Antigonish
Antigonish is the best town/city name of the tour. Drew says it many times while on stage just because it’s fun to say. I say it off stage many times to bug Al. Say “Annie gone ish” really fast. Here the boys play to a completely packed out bar unfortunately called “Chuggles”. Half of the town’s population goes to St. FX University but alas it’s reading break for a lot of this tour so what I think of as packed is not quite as packed as the manager had hoped. It’s a nice shaped place, almost the perfect size venue for a good rock show. Here we meet super fan Jenn who laughs at everything I say. Very good for the ego when you’re so far from home. Ryan Clark has come with us from Montreal just for these 5 shows. He traveled with the band a few times in the past and wanted to have one last run of it. His company and heavy lifting energy is appreciated by all of us. I hurt my knee kicking him. He has a website with his own face on the main page. He’s an artist and will one day design plastic utensils that are strong enough to actually deal with the Alberta beef we are all so fond of. I’m not sure what that means. We are on about 2 hours sleep and probably still drunk.
