ahhhhhhhhhhh, it feels sooooooooo good to stand. I'm in calgary alberta, or as I prefer to refer: cagray belarta... It's been three days of driving mostly, I left vicy on wednsday afternoon 'round 'bout 5:30, and arrived at ubc at 11:15. next mornign at 9 we was on the road, grand forks on thursday night, stayed with a freind of ours paul crawford, who is one of the organizers for possibly THE BEST music festival EVER. (artswells) he's pretty funny, stayed up late talkin about music and books and poets and art and auctions and things... we were on the road at 7 am, (can you imagine?! adam iredale, jennifer Iredale, peter gray, jude pelley and myself, up at 6 am?) it wasn't pretty, and it didn't smell good neither. we were in fort steele outside of cranbrook by 12, where mom put in a couple hours of monitering work which afforded us free gas and a place to stay that night on the government. we stayed in fernie. wierd place like everywhere else. on the road at 8 this morning, stopped in longview alberta, (ian tyson's town basicaly) for coffee, and were in a mall somewhere in calgary by 1. Adam and jude led a session in a pub which I got kicked out of some point along the way. I found meself a nice coffee shop though, (it being in my blood and all after a year at solstice) hung out there for 3 hours! shit, it was long. but I had music and journal and finished two books (yes shelder, if you read this, I finished gilbert grape, and am gonna send it back with the parentines when they go). Jude and adam are playing another gig tonight in the pub that's part of the Sheraton Hotel. HA! can't really picture that either. way way way to shwanky for us. Tomorrow we're driving 7 hours to moose jaw, then another 6 the next day to winnipeg, I'm not sure after that.
Also, in fort steele we say possibly the best short film I have ever seen. there was this play, and within it the actors made movies, and one of them was fuckin creepy, we asked about it later and apparently it was made by a guy (whose name I stupidly forget) who does lots of stuff for the vancouver fringe festival. anyhow, it featured a clown, with a wig that twitched, a woman who held in her arms at different times a doll, a sack of flower, a wooden donkey and a pie. which ended up in the clowns face... nevermind... CONSEQUENTLY! when we arrived in clagary at the pub, there was a clown convention going on... strange things in this town. I'll be in Ottowa by the 4th or 5th of september, so if you email me I'll get back to you then if not before. a tip o' the fedora to y'all.
