Having some time to do nothing is as much a blessing as it is a curse. There’s only so much you can do in a hotel room during the day, but at the same time, it’s great to have nothing to do and time to relax.

Between drunken ghost hunting, climbing up water slides backwards, buying useless kitchen appliances, and trying desperately to get our N64 working so we can play some Bond, we find ways to pass the time.

Not only does the idle time force us to find ways to occupy ourselves, it also manifests itself musically. Last night we played a completely original set, but rearranged all our songs on the fly for the entertainment of the sparse Monday night crowd. Luckily, the camera was rolling.

Tomorrow we head to Saskatoon to play at Bud’s On Broadway, which is only about an hour away, then we’ve got a long haul to Banff on Thursday.
