Winnipeg Crane Convention?

Winnipeg.

We’ve been in Winnipeg for about two days now, and it’s been an amazing experience so far. The music scene here is very supportive and has been beyond kind to us. We’re staying at a local musician’s house, someone who we’ve never even met in person before but was just eager to help a band passing through.

We played a few songs on the radio last night and on City TV this morning, then met with Dale Penner (produced Nickelback, Matthew good band, Holly Mcnarland, and more – http://www.paradise-alley.com) at his studio here in Winnipeg.

Tour Tip of the Day:
The ceramic travel mug. Coffee is essential on the road. You can’t live without it. Everytime you use a travel mug at timmy’s now you save 10 cents. This is only the beginning. The travel mug keeps your coffee warm longer, and helps you feel better about the environment (despite the fact that you’d have to use it for about 10 years to get back the carbon cost of making a travel mug vs. making a paper cup.. but that’s for another blog). The reason why you want a ceramic one, is because you can microwave it. You can make soup in it, hot breakfast oats, ramen noodles, even easy mac kraft dinner. All you need is a microwave and some water, and you’ve got some warm dinner to go.

Outside the bar on the main drag in Brunkild

We’ve got to get to another gig.

See ya!
