We always seem to be making the long trip from kamloops to calgary and arriving late for our load in and soundcheck. something about the hour time difference and those rockies i tell you. or maybe it's the fact that we end up partying like maniacs at the Marshall's residence until 3 or 4 in the morning, enjoying the sauna and parading around their house in a towel, (just some members of the band that is, please Cathi don't post pictures of such tom foolery on the web).
i also shouldn't talk about being late for a gig on here. a promoter in whitehorse told us not to post such things on our blog because it showed that we were unprofessional, but you know what, he can shove it. i'm trying to tell some form of a story here.
anyways, calgary this time was kind of like our last show in calgary where we weren't too well matched with the bands we played with. not that i have anything against such heavy metal or screamo, i just don't think our fans can really make the leap to the other bands and vice versa of course. but every one was positive, and all the bands and fans were really nice and receptive, so it ended up being a good night.
highlight of my night was definitely hearing from Shane's friends about how much they were pissed off that shane wasn't in the first 6 or 7 podcasts, and how they love us live but just wish our CD sounded as good as our live show. Great feedback, and yes we are attempting to one or two or three up ourselves next time around. recording is an interesting skill that we're still working on really hard. just waiting for the time and money to do it over again
