montreal part 2 + waterloo

it was a gorgeous day off in montreal. it was probably +20, we had absolutely nothing to do, and we had a ball.

we drove from bex's back downtown and hung out in Parc Mont Royal for several hours. I met up with karley and had a good couple-hours chat with her.

After hanging outs got stale, we headed to Jon Stewart's - where we were spending the nite. We had no definitive plans, but Halifax pals of ours - Windom Earle, and A/V - were playing a show somewhere that we were going to hit up. Turns out, the show was cancelled, and all the guys n gals from Windom Earle ended up coming to Jon's place. As the night progressed, and the big beers were consumed, and we spent some time meeting the upstairs neighbors - a girl who was having a birthday party upstairs asked Windom Earle to play in her apartment - so they did. what a fun time. they rocked that apartment with their sweet dance tunes. it was a great night. that, i think, is what montreal is all about.

today we drove to waterloo and hung out at 130 King St - The place we were playing. It was a really cool house with lots of different rooms - including a room called "the pirate room" and a loft that had to be accessed by a ladder.
We set up our gear in the living room (this place has house shows about once or twice a week), and waited for the crowd to show up. honestly, on a sunday nite, i wasn't expecting too much. however, a whole bunch of people showed up and a lot of people were really into us. we played with Richard Laviolette and his Black Lungs - and they were great. Really nice guys too.

Tonite we're staying at our buddy Joe's place. It is quite literally amazing. No foolin. I'm excited to sleep in a bed tonite.
