Tour wrap up

Well, that's it folks first tour is in the books. We're all back home now getting caught up on all the sleep we missed out on over the last week. We had a blast! And we met so many awesome people and bands. We left off in Tillsonburg so I will try and brief both shows that we had left:

Barrie:

We rolled into Barrie after two comfortable nights in London staying with a friend of mine. We were a bit tired but determined to finish the last two shows off in proper fashion. We played a cool little joint in Barrie called The Foxx Lounge. The crowd was small, but we got soe great applause/feedback and sold quite a lot of cd's. So we'll chalk that up to a win in our books! The interesting thing about Barrie is just how beat up and rundown it is... especially right around the venue itself and in the roach motel we stayed in that night. Whilst checking in, I was interrupted by a hooker paying the hotel manager his cut of her latest "job" with the message that she'll see him again in a few hours. We slept in sleeping bags on the bed and no matter how many times you showered you just didn't feel clean... but we survived.


Burlington:

Probably the best show of the tour. We awoke that morning to discover a down pour, so knowing we couldn't hit the beach that day we opted to spend the day indoors and drove to Yorkdale Mall in Toronto. It's huge so it occupied a lot of our time. We then drove over to Burlington where the sun came out... beach time! We rolled up to the Red Rooster, set up and enjoyed the venue. It's a great little roadhouse type spot. Great sound, friendly staff and awesome musicians. We met THESE GUYS and we are definitely going to be hooking up some shows with them.

We then drove home overnight back to Ottawa arriving at around 5:30am.

We had such an incredible time on the road! Thank you so much to everyone that bought cd's and rocked out with us. It was such a blast that we're talking of hitting the road again in August/September. We'll keep you posted. We're taking the week off to do our own thing, and then we're back at it writing new tunes. Our next scheduled show is July 26th at Zaphods opening for Inflight Safety. We'll hopefully be debuting some new tunes for you at that show!
