Saturday the weather cooperated with us better than it did Friday. Though it was beastly cold, it didn't snow and the sun was shining.
We went to this place called The Snooty Fox for breakfast, and I had an omelette that was seriously bigger than my head (i definately couldn't eat the whole thing!). Then we wondered downtown, went to the music store and the record store - you know, the typical things that bands do, picked up some GIANT cookies from this place called Read's (I get one every time I'm in fredericton), and then went back to Kyle's to hang out for the whole day.
We had some superior improv drum etc. jams in his basement, watched this weird show called Wonder Showzen and watched Anchor Man while Kyle, Cheval and Mary made some supper.
Then it was on to St. Andrews...
It took us a little longer to get there than we anticipated, but we still got there with plenty of time to spare.
St. Andrews is a little town on the coast of NB, and it's (apparently) really close to the border of the US. It's basically a one-street-town with gorgeous houses and lots of businesses. A real tourist hot-spot. It reminded me a lot of Lunenburg.
The place we played at was called The Fulcrum Gallery, and it was a tiny coffee shop/bar/art gallery - it was pretty cool. I'm pretty sure we were super loud, but we rocked the house. People were dancing, it's always a good sign when they're dancing.
After the show, we stayed at an old Inn that was out of season, so it wasn't open. I think it was called Salty's or something. Anyways, the guy who runs the place knew the bar people/the fussy part guys so he put us up for the night.
It was an old victorian-style inn with about 200 bedrooms. It was something straight out of The Shining or something, something very horror-movie-eqsue, so it scared the hell out of me and I didn't sleep.
We spent most of the night continuing our drinking adventures, playing poker and talking in our famous french accents.
We left St. Andrews around 8am because Pinky had to be home for work in the afternoon, and I'm pretty sure I slept the whole way home. I also slept for 14 hours last night.
Love road trips!
