I join this band and the band wins a juno and I get to play in front of 13000 people for 6 whole minutes on stage with a pile of rock legends, and man, what a high was that! Excited people in a stadium is FUN! I was gonna get KD Lang to sign my ass, but somehow even though her dressing room was right next to ours we managed to not cross paths. Shoot. But anyway it was enough to see and hear her perform that night. I was in the presence of greatness, that's for sure.
I got my kicks having my hair and make-up done by cute hair and make-up girls back stage at the stadium. And the B-Children of the K-OS act were SOOOOOOOO good. Amazing dancing.
Lesley Feist gave me shivers and joy with her lovely solo song mushaboom, and dealt so gracefully with some shitty tech problems. We actually shared a dressing room with Ms. Feist so we met for a few moments. Janet the hair goddess had just introduced me to her music the week before, which I'd enjoyed greatly as she shore away at my A-head mop and made me that much more rock and roll.
So now I'm still in Winnipeg working with the girls on some new tunes full of twang, and next week I'll be back in Montreal and then pop over to Quebec city for a (rare) 2 set solo show with Jeremy Jones on da bass. Yippeee!
