The Big Update.
Im in Hamilton right now. It's been a blast so far. So here goes:
Started off to the train station at like 12 on friday. Got on the train, and sat down, enjoyed the scenery alot. The whole ride, I just kept thinking to myself, the world outside the box I live in. A rather cute girl sat beside me on the train. That is until she talked to me. She sounded like a 40 year old man, and scared the FUCK out of me. I did not have this expected from a cute girl who looked 21-22. Aside from that the ride was great. I forgot to bring my numbers for people with me... STUPID STUPID mistake. I didnt see Alej in the Union Station in Toronto. I tried my best to just stay calm and rational. After about 45 minutes, I found him and everything was good. What a guy, he bought me a sub from quiznos, I told him not to, but he did. We walked through Toronto downtown a bit, I realy enjoyed it. So many sights, you just want to soak everything in. We got back to his house after picking up some chairs and such for the party. I met his mom and dad, who were both ENCREDIBLY amazing and nice people. His Dad told me right away " my house is your house " and I felt pretty good to be around people like that, such kindess and hospitality to someone they have never met. We cracked open a few beer, and then Roberto from Toronto Indie messaged me asking me to go meet him at El Macambo for the Debaser CD release party, so we did. I got to meet him and the rest of their writers. All good people. The music was awesome, and by the time we left, Alej and I were both getting pretty intoxicated. We found a sweet authentic italian pizza place, so we stopped and enjoyed some of the best pizza ever. We got home not too long after, and decided we were sobering up too much, so we had some more beer. Eventually I got tired from all the traveling , and went to bed. The next morning I spent just playing my set over and over in anticipation for my first show. I bought new strings, fit up my acoustic, and practiced pretty much until night came. We started drinking too early, Corey and Brown showed up, and it was good to meet those guys. Soon DC showed up and that totally made my night. He was rad supportive of me and we had a good time together. I wish I would have taken the liberty to get to know him better when we both in cornwall. Eventually sound check came, and I grabbed my gear and set up. I relised at this point I had gotten myself preeeety tipsy, and was going to have a hard time playing. After dealing with mic feedback like crazy, everyone crowded around me to listen to me play. I fucked up a whole bunch of times, but its alright because everyone else was HAMMED by this point and it didnt seem like they were paying attention. I really want to play another time though when im not so wrecked. It went over well enough , a few people told me they really enjoyed it, so I smiled and told them it meant alot to me. Alej also supported the hell out of me, and it made me feel really good about myself that someone would go to such length for me. The next band came up, played classic rock covers, but they played TALK SHOW HOST BY RADIOHEAD and I nearly died. They did a fucking AMAZING job of playing Comfortably Numb too. When it was all done, there was a guy named Victor who had wayyyy too much to drink and accused DC of stealing from him, which we know he didnt and know who did steal from him. Victor tried to fight DC and even punched him square in the face. This was retaliated upon when one of the other guys nearly destroyed Victor for picking the fight, this guy must have taken like 4 hits without flinching and then continously punched victor like there was no tomorrow on the ground. I held DC back and Alejs Dad help pull the other two guys apart. It was solved, the guys left, and I walked DC to the bus stop and made sure everything was good. Im really sorry that DC took a hit like that, at that moment if the other guy wouldnt have taken Victor out , I would have. It all ended well though. I drank a ton more when i got home. Good times. I ended up hitting a point where i absolutly needed to sleep, so i did. BAM, its not 2pm. Alej and I both felt a little hung over, with a bad case of the shakes. His mom made us a wicked breakfast of eggs and bacon. The day went by very casually, we left for the bus station so I could go to Hamilton. We grabbed some MacDonalds ( I only eat it when hung over ) and headed down to the right platform. Alej gave me a hug goodbye and i was on my way towards Hamilton. Decent drive, not very long. I ended up getting off at the wrong stop. I saw all the kids getting off and figured i was supposed to too, turns out it was the college, not the station. So i went to a corner store, phoned around, and ended up taking a taxi to the station to meet Timera. We came back here after looking around Hamilton for awhile at different building and such. Tonight was short because Im sooo tired, and she works in the morning. Tomorrow will be eventful. Part 2 coming soon!
