Being that we couldn't do Regina, we had a couple days off before our 2nd calgary show. After slowly making our way to calgary we spent a nice couple days relaxing with Shane's family. The Lynch's are totally sweet. At times i felt bad for how much i was relaxing but they assured me that it was totally cool.
On our second night off we talked about perhaps hitting the town and going to a bar. The thought of drinking alcohol or hanging out in a bar on our day off wasn't appealing to any of us. Instead we had a taboo death match. Taboo, for those of you who have never played, is like pictionairy with words, but you aren't allowed to say 5 words or terms that you would probably use to describe the word you are trying to get your teammates to guess. We decided on playing girls vs. boys: shawn, shane and i against shane's sister allison, leah and josh. You may be able to sense my bitterness from losing. Josh and the girls beat the boys, though it was by a narrow margin.
Mcnorton was somewhat of a machine at this game. He and shawn are both quite fierce competitors, though josh tends to be a bit more 'confident' in his table talk. Josh and I used to play doubles tennis against zach and tom from lotus child, and josh's major contribution was definitely his trash talk. His trash talk is one of those things that you love to have on your side but when you're going up against it, it's a completely different story. On another of our longer drives, josh proposed that we play a game of "name bands that start with the letter __". Josh's presented his suggestion by opening with "i will start of by saying that i will definitely win this game". To his ego's peril, he did end up winning the game.
After two days off we were very eager to hit the stage again at Calgary's Broken City. As you may remember our first Calgary show left something to be desired. Broken City definitely made up in all areas that Stetson's was lacking. We managed to bring down a good amount of people for the show, and we played like we didn't care what people thought or felt. I was pretty stoked to have Shane's sister Allison join me for East of Eden. I'd like to send a big thank you to Allison Lynch, as it was truly a pleasure to have her beautiful vocals on that song live. I would also like to send a big thank you to the whole Lynch family who housed and fed us for a good few days, the food was delicious and i can't wait to hear that Christmas album Gaby and Frank.
It's great, we have shawna in BC, Allison in alberta, pretty soon we'll have somebody to sing the duet wherever we go. That or we'll just be able to bring somebody on tour with us.
The night was smashing, and if it weren't for the fact that we later had one of the best shows of our lives in Salmon Arm it would have been by far the best show of the tour.
