So we recorded a new song today, written and taped within an hour! 

Friday afternoon we departed. It rained all the way to North Bay. We settled in to the “band room” above the bar, set up our gear, and played our first show of the tour. I’d say it was a success, we sold a ton of CDs, and kicked it off on a good note. Saturday’s show was even better. We sold even more CDs than the night before, and finally popped our t-shirt cherry and sold some shirts.

Touring Tip of the day:
Drip dry – Let’s face it, a towel is an inconvenient thing to cart around. They take a long time to dry, stink up pretty quick when put in a bag, and don’t really serve any purpose other than to dry your body after a shower. They’re also very prone to being forgotten as they hang on the backs of doors and in other obscure places. I’ve done away with towels all together. You’d be amazed at how quickly you can drip dry after a shower. Just turn the water off, and enjoy a few moments of naked deep thoughts. It’s incredibly relaxing and therapeutic.

You can check out the webcast we did last Thursday at http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/2595882. It went pretty smoothly and the band really enjoyed it. It was fun to have a few close friends in the room while we played some old favourites and new ones for all the interweb to see. We’re hoping to do it again sometime soon.
