What to do . . .

So I am having a dilemma. I have been trying to get my sister out to a BSS show for years, and after the last time I saw them, she made a promise to me that the next time they did a local show, she would be there. I have recently been making inroads in converting her to the world of Arts & Crafts artists and was excited at the prospect of introducing her to the magic that is BSS live. So here comes the dilemma part of the story - they are playing a show in November, however, it is an all ages show at a crappy venue and it is part of Brendan's tour.
This is not the live BSS experience that I want to present to her!!! How do I turn back time to 2005 and take her to a show from that incarnation of the band? It's not that I think that the current line up is bad, but having seen BSS with as few as 6 and as many as 19 memners on stage, the latter is definately an experience that I think everyone should have and the one that I was hoping to present to her. I realize that the chances of a 19 strong show are slim to none these days, but I am torn as to if I actually want her to see this version given the size and material of the current tour or if I want to wait and hope that with the new album promised for next year, the lineup will be bigger and the touring material will be more BSS and less Kev and Brendan's solo work. I want her to see Cause = Time, Windsurfing Nation, Almost Crimes, Pacific Theme, Superconnected, Bandwitch, Anthems, Jimmy, MLD, Stars and Sons, Shampoo Suicide . . . oh, and did I mention that I wanted her to see all of this with at least 2 of the original ladies (Amy, Feist and Emily)? I didn't imagine that the first time I drag her out to a show that we would be fighting our way around high school kids in what is possibly Toronto's worst live venue. I am quite certain that the last time my sister saw Kevin with a bunch of high school kids, it was at our high school graduation. What is a girl to do?




THIS is what I want her to see!!

Who are you?
