DAY 5 – OTTAWA

Damn I wish I hadn’t accidentally taped over all the footage from that Ottawa basement show. Oh well, I traded it in for some clips of The Sleepless Nights as well as a metal-goth band in Peterborough and I guess some of that will be showing up here.

We sat around the Dis House eating samosas while Budget worked away at fixing the van window. There was some consternation when we thought they might want us to trade in the van for another one. That would be tricky since we left part of the van in Saint John, NB (i.e., the back seat). But the Budget girl was super perky and really really wanted to help us out in any way possible in order to make sure that everything is going to turn out just fine.

The Crimson Tides play Colt 45 rock’n’roll and drink a lot of 40’s everywhere they go. They are proving to be a bad influence on me, although this works both ways, as I am turning them into a bunch of dancing fools who will throw down and do “The Squid” any chance they get.

I started composing a song in GarageBand on my iBook. It’s entitled “The 40’s Never Stop.” We’ve started chanting this at all the shows.
