alright, so here we are – tapped in to some wi-fi in toronto so here’s an update:

things are going swimmingly so far – had a blast double-billing w/ al wood and the woodsmen in ottawa – great to see a tonne of old and new friends. great show / great energy!  stayed w/ our pals megan jerome and mike essoudry – check out their music on myspace – megan jerome / mike essoudry / mempm (mike essoudry’s mashed potato mashers – a very cool new marching band)

…then a beautiful drive through algonquin park to parry sound – where we played to a small but appreciative crowd at the west parry sound district museum.  following the show we laughed through the night with our hosts Darcy and Hillary.  Thanks for your hospitality guys! Looking forward to a summer bbq/party/show on the museum deck.  Jay and Frank enjoyed the Parry Sound wilderness experience by camping out in a tent in Darcy and Hillary’s attic – good times!

Sound man extraordinaire George Ravlich joined the tour in parry sound – rounding out the team….Unfortunately George is not feeling well right now as he ordered a burger w/ every possible additional topping (various cheeses, meats, etc. – ingredient list and photo(s) to be added to website soon).  So he is dealing with some indigestion and general moral issues right now but we’re sure he’ll be himself again before too long.

stopped in guelph to unload some gear for the house party on friday night and promptly received a $40 ticket for parking over the sidewalk – live and learn….

enjoying a restful night off in toronto before heading to windsor tomorrow to share a night with our friend pat robitaille and pawnshop diamond – then kitchener, cambridge, guelph to round out the week….more updates to come….
