hamilton/guelph

after our last night of staying at joe's place, we packed up the van and headed to hamilton.

our last few shows in hamilton haven't been spectacular so i was really unsure of how the turn out would be. on top of that, it was a tuesday night and it started down pouring and lightning(ing) the second we unloaded.

whatever.

the show was actually quite great. it was definitely the biggest crowd we've ever played to in hamilton, and i think we played a really good set. chris bell from chore/alive & living did our sound, so i know it sounded good.

some of our good friends came out to the show, like jon grimes and kristen. i also got the chance to meet some relatives of mine whom i had never met before. they would be my dad's cousins i guess. they came out just to meet me and to watch our set. that is why i like our family, people like that are awesome. they were very nice, and very interesting. i hope the next time i'm in hamilton we can meet up again.

we stayed at one of andrew's friends places for the night, and this morning they left us eggs, pancake batter and fruit salad, which was awesome.

this afternoon we drove to guelph and met up with our new friends amber and katherine at the university of guelph (where we are currently accessing their free internet). we taught them how to play tips, which was probably the most physical activity we've gotten as a band other than loading gear. so it was good. them amber tried to teach us all how to walk a "slack line" - which is essentially like tight rope walking on a seat belt. it was crazy. there are some pics and videos to come.

tomorrow, maybe brantford?

home soon.
