heres and theres

In a very quick format:

Guelph was probably the worst show we've ever played period. Aside from Joe and Andrea, nobody there was interested in hearing us play - the tiny crowd actually applauded when AC/DC came on the radio after we were done.

Bayfield Ontario is such a unique and fun place. It's a little resort town in the middle of nowhere (close to lake Huron) - and it is gorgeous. Its the kind of place where rich people buy summer homes. The people there are super nice and it always makes for a good time. Peter, the guy who runs the Blog Dog Pub (the place where we play) always treats us super good. We got there pretty early in the afternoon, so we played Rock Band all day and waited for load in. The show was decent, we're pretty loud for that room, so a lot of people actually watched from outside. But regardless, it was fun. After the show, Sleepless Nights went into party mode - which is something that rarely happens. After an evening of being fed free drinks, we topped off the night at the Black Dog by doing shots of something called Polar Bear (Creme de Caocoa and Peppermint Schnopps) and then proceeded to go to this other bar called The Docks. Basically anyone who was at our show was there. Its the bar to go to after the bar you wanted to be at closes. Also, it was kareoke. Let's just say this - never in my life have I done kareoke, and never have I had the desire to, but Pinky and I sang Wanted Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi - and it was terrible and hilarious (especially if you take into account how much we both love the Bonj). Anyways, good night.

We got to Toronto pretty early again yesterday because our show at The Drake was early (7:00pm). The headliner for the show dropped off the bill because one of the guys was sick and in the hospital - so that thinned out the crowd i think. The stage was great though, we sounded amazing and we played a good set. When we're put on a stage where everything is properly mic'ed and everyone can hear everything, it just boosts our confidence and we play a little bit better.

Long story short, I had a bunch of extended family come out - my Dad's cousins and their kids - and they have invited me to a BBQ brunch at their place today, so I'm on my way out the door with my friend Kerri to hit that up. We are staying here all day, and we have a radio session on CIUT tomorrow morning.

Next stop: Hamilton (on Monday)
