Feeling.....oh so not so fresh today turned out last nights after show antics were well....excessive ......so it goes
A small but appreciative crowd was on hand at Ottawa's Zaphods which really was a shame...a few suprise guests there aswell...had a few friends come down from Montreal for the show(you guys are awesome)...............cant say it was our best show to date just due to some technical difficulties really........... second song in i popped a string on my acoustic but finished 1 string down and plugged on through the next one in the same manner...due to this we cut "hurry up" and moved onto "calling all cars" however it seemed that my electric wasn't making any noise at all....so im trying to sing it with out the aid of my guitar which made it very difficult for me to find the proper vocal key which i am now very aware that the opening line is my key finder ...so yeah a bit of scrambling at the beginning of the set but we made it through the boys were on top of their game and comped something as i tried to figure out what was going on and then did as The Tenderbox's guitarist came up to the stage with some help (cheers bro)..from that point on we were good to go and go we did eventually leaving a couple of buckets of sweat on stage......both tbu and ttb were excellent aswell ttb had to head up to Montreal shortly after their set tbu was in full form so we all headed over to the mod night @ Babylon the rest is blurry or maybe just incriminating.

Ive been online all fucking night i have a little mac laptop and love it so ive been catching up on the news and actually checking out some apartment rental costs in France and Spain...pretty reasonable actually.....i really into the idea of spending a month or two over there in the new year to just write and experience life from a different perspective.

I love documentaries(i love real life stuff) so went searching for free streaming doc's online tonight and it directed me to "frontline" which is part of the pbs(you remember pbs alex p keatons dad worked there in "family ties")broadcasters group...anyhow this site is great for streaming some cool doc's right to your computer and just watched this amazing feature documentary called "A class divided" which is about a social experiment involving grade 3 students shortly after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King...it's truly a fascinating piece and shows you just how powerful discrimination of any kind really is i highly recommend this to anyone and actually having this exercise implemented in schools everywhere by a qualified mediator would in my opinion be a an amazing step in the right direction for the worlds human relations.

cut and paste this link to check it out its a really valuable piece....and apparently the most requested doc on pbs
