Fredericton/Saint John/Fredericton

After passing by things I thought I could never see in real life - like road signs almost completely submerged underwater - on the way into Fredericton, we arrived to the downtown core - which was also mostly under water. Luckily, the Capital was about a block up from the flooded Queen Street so the show was still a go!

Before loading in to the capital, we hit up Fox 103.5 here in Fredericton to do a radio interview with a DJ named Crash Barton. Aaron and Pinky spent about ten minutes on air - the station has been playing our single a good deal. After the interview, we headed down to the Capital and loaded. We played the show with our friends All of Green, who would we be playing with the next night in Saint John.

The show, as usual, was amazing. Fredericton is like a second home to us - it's almost a first home. There are so many friends here, so many fans, and so many good times. The Capital was past capacity, and we played a fun set.

After the show we went to a party down the street where we played Rock Band. Its funny to go from playing real instruments to fake ones after playing a balls-out rock n roll show. Also, Pinky sucks at the drums on Rock Band.

Time arrived back at Zach & James' place: 5:30am.

Saturday, we slept in till about two and headed down to the best restaurant in Freddy Beach - The Snooty Fox. Some friends of ours were cooking in the kitchen that day, so even though it was 3:00pm, they still cooked us breakfast. After breakfast Pinky and I took the video camera downtown to get some more Fredericton Floodemonium Footage. A couple hours later, we were on our way to Saint John.

We played at a new place in Saint John called A Khord which was a great bar. Big stage, real classy like. One downside: the bartender put on a Dave Matthews DVD while we were waiting for soundcheck. No thanks.

This was one of the best Saint John show's we've had in a while. Our last four shows there have been less than spectacular, so playing a good show on a Saturday night was a huge bonus. And, as always, Danna Jean showed up and brought the party! She brought along her sister Emma, whom we had never met, and two different Katies from Halifax. Those girls are fun as hell. After the show, Pinky and I went back to Danna and Emma's house, had a few drinks, watched some Conan - though it definitely not as good as the last episode we saw with Danna in SJ thanks to the hilarity of Harland Williams, and went to bed on couches that felt like clouds.

The next morning, we had a big ol' breakfast at Danna's place. Her parents are super cool, and hanging out with those girls is just too much fun. In the afternoon, they took us to a beach (!!) and we walked around and filmed some stuff.

We haven't really had time to upload any video footage yet, but we don't have another show until Tuesday in Kingston Ontario so hopefully we'll get some time to throw some hilarity together.

Right now, we're back in Fredericton at Zach & James' place for the night. Tomorrow we are heading to Montreal to spend the night at our friend Valerie's. Tuesday morning will be (hopefully) breakfast with karley whom I miss dearly and then - as previoudly mentioned - Tuesday night we hit Kingston, Ontario.

I'm tired already.
