...you're an English-born American, but most of our co-workers assume you are Canadian because at least once a year (and sometimes more) you go to Canada for a few days!
...you turn in a vacation request at work, or tell friends "I'll be out of town for a long weekend" and people ask "Where are they playing this time?"
- and they are right -
...most vacation days are used for GBS Trips
...you volunteer your very sparse spare time to Moderate the band's official website, and are more than happy to sacrifice said time!
...you have "My Photos" as your screen-saver, and you see more of the band than of your own family!
...your kids know every word to almost every song because they've listened to GBS for most of their lives, and beg "When do WE get to go to see a Great Big Sea concert?" And after 6 years, they finally get to go, and they sqeal and jump around like crazy wild animals when you tell them we scored 4 front row seats!
...you sign up for a cruise you would never normally take, and is way out of the budget, just because the band is on board, and you sacrifice to make ends meet when an installment is due, and are happy to do so (even if the Hubby is not)!
...all your favorite bands these days are ones you've discovered through GBS or through OKP friends or on GBS Road Trips!
