trips ..dunno why *smirks*) Hey, go big or stay home

I have to say, I live in Montreal, and I feel like I get cabin fever sometimes, too ... I think I just need a change of scenery at times. I just need to get out, see something new and experience something different. Even if it's just a weekend to Toronto ... anything.

I absolutely LOVED Montreal when I was there! I wasn't there for long, basically a 2-night stopover to take in a concert, but it was still awesome! I only had two small experiences which I didn't like (one was with the hotel restaurant and the other was with the taxi driver on the way back to the airport ..) I had a HUGE fiasco once I got to the airport (first, almost didn't make it home because they'd given my seat away ...and THEN there were problems with the plane which caused a 2 hour delay while parts were flown in from Toronto -- which in turn caused me to miss my connector home from Vancouver so ended up spending the night in Van -- on Air Canada's expense ..heh) But the city itself I loved! We walked all over downtown Montreal, went into all the little shops (we didn't even dare to LOOK in the designer shop windows for fear they'd charge us just for looking ..LOL ..) The food was great (and we had one specifically AWESOME, very cute waiter at the place we went to after the concert ..they even kept the joint open for us for an hour and a half after closing because they said we were so much fun to have in there ..lol) the entertainment was awesome, the hotel was really nice and the weather cooperated ...couldn't have asked for a better time!

South Africa! Wow. One of my friends was just over there for 2 months visiting her sister. She had an amazing time and wants to go back. I love traveling, although I haven't done a lot of it. It's definitely on my to do list for the future.
Vancouver Island... cool! That's where I grew up (well, more specifically, Victoria). Where on VI did you go?


I totally understand where you're coming from. No matter where you live, you just have to get out of town for a while. Just to have the sanity of not being in the same place day after day. It'll make you go crazy!

I couldn't even imagine living in a small town like Christine does! Although, if you're used to it.. it's not so bad.
