Boy am I getting the run around on this one. Went to Radio Shack in Timmins Square for a Mobile Phone scanner and other top secret bugging devices and monitored Tracy and Ren's every move http://www.shania-twain.org/messages/wink.gif

Heard they were lunching at Casey's so went there REAL early and bribed the staff to direct them to the table I bugged and sat at the Bar with my hidden earpeace and what did all this input give me?

Well all I heard was code words, Lock up everything when the "Bald Eagle" or the "Shadow" are at the Centre. "It's big and Massive - but we have them fooled as that is only on the inside" It is really quite small and no one needs to know right now!!!!

So my bugging earpiece (are you allowed to say that on the net?) yes my bugging earpiece gave me NOTHING but a headache and a $7.00 CA bar bill!

So next having thrown off my 'shadow' Chris AKA timmins4ever by telling him that Sir Paul of the Beatles was in town, I button holed this former News Editor for CBC TV and Radio, a Mr Len Gillis. Now he rekons that CBC Radio have the answer to the convention's secret, but I have to be interviewed live on some nationwide radio show or something before he will tell me.

Now I can't do all this on my own and NEED HELP, so any Shania Fan that can call me at Timmins Web and come help out before the convention just 6 days from now would be a real boost.

EVERYONE IN TIMMINS knows but me, sounds like a verse from a Doctor Hook song.... Grrr I will give them "Big and Massive" when I get the chance. I am now checking out all the local public phones just in case it is Doctor Who's TARDIS or something like that.

The only thing I see that is Big and Massive is my sore head from banging it against a brick wall at the Shania Twain Centre... Best put some Shania music on, that is good for my sole.

Tom, you are trying WAY too hard to find out what the secret is!

If you do find out, and I suspect you will, I don't think you should post it. It's fun to be kept wondering and part of the fun of the convention is finding out when we get there.

I'm so confused, is there some really big surprise that's going to be unveiled at the convention?

(If there is, I wonder if it could be that Shania's fibbed about not being able to attend. Imagine, wouldn't that be a big surprise! Hee. ;) )

It is probably Shania! ;)
They are making it sound like a MASSIVE BIG SECRET....nothing could be bigger the Shania attending!

although i think i might know the secret...they did say that "if Shania was to attend it wouldnt be kept as a secret and they would let people know" ....but they might just be twisting words around!
Shania isnt the one who is attending....it is EILLEEN!!! :shocked: :D

Ren told me what it was a couple of weeks ago!

Something quite large...

<no dirty remarks please! ;-) >

I just didn't want to rub it in for too long, so I waited until now to say something.

hahahahahahahaha

Sorry, it's not Shania, cuz if it was I'd get there somehow and Ren knows that so he would have told me.

Yes, intuitive types often have flashes of insight when the circulation to their brain is boosted from the warmth of a shower or bath. Ren did not tell me my guess was wrong. But I told him I didn't want to know for sure, either way. Don't want to be burdened with any more secrets. When the pile of secrets gets too big, some can slip out.

If you thought of this in the bath, does this mean the surprise is a huge, massive rubber ducky?? :D

BTW I checked my idea with them, they won't confirm or deny it..... ;) Maybe they're just not happy that I found out about the big rubber ducky!!!

I am being bounced around like a rubber duck, and taking a Bath on miss information and decoys, so to preserve my sanity, and allow the Shania Twain Centre some room to move this BIG and Massive secret, I am "outta there" until the Fan Convention.

Centre very busy over the past holiday weekend, met some really nice Shania Fans from all over North America and beyond. Something is going on though, Tracy turned up on the Holiday Monday afternoon, now why would she do that? Then she was gone, backstage doing something.....????

Going for a hair cut - Barber shops know EVERYTHING that moves in a small town like Timmins, so I will report back soon. Chris (CBspock) from the Boards will be in town Wed, so let the fun and games begin.

I am live on National CBC Talk Radio at 5:40pm today via cell phone. So the Big and Massive secret will no doubt not reveal it's self before then but the Fan Convention is going to get some of the best FREE national publicity the STC could ever wish for.

Tom, FYI Ken (drumroll51), my wife Kay and I will also be in town as of tomorrow evening. So will John (Finnfreak) but he doesn't know when. We'll all be at Days Inn.

There is no nationally broadcast program on CBC radio between 5 and 6. Each city has its own driving home show. Maybe you are being taped for use on the World at 6 or As It Happens. I guess I'll have to listen tonight for sure! But I know you will do a great job!

OK then it is the Juli McDonald Show or something like that. Not sure of the first name but the last name was very Scottish and the presenter is female so guess that narrows down you search Sir. Yes as this is a cell phone interview I doubt in hindsight they would risk putting me on live in case the signal goes west or something.

Local media are gearing up for a feeding frenzy for sure and that will start in the Lobby of the Days Inn 9:30am on Thursday the 5th. I will be in a highly visible seat in Nikki's Sports Gallery - the Tavern next to the Lobby of the Days Inn on Wednsday 4th for the evening early birds to gather before going someplace to eat. The plan across on the Boards is that on the Thursday we all meet at the Days Inn at 9:30 and then the media will no doubt follow us around Timmins as the first time visitors take in all the Shania points of interest ending up no doubt at the Shania Twain Centre for the meet and greet and social. For those attending from this site my local cell phone number is (1-705) 465 2419 and I will be monitoring that all day and night from Wed 4th onwards in case anyone needs local help and assistance.

Yes it is not only the Sat Secret that is BIG and MASSIVE looks like this years Fan Convention is going to set a few attendence records all of it's own too. :D

Well as you all know they kept the "Big and Massive" secret from me despite being in Timmins a clear two weeks before the Fan Convention.


They did this by using the Shania Twain Centre's secret weapon "Chris AKA 'timmins4ever'" who tracked me so close they were calling us Shrek and Donkey by the first day of Fan Con 04!

Having been unable to shack off Chris I found nothing but did get a second supprise when I won the special "nailed to the floor" award shown in the Fan Con 2004 thread. I can not post these twice so you will have to go there to view them.

Note the R for Ren carved into the base and the Tracy "surprise" signature... Grrrr
