the show in the o-dot wasn't that great. there wasn't a big crowd - whatever.
there were some friends there. good to see claudia - haven't seen in her like what, 3 yrs, and erica (allyson's sister) came with one of her work buddies.

the sound at zaphod's is always awesome, so that was a bonus.

we ended ended up playing an establishment set - which was a great practice for the windsor show - and it was quite funny because the bartender remembered us from when we were there this summer, and bought us shots during our set. then, when i tried to give him a cd, he said "oh, i already have one." i was pretty psyched about that.

we all ended up sleeping in a one-bedroom apartment of a friend of one of the guys in My Dad VS Yours (a cool band from Ottawa who played at Pineau's prom with us back home). i discovered a trick - if you're all sleeping on floors, put a pillow underneath your hips - you sleep much more comfortably and soundly. decent trick.

we got up around 9 this morning, had some breakfast at denny's (good, but a little pricey), and then drove down to guelph. well, we dropped mary off in toronto, and then headed to guelph.

katherine (our guelph counterpart) had a roast, mashed potatoes, and carrots ready for us for supper - not to mention a million cookies - so we felt we were amazingly at home. after supper we went out and bought a cornucopia of groceries and beers. we have dubbed tomorrow Saint Patrick's Wednesday - so we are starting drinking at at least 1pm tomorrow. it's our day off - so we're taking advantage of it.

this is awesome.
