Hardcore, Ghosttown and the last dates of the tour!

Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada

So here I am in the ghost town of Lethbridge. No it's not that bad but when we pulled in yesterday there was no one on the streets and we could only see signs of Liquor Stores, quite depressing. Another glorious night in the car. We have a show at the Slice tonight but since we found out that if you play hotel bars you get hotel rooms we're probably gonna play another show tonight as well. The guy said that if Calgary would win yesterday it would be no use for us to play since everyone would be celebrating but if they lost he thought we would fit right in! Haha, I guess he found our shoe gazing depressing. Hopefully we'll get a show there tonight as well since Calgary actually lost the game, the hotel seemed great with a BIG water slide!

After Duncan we played the Cambie in Nanaimo and The Superior in Victoria. Both shows were great and we had to say goodbye to Thereza, Felicity and Melody, our Victoria friends. Oh yeah, at the Superior I actually forgot my artificial pic thing but they found it for me. Kind of cool since I only have one and I can't make a copy of it...

Then we had to leave Vancouver and its islands and head for Calgary, long winding roads up in the glorious mountains where terrifying truckers tried to pass us in 130km/h. In Calgary we played a really funny show at The Stetson. It used to be a country/western bar but it had become a rock n roll bar. On the bill was one popband, one metalband and one band playing german pop..then there was us: Two acoustic guitars and a cello. It turned out great though and even the heavy metal rockers liked us.

The day after we played in China town with a big picture of the Chinese president as backdrop. This time we performed together with Hardcore bands - of course. After the show we went home to Colin's place - the guitar player of the great band GÜNTHER (http://www.myspace.com/guunther) and had a great GIN-party.
