So, the band starts packing up our gear after the show and bringing it out to JF's (our bass player) bus which is parked out on Hastings street in the notorious of Vancouver known as the Downtown East Side (DTES). When we opened the door JF found a homeless man had broke in through one of our windows and decided to curl up in some of the blankets! Scared the crap out of us.
He told us his name was Jim. He didn't steal anything, he just wanted to get out of the rain and curl up somewhere. It was quite a hilarious story actually and one helluva a way to end the night! Ironically, the band was making jokes before the gig that we might come back to the bus and find someone had climbed up the bus to sleep on the mattresses we have tied up on top!
And now SNEETCH has are very own DTES story! Funny when it happens to you- and this was a retty good story. Could have been a lot worse knowing that area of town...
