hamilton/home

our last show was sunday night in hamilton at a cool little bar called Absinthe. after we slept in all day in guelph and had some sweet omelettes, we made our way to hamilton to meet up with the jon mckiel gents and have some supper at a place close to the party house - then we went over to Absinthe and loaded in.

both sleepless nights and the establishment played a set, and we played with two bands from hamilton - Circuit Breaker, and one of my favorite bands of all time The Inflation Kills. It was a Sunday night, so we weren't sure how the crowd would be - but it was great. sure a lot of people didn't really come up front to rock out, but that's to be expected - it was only our 2nd time in the city, like every other city. but it was a lot of fun - the establishment set (i've been told) was very good.

after the show was done, we had to pack up the van and head back home. we were able to put a bunch of stuff in brucie (the jon mckiel van) so it made our trip home in our rentavan a bit more comfortable.

then came the inevitable - time for the goodbyes. it may sound kinda weird but it was pretty sad to think that this was the end of the tour. we all dilly dallied around, putting off leaving for a bit while we laughed it up with the jon mckiel boys, played soccer baseball with a tire, kicked some speakers around - you know, the usual. kat was there too, it was hard to leave her behind cuz she was with us for so much of the trip and took such good care of us, but she's coming to hali soon enough, so that's good. i can't wait.

we piled into the van and made our way to halifax. we left around 1:30am.
the drive wasn't terrible - quite comfortable after - just a series of 20 minute naps for those of us who weren't driving really. we got into halufax around 10:30 last night - i want to sleep for days.

what a fun time.
i like this.
i could get used to it.
