You are a sweetheart Lizzy!
Korene will be up for anything Leonard related. Her Brothers out in Irvine, CA. He was planning a visit back home for some weddings this summer. I've already fired off a message about timing with him. I know he would be up for it if the timing was right.
I will keep an eye out for updates now that I have stumbled across this forum. You sound and feel like good people.

The high cost of living doesn't seem to have hurt it's popularity!
Oh, this is VERY good news, Allan. I hope you'll be able to coordinate it so that all three of you can attend 
! If not, at least you and Korene 
. Yes ~ you'll be watching this space with baited breath now, just like the rest of us 
! Hopefully, we'll know something soon.

So, how is it that you "stumbled across" the quintessential site on Leonard Cohen!?! It's like digging a hole to plant a tree and stumbling across a diamond mine... check around through the main page of the site, itself... and you'll soon see what I meanYou sound and feel like good people.

No ticket news, but am pleased to fill you in on two new attractions for us in Toronto...
First an exhibition that Esther has mentioned as being "in the works" for some time....
Leonard Cohen - Drawn To Words - works on paper
June 3 - 30 2007
World Premiere Exhibition part of the Luminato Festival, Toronto
TORONTO, March 27 /CNW/ - Drabinsky Gallery, Toronto, in association with the Luminato Festival, Toronto, and the Richard Goodall Gallery, Manchester, UK, is proud to present the world premiere exhibition of works on paper and annotations by Canadian poet, songwriter and novelist, Mr. Leonard Cohen.
Drawn to Words features more than 30 pigment prints of drawings and
sketches selected from Mr. Leonard Cohen's extensive private archive
stretching back over 40 years.
Images from Drawn to Words will include portraits, nudes, objects and
landscapes, many of which are annotated with Cohen's personal notes,
observations and musings. Some feature recognizable characters from his songs, while others reflect his changing moods through revealing self-portraits. Drawings that capture views from his Montreal apartment, alongside pictures drawn during his five-year seclusion (1996-2001) as a Zen Buddhist Monk at Mount Baldy Zen Center are included in the collection.
Mr. Cohen has kept journals and sketchbooks since the mid 1960's. As his music career developed, he continued to sketch and draw at every available opportunity and his visual work shares many of the same qualities and themes found in his music and poetry - the light and shade of human emotion, dark humor, social commentary, sexuality and politics. At least one of Mr. Cohen's original journals will be on display during the exhibition.
Throughout his career, Mr. Cohen's art has always been highly private.
Only when some of his drawings appeared in his collection of prose and poetry, Book of Longing, published in 2006, did his worldwide fan base get a glimpse of this side of his creativity. We are honored to make this exceptional work available to a wider audience through the publication of these limited edition pigment prints mastered by Nash Editions, California. Each will be signed, numbered and dated by Mr. Cohen and many will carry personal text.
Drabinsky Gallery, located at 122 Scollard Street, will be open Mon - Sun 10-5 during the Luminato Festival in Toronto. http://www.drabinskygallery.com,

Thanks to good work by Anne Mitchell, we have scheduled a tour and a library overview of Leonard's works in the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library at the University of Toronto -- Monday June 4 at 10am. Please let me know if you want to attend that event, as we have a limit on how many they can allow at one time.
So... maybe not the excitement of Leonard and Anjani performing together, but much to look forward to in Toronto in June!
Hope Cohen fans that are coming will all notify me so I can keep the attendee list up to date.

YES! Thank you, Esther and Dick! I saw that somewhere here earlier, but absent the info as to its availability! It looks like I'll be able to at least see this !!
~ Lizzy
!!I sure wish I'd know about this sooner... before flights were scheduled! My plane will be taxi'ing down the runway or already in the sky, enroute to London, at just about that very moment... flight take-off set for 9:55 AM. Perhaps, another time for this tour... is it open to the public? Special arrangement only? What?Thanks to good work by Anne Mitchell, we have scheduled a tour and a library overview of Leonard's works in the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library at the University of Toronto -- Monday June 4 at 10am.

everyone
I have been checking Ricketmaster for tickets VERY often ie at least once every hour or two and still nothing. Today I did a google search on Philip Glass tickets and came up with the following site:
http://www.showtimetickets.com/concerts ... -glass.jsp
It at least mentions the event and the possibility of tickets.
My wife and I will be arriving in toronto afternoon of the 31st May. We were considering dinner reservations at one of the better greek restaurants on the Danforth. If anyone else wants to join us, let me know and I will make reservations for us all.
