Wow, looks like I'm getting some White Stripes fans to the blog - so I thought I'd pass on some more local sites that documented their visit to the Yukon.
Also - I didn't say in my last post just how NICE and gracious these guys were. They took a genuine interest in the spear-throwing and shocked me by offering to go and pick up the darts after they threw them! Most visitors don't do that, let alone rock stars in clean black suits!
Another great part of their visit was playing in our local park the afternoon of the show. Jack White mentioned how they'd heard that a lot of people didn't get tickets so this was their way of giving everyone a bit of a show. He talked about how nice everyone had been (they were walking all over town in the day), and joked that they liked it so much, they might even move here! Which of course, got the crowd downtown going crazy.
It's great to see a band really interested in the places they tour.
So check out these sites to start with:

I heard from a local media guy that Jack walked into Unitech, plunked down his credit card asked if they could set him up in a park downtown - that's how the show came about. Too cool.
