Heya everybody. I just had the best mini tour with Mr. Rae Spoon and crew, vanning around the gorgeous west. Salt Spring we got off the ferry and into town and saw the biggest rainbow ever, so bright, full arc across the sky, echoing in triplets of colour. Rae said "That's the gayest thing I ever saw." Indeed it seemed a good omen. The show at Anise was lovely, and you gotta love the Inn concept. Play show, go upstairs and crawl in the sack, and a four star sack it was. Actually before hitting the sack Rae and I checked out the competition that evening -- hippy dance band from heaven, Wasabi Effect was playing down the road. Wack. Now there's a west coast experience if ever I had one. There was even a crystal alter in front of the stage. Not a bad idea mind you, though I usually discreetly keep my crystals in my pocket. I am a closet flake. Anyway, I like the west coast. Victoria was great too. You know, I never see people in Montreal dancing to folk music, except when it's foot tapping Québéc traditional music, which I got a good dose of this weekend at the Folk Alliance meeting here in town. Me and my posse of borderline hillbillies had a grand old time putting on a querrilla showcase in the hotel Whyndam. Rick made stew in honour of the Lake of Stew, though I shoulda stayed away from the whiskey too. Talk about headache. Jordi Rosen also joined in, as well as the Special Interest Group and Dante's Flaming Uterus. It was a party. Next up, back in town, December 13th at club ONE.
