And that's a wrap

We had an awesome time over the last two months playing all across the country for you guys. Thank you for having us, we hope we can do it again soon!

Unfortunately the Hamilton shows scheduled for today have been cancelled (but are in the process of being rescheduled for January). We'll be posting details here as soon as they're available.

Happy holidays everybody,

Home stretch

Tomorrow will take us back into our homeland of Ontario... Its been about 5 weeks on the road now and the bus is starting to feel like home. Just in time to off of course to get off for Christmas.

All on the tour have been talking about finding time to Christmas shop after all the shows end. But not I. My family and loved ones have decided we'll take all our gift money and travel instead this year. I think its a great idea. It takes away all the stress of shopping and fighting the crowds, while still rewarding us for our year of hard (or not so hard) work. I do admit, however, as a kid, this idea wouldn't have gone over so well. As a kid, toys rule. As a kid I loved Super Nintendo, we had to rent one every so often though or play all night at a friends. My mom was heavily against Nintendo in our house. Said it'd turn our heads into spaghetti. My brother got away fine but I guess for me it sorta did.

From Kelowna

Kirsh is pacing around the green room with little purpose at the moment. We have sound check in a little bit, but until then killing time is the name of the game.

I woke up really late today and was thrilled to find out we had driven out of the snow. Somehow I don't think we'll be able to dodge it for much longer... It's December in Canada.. Let's be real here.

Avoiding snow is good for this traveling circus; Rivers Cuomo case and point. Luckily everyone from the accident is recovering fine, but the invincibility I've been feeling as our tour bus hums down the road no longer exists. I'll sleep a little sounder as long as the white stuff stays off the road.

Jake from the Artist Life just showed me a little video clip he shot from the end of our set last night. Think it'd make a short n' sweet little video blog... I'll post it here in the next day or so.
