the show at the silver dollar went smashingly. a lot of people showed up for all three bands, and everyone STAYED. that's rare in toronto. people don't go out to have a fun night, they support their friends, then leave. it's very disheartening. BUT! that didn't happen this time, and it was a good night. we watched the first band, played our set, then relaxed with some booze and pool while the last band played. all in all, it's nights like these that remind me why i play music in the first place. i wish more of the music community in this city was like that.
oh, and a funny peripheral story. before the show, we all piled into dan's car and went to the edge, to ask them if they'd plug the show. not only would they, but martin streek (spelling?) put us on the air to hawk it ourselves. paul and i got on the air for a full five minutes talking up the band, and the upcoming shows. some of you know i used to work at a radio station in winnipeg, and i forgot how much i really loved it. we mentioned the website too, and the next day, we had a full 7,000 NEW HITS on it. if we can keep this pace up, this year will MORE than make up for last year.
so having said all this, i hope to see any and all of you out at the HORSESHOE TAVERN
on FEBRUARY 1ST,
which is a wednesday, i know. but cover's only $5, and we get on around 10. so it will be a cheap and early night, and you get to support us before we get so self-absorbed we won't even recognize the effort.
no wait, scratch that. we love you. we always will.
