Small town punk shows are awesome. Youth centers, youths, rented PAs... This is how it all started out for me. Last night another batch of kids kept it up. Not a huge crowd, maybe 30-40 people. At least a quarter of them bought the new album. Thanks folks! I met some old friends at the show and we remarked (not in a pretentious way) how we have all been going to shows since before the rest of the audience was born. It never gets any less fun.

We played the less freaky-deaky songs from the new album and a few old favorites. It's neat not having to play everything we know in order to fill up a set. We picked the songs on the fly and it worked really well. The kids paid attention. I stood off to one side, and no one looked at me at all. I don't mind that, but I did bust out some "rock kicks" just the same.

TW and JH hooked us up with some awesome home cooking afterward. We left around midnight, hoping to alternate sleep and driving. I did a lot of the former, and WE did all of the latter. It's weird sleeping in the van (and not for more than two or three hours at a time). It changes your perception of time, and that perception is gonna be really out of whack by the end of next week.

Footnote: Sherbrooke doesn't get an entry because they didn't confirm the show we tried to book.

Now we're chillin in Mtl with Ross.
