toronto

well, honestly, the show we played in toronto last night was definitely the best show we ever played there. there were lots of people in town because of the Toronto Film Fest and because V-fest was going on also. anyways, the crowd at The Boat was great. by far the biggest, best and most responsive crowd we've ever played to in toronto. we played with a band called Sports, the Band (sorry matt and steph) whose bass player was actually Mike from the Meligrove Band. They were really cool. We also played with this band The Patients who were playing their last show, so they brought out a good crowd.

I had an ultimate rock star moment at this show. A girl who I went to kings with was there, on a totally unrelated note, and was like "wow, this band is great" then she noticed that i was playing in the band and was like "hey, i know that guy!". i don't know, but that seemed pretty cool to me.

anyways, we had a bunch of other friends out too. my cousin malizza and her husband reagan came out, as well as my old college roomies jo and aaron, as well as our old pal bennie p, etc etc.

our set was really good, pretty tight, and we had people dancing and enjoying the tunes the whole way through. i definitely can't wait to play there again on a weekend.

today we went out to breakfast and then went to see this art gallery on King Street called "The North End" which was a girl who collected posters from polls in the North End of Halifax for two years, and compiled them into an exhibit/book collection. There was a couple Sleepless Nights posters and superfans posters, and share posters, but i was super disappointed that NONE of my posters were anywhere in the exhibit. ticked! To be fair, we did discover after there was another set of posters we didn't look at so I could be wrong. but still, argh.

now we are at joe's in waterloo. we are playing in his bar/basement tonite and he is having a party. sa c'est le fun.

oh, big PS - check out the new Superfantastics Video. It's amazing, and features cameos to the wazoo ( you may recognize the beer bottles as me and pinky ;) )
