of updates over the last handful of days but we've been busy living
(driving mostly, actually).
On Monday we linked up with our friend Jon-Rae Fletcher and his
wonderful band in Vancouver. It was sad to say goodbye to our new
friends in Rock Plaza Central but they were statebound. JR and company
welcomed us with open arms and BC showed up in droves to see us.
Biltmore Cabaret was a blast, the ferry to Victoria and subsequent
party at Logan's were pretty special and Kelowna ran a tight ship and
offered up lots of eye candy.
The drive from Kelowna to Lethbridge, hugging but never crossing the
US border, is one of the most beautiful treks you'll ever see in this
country. Any country, for that matter. If you ever have the chance, we
strongly encourage you to see it with your own eyes. The show in
Lethbridge was tough to get through after 12 hours of driving but the
crowd were glad to see us and that's gotta count for something.
Then last night came the thrilling surprise of the tour - Regina. Who
would have thought that this unassuming town would come out with such
force? We've been playing in Ontario for three years and still, we
likely haven't faced a crowd that went so bonkers in all that time. We
are all getting a little tired from all the driving and floor sleeping
but Regina was a paddle to the chest that has us grinning ear to ear
today. Thank you to everyone that made us feel so good on the last day
of the Western leg of this tour.
Now we are on our way through monstrous Ontario again. On Tuesday we
land in Montreal, then QC, then Ottawa and Hillside. Daniela will be
rejoining us after a short detour, and Thom, Leon and Tamara are
coming to join in on the fun.
It'll be nice to be back on familiar ground but we can't help but feel
that it all went by a little too fast. Oh well. There's always next
time.
