We've captured the elusive Glass Tiger!

Flight 899 pulled up to the gate at the Winnipeg International Airport this evening from Toronto at 7:17pm. And Dono and I were there to stalk one of Canada's classic and most beloved creatures, the Glass Tiger!
In the arrivals area at the WestJet baggage services counter, we had keyboardist Sam Reid paged (paging Alan Frew would be too obvious). And so Sam showed up.

Donovan was as giddy as Oprah on Free Baked Ham day at Harpo Studios!

Once Mr. Reid approached the counter, looking for a WestJet agent to tell him why he'd been paged, Dono got the conversation ball rolling by saying, "We're the reason you were paged - I hope you don't mind, but I stole your luggage!"

We were ready to go, I began digging in my purse for the Sharpie Dono made me carry (while he was about to pull out his Glass Tiger CD booklet), when before we knew it, GT's manager Rod whipped out 3 colour glossies of the band, complete with Sharpies of his own!

3 of the 4 members of the band signed those pics for us (one had missed his flight - maybe we'll go back tomorrow morning to get our 4th signature!), and all the while Sam was very talkative and seemed appreciative of our efforts to make our pilgrimage to the airport just to meet them!

Tomorrow night is the show at McPhillip's Casino - we'll be there, in the 17th row mind you, and we'll be shouting out the tunes right along with Al and the gang.

(Sam did give us permission to rush the stage, so if I don't post anymore after this, you'll know we've been thrown in jail!)

Glass Tiger - after all these years, you're still a pretty cool group!
