Vancouver, BC -Show Day
Tuesday, September 27, 2005
Travel to Canada overnight. Mo sweet talks the border guard and we pass through without even waking up. Everyone gets up in the morning and is sure we are stuck at the border and not at the gig. Call my buddy Jim Survis, who lives on Vancouver Island. Try to talk him into driving over, he wusses out. His loss.
I watch the last 4 laps of the Malaysian Moto GP, Ducati comes in first and third. That's two wins in a row for Loris Caporossi and his Ducati. Rossi wins the championship by finishing 2nd, but is pretty whiny about it. GO DUCATI!!!
Typical gig day, except for the band setting off a fire alarm in the practice room. Seems someone took a fog machine in for ambience and it alerted the fire department. Pretty funny. Gig goes well, Canadians are always a good crowd.
Get woken up and taken into US Customs at the border. The seize some amazing steaks we got for bus food, as well as lemons and avacados that were clearly bought in the US. Guess they wanted to have a BBQ. Oh well, on to Portland.
