The nearest show will be in Barrie, and I hear the traffic in and out will be monstrous. If anyone is going I would love to hear about it. Come back here and tell us all the juicy details.

	Insert saying that I think is funny here

I thought all the shows put on were excellent, and performances were amazing. Here's hoping it will have an impact on talks on July 6th

With the money they would've made they could've made a huge difference while making a point as well. I don't think the debt will be cancelled and this concert was a missed opportunity to make a difference in itself.

Go into the pockets of corrupt governments or 2. Go back into our pockets as a way of repaying their debt The whole debt creates a never-ending cycle, but the G8 leaders can all put a stop to this, and knowing the millions of people that are behind this can't hurt either. Sure George Bush is a sitting duck president, but there are plenty of people around him that would like to run for president, and they could have an awful lot of sway. This is political action at its best. Will it do EVERYTHING that it has set out to do? Probably not, but it could still make an enormous difference.
