Ontario has to got to be the biggest friggen province on the face of the planet.
After our misgivings with directions, and our stay in a motel on Saturday night. We drove as far North as we could Sunday night (which turned out to be this place called Terrace Bay), and we spent the night in another motel and took off early this morning for Winnipeg.
After another 12 hours of driving, a speeding ticket in Kenora, ON, and lots of classic rock, we finally got to Manitoba.
I have been reading a lot in the van. Mostly all non-academic reading, which is a welcome change of pace.
I've plowed through Charles Bukowski's Ham On Rye as well as Chuck Palahniuk's Survivor.
Right now I'm reading what is sure to become one the best "must reads" in rock n roll literature, Slash - the autobiography of the guitar player from Guns N Roses. So far, so awesome.
So tomorrow, we are taking the van somewhere to get our lights checked out and hopefully get them fixed, then we have a show here in Winnipeg at a place called Lo Pub.
This town seems to very old and I like the architecture a lot - it reminds me of Ottawa in a way.
We got added to a bill in Lethbridge the next day, which means that after our show in the 'Peg, we'll be hitting the road early the next morning. However, that puts us only about an hour outside of Calgary, where our show is on Thursday.
Look out West Coast, here we are!
