Different Paths CD Launch














My CD Launch at Divan Orange was really fun! Serge and Chris came to play with me, probably for the last time since they are super busy launching their own album. Lots of people came and I think everybody had a good time. Even my father came which is pretty awesome considering his health issues. Michel Parent from Quebecpop came and took pictures which is really nice.

Fall tour 2006: Ontario part two...














After leaving Winnipeg, my favorite city, I drove down to Thunder Bay. We played at The Apollo. Sheila who runs it and is super generous. She fed us, she got a place to stay, she even paid us. Gab had been there and she was under the impression that I hated his guts which I really don't. I sang Mostly Harmless which is a song about how much I loved touring with Gab and told everyone about it since they knew him and she cracked up because she thought I was being sarcastic. I really wasn't. The next day, I drove for 13 hours to make it to Sudbury! A cop stopped me for speeding, I was going 117 in a 90 zone. He asked me what I was doing in Northern Ontario and I told him I was on tour. I think he thought it was pretty sad that I was alone so he only gave me a ticket for 37.50$! Score!

We played at The Townehouse and hung out with the guys from Statues who are super nice. Some drunk guys talked to me during my whole set!

It was the last show. I had a great tour! I had so much fun and Malcolm and the others were so nice! Can't wait to go on tour again!

Fall tour 2006: Manitoba take two...














I got up early and drove to Winnipeg to hang out with Mike B, one of my favorite persons! We went shopping for a Halloween costum for him and then I went to dinner at Ashley's. Hung out with Jaret and then went to the venue. Got my nurse outfit on and played for Nettie, Maria and a few others. Poortree played and it was a great performance. After the show, Ashley and I tried to get in to the venue where Mike was spinning (ooohhh, Desire!) but the Firemen were trying to shut it down because it was packed! We went to The Pyramid and checked out all the cool kids dressed up.

Fall tour 2006: Saskatchewan...














Drove to Regina and played at O'Hanlon's which was so amazing. Everybody played solo sets and people seemed to enjoy it. Dagan and Leif of Geronimo came and so did Rémi's sister! They got us rooms at the Quality Inn and that was awesome!

Fall tour 2006: Alberta take three...














I went back to Calgary and hung out with my friend Al. We then played at Broken City with Mahagony Frog and Bogart. I played super early and it was pretty empty but a few of my friends came and I had a good time.
