Day 6 – Fernie to Calgary
Fernie was an odd night. The venue was an odd shape with an odd sound system and an odd stage. It was hard for the guys to hear themselves and they had a bit of an unnerved first set. It might be something that most people don’t notice, but when it sounds like shit on stage (for whatever reason) it is hard to be comfortable while performing. Once they were assured that it sounded good in the audience and they had a few more drinks things relaxed a little. Stephen is sick by the way. So am I a little. The crowd was interesting. They danced like crazy then when the song ended they talked until the next song started. Almost no clapping, but if you really think about it clapping is kinda weird anyway. Had a nice chat with a girl who thought that the CD was too expensive and sneered at me. She was a very conceited dancer. Big fan Tyla was very sad that the band probably wouldn’t be back… Met up with old Vancouver friend Leslie for breakfast at The Blue Toque—very good breakfast!!! Al picked the wrong day to start his diet! Oh… I wasn’t supposed to say anything about that… too bad this is permanent ink… Uneventful drive. Temperature is around zero, so not too bad. Arriving in Calgary so must put away the laptop… Mark is a great sound guy; there really is an art to it.
