saint john/charlottetown/home

the final leg of our tour was probably the most fun i've had on the road.

before the saint john gig, we did an interview on campus radio on a show called Prog as Balls. it was pretty hilarious.

the saint john show was a ripper. it was matt's birthday, and our friend barb's birthday - so there was plenty of drinking going on. it was also our second show with our friends The Peter Parkers. the crowd was great, it was fantastic to see so many people dancing and singing and enjoying our set. despite the booze, i think we played great - maybe one of our best sets of the entire tour.

that night we spent the night at barb's watching clone high, and in the morning we headed to pei for our final two shows of the tour.

the first was at a small record store in charlottetown called Back Alley Music. It was quite literally like playing in someone's rec room for about 20 people. we got to play four songs. it was pretty fun, all things considered. it was a treat just to see the peter parkers in a setting like that. there was also a really cool all-girl trio from pei called The Barnkats who played with us, and whom I quite enjoyed.

the bar show got underway a little late because of the hockey game (we decided to wait until the game was over to start). by the end of the night the bar was pretty full, and we ended the tour with a bang i think - not really a saint john bang, but a bang nonetheless.

the tour also ended on a sad note as this pei show was mary's last show with us. she's moving to toronto, and i know personally, i am very sad to see her go. we made sure she had a good night though, we got some rowdy applause from the crowd in her favour, and bought her a plethora of coronas as a send off.

after the show we went back to the motel where we were staying and stayed up partying till about 530 in the morning - well at least i did. some packed in earlier, some later.

this morning we went to pineau's parent's house for some sweet breakfast and then made our way back to nova scotia via the ferry. it was gorgeous.

now we're home safe and sound, the van held up, we have a couple bucks in our pockets, and a bunch of shows to play this month.

c'est beau ca.
