Montreal was a blast (despite battling a cold), and now we’re back in Ottawa for ocff. It’s great to be WIND Home again :)
We have a new key, on our way to Montreal. @daveborins says, “What I want to know is what the heck the sock monster is doing with my keys.”
CAA opened the @daveborins van, no keys found. Towed to nearest dealer… whose key reprogramming box is out of order. On to the next one!
Two different gigs, two different artists, two times in a row with car keys lost / locked in the car. :)
I thought I was all electro-dance popped out last night. Apparently, I was missing the indie. http://www.myspace.com/hotttpanda
In Kingston, on at 10:30pm or so at The Mansion.
I’ve never opened for a British electro-dance pop star before.
Taking the stage at the Mod Club with @darrellelondon in about 15 minutes. It’s filling up!
Rehearsing at Cherry Beach with @daveborins and band http://ping.fm/xXx2H
Driving back to Toromto. Lots of time for long podcasts this month.
Byward Market for a late night meal. OCFF memories returning.
I remember stops between Toronto & Ottawa/Montreal by the music I was listening to going to Space Camp in Grade 9 and Ottawa in Grade 10.
Heading to Wakefield, Quebec to play at the legendary Black Sheep Inn with the legendary @daveborins.
Started looking at new bows. I upgraded my violin 5 1/2 years ago, time to get a bow to match it.
Fun (but cold!) morning with @darrellelondon playing at the Run for the Cure on campus at U of T.
At Maxwell’s in Waterloo with @daveborins. SEXDWARF, the openers, are sound checking. Very reminiscent of Sex-Bob-omb.

At the Supermarket to see/hear @sarahloucks.

Next near disaster: @darrellelondon started to back the car up while I was getting back into it after flagging @mandippal down.
So far today: TTC said next train 18 min, almost missed one that came in 2 min; almost left my violin stand on train; ATM kept my $60.
And @TheMacHams took Best Live! Congrats guys!
