Canada, Eh?
Apr. 10th, 2008 07:41 pmHad a crossing last night. Was so anxious about it I didn't sleep well. My first crossing in ages and I was worried about getting in. Not that there was anything to worry about, mind, it was all cleaned up. But usually the midnight staff of the border stations has a bit of what I'm sure they consider fun at our expense by getting us all up, out of bed, and parading us into the station so they can look us over. Didn't get any of that surprisingly and everyone who was coming across sailed in easily.
Been lots of bad behaviour tho. With 17 muso's on a tour there's always something going on. Lots of bad behaviour. Lots. One of the muso's got piss drunk, kicked in their tm's hotel room door, swan dived into the bed (with sleeping manager), and practically gave the guy a heart attack. None of us are getting any younger. Funny tho. At least it wasn't what the rest of us get.
I'm in Canada, eh? Nice place, eh? Makes me want to play lacrosse and have some poutine for supper then visit a strip club. Thank god for the hot dog cart stage right (courtesy of production no less). Dimmer dogs, food of champions. Well, roadies at least.

Yes, that's a fork lift picking up a fork lift with a load on it. Only in Quebec my friends. Must be the French. Great introduction to Canada for me. Been a long time since I've witnessed this particular brand of creative logic.
Weather's good actually, near 50, but there's still snow in isolated pockets. Just like home. Wonder if all the snow has melted from my deck yet. Actually, Quebec doesn't normally get as much snow as I do at home, but I think they were way past their usual average this season.
The eyeglass/optician rant I wrote up yesterday. Man, I saw him wandering around again today and I wanted to rip the glasses from his head.

So get that AR, even if you're a musician.
Oh, and Ade's back in Akeley! Good for him. He needs some time off. Didn't take any after his surgery and that's not something you go out and do a year long world tour after. I'll give him credit for being a typical blockheaded Wakeman.
