Vancouver et. al.

I am so exhausted right now, that my memory is hazy. However, here's what I remember:

After our show in Jasper, we drove for the majority of the day on Saturday to get to Vancouver where we were staying with my wonderful cousin Caroline and her ten year old Santiago, whom I haven't seen in probably 6+ years. Seeing family is one of the best perks of being on the road.

We lazed around for most of the day on Sunday before we loaded into the van and headed to our show in downtown Vancouver. It was a very "unique" place to say the least. We played at this place called Hoko's which was a Japanese sushi/karaoke bar. Yep a sushi/karaoke bar. For a Sunday night, the show was pretty well attended. We played with a band called Love and Mathematics who were from Vancouver, and were pretty cool.

Monday we made our way back down to the downtown core to record 6 songs for CBC Radio 3's "Sessions" series. We loaded into a gorgeous studio in the basement of the building, and spent about 2 and a half hours recording two tracks from our album, "Got Caught," and "Amounts to Nothing" as well as 4 brand new songs - "Going to Canada," "Radio Silence," "Ghost Vibrations," and "Coup d'Etat." We spiced some of them up, added some special intros and outros, etc to make our Session a little unique.

The host, Tariq Hussain, was a great guy. He hung out for the whole recording process. Grant Lawrence from the CBC Radio 3 Podcast also showed up to say hello. That was nice.

Today we left early in the morning to catch the ferry to Vancouver Island and made our way to Victoria. We went to the University of Victoria where we played 3 songs live on the air and did a little interview to hype tonight's show a little bit. Here's to hoping it worked.
