toronto

we left montreal on sunday morning and headed to to the Tdot.
we strolled into town around 4 o'clock on unloaded our gear in a spot called The Boat on Augusta Avenue. It was once a chinese restaurant fashioned to look like a boat, but now it's serves as a rock n roll venue for these things called Pitter Patter nights - which is basically like a new music showcase in toronto.

we were playing this show as part of a festival - so there were like 5 or 6 bands on the bill.
jon played second, we played third.

the crowd was pretty receptive to us, even when we played Godspeed (in which the lyrics are: I don't want to move to Toronto). for a sunday night in Toronto, the crowd was pretty good. the place was in kensington market, so it wasn't too bad. we didn't really make a "boat" load (get it?) of money or sell much merch - but whatever.

when we got into Toronto i met up with my old college friends (how old am i?) Jo Corbett and Aaron McCluskey - who was actually my roommate in first year. they came out to the show, and Pinky and I came back to their place - which is conveniently just around the corner - to spend the night. ahhh. no floor for me last night.
it was good times, it's always great to reconnect with old friends - especially people like Jo and Aaron.

Today we do a bit of a zigzag back up to Ottawa for a free showcase at Zaphod's - we usually do well with merch there, but there's no local act tonite - so i don't know how that will go. the establishment might even hop up and do a set. crazy.
