A somewhat rocky start to the tour. We made it on time for our ferry reservation, but only barely. Our trip from Tsawwassen to the gig was mostly uneventful (except for one wrong turn. Stupid HOV lane that leads you off onto River Road…). Ominously, the first note I played of the first song of our first show of the tour was… wrong. Things progressed somewhat downward from there, with a less than perfect performance due in no small part to some feedback and monitoring problems. Despite all that, the audience seemed pretty receptive. The bar put us up in the adjacent hostel, which is most convenient.
I’m typing this from an internet café across the street from the bar, where Josh and Jay are waiting for Allan to arrive. I just got the call from Jay that Allan has arrived and we’re ready to go. Next stop: Calgary?
