St. John's

Wow. I think I love it here.


We've been hanging out in St John's since Tuesday, and though we haven't really "done" much - it's been great. On Wednesday it rained pretty hard so we were all stuck in the house - which was OK, because it gave us a chance to start the fancy videos you've all been (hopefully) watching. We're hanging out at our friend Jud's place (which is awesome), so it's nice to have a comfortable place to just relax for a bit.

Yesterday was sort of the first time we ventured out into downtown St. John's, we went to a cool record store called Fred's and loaded our stuff into the ship. Being in this town makes me feel like I'm constantly on the CBC, I don't know why. But I like it.

The ship is a mid-sized venue, maybe similar to Gus' pub and is apparently the "hip" bar in town. We played our first St. John's show with a band called The Human Soundtrack who were super nice guys and played some really cool tunes. The singer's voice reminded me of Neil Young, if he was from Newfoundland.

Anyways, by the time we played the place was pretty packed bringing the Newfoundland large crowds ratio up to 2/2. We're playing at the same bar again tonight with another band from St. John's called The Pathological Lovers. Word on the street is the crowd tonight is supposed to be even bigger. I can't wait!
