just wanted to let everyone now that the hfx edgefest contingent has
arrived home safely (4am thurs night...guess thats what you get when you
don't leave TO til 3:30am tues...at least the monoxides appreciated us
sticking around for their set at the horseshoe: "you guys rock!" &
variations thereof)....
trip highlights-
-meeting the TO sloannetters...the sweetest people imaginable...big
hugs & thanks to all (carol,lisa,d'arcy for shared umbrellas,KISS
derek,warren for the drives & guided tour,alex,ashley,shanan,etc) +
fredericton jon toolie, tdc & jayson...so much for assigned seating (we
all got to sit together)...warren gets 1st prize for most creative fake
moshpit wristband (a strip of nacho cheese covd newspaper...yum!)
-thrush hermit "take the money & run" -what a statement :) i'm still not
sure if that was a good move on their part but it certainly was funny...
-treble charger as arena rock stars!!! (girls screaming "bill!bill!)
-sloan as arena rock stars!!! (TO)
-sloan in front of a small crowd (buffalo)...underwhelmed as the last
song (it was the very 1st song they ever played at their 1st gig at NSCAD
in feb 91)...songlist adam?
-shant giving black pool cd to Daryl Hall (Oates has no mustache...woaa!)
bad things...
-shant losing my car keys in buffalo (someone turned them in to a nearby
pizza place..we were SOOO lucky)...then missing weezer in TO (arrived at
the warehouse to find everyone leaving) :(
---waiting for the gates to open at edgefest, being soaked & seeing
people use the free murder 7" as frisbees ("yeah i got 5"-guy with open 7"
flipping it against his chin...aaaarg)
-meeting kevin macdonald of kids in the hall & having him totally ignore
me (i think he's just bitter :)
-missing most of the non martime bands (huevos rancheros, pluto,
rusty)...did the 2nd stage get ahead of the 1st b/c none of my schedule
plans worked?:(
