The Doctor gave him as hot to lessen the pain and then takes some scissors and cuts it off and then cauterized the end. I'm pretty sure the shot had no effect on my dog. I had to hold him while the doc did that. but an hour later at home he is loopy and sleepy. Ah well.
So let's get rid of the UK tour. I have not read what I wrote last but I think it was the very end. I was to go to Belfast and hang out in Northern Ireland, another place I've never been. but when I showed up for my flight I had booked it the day before. They would not give me a discount or let me on the flight. I didn't have money to buy another ticket so I was stuck in London. not really stuck because I had a place to stay. But I was upset for about 10 min. A nice blend of angry and sad. So last 4 days I hung out in London had some more pints hung out with my friend Pete and that was that. I must say I was disappointed in not getting a Guinness in Ireland. and of course upon return my guitar did not arrive. Everytime I travel Air Canada with my guitar, it goes missing, I guess air personnel like my shit.
Fast Forward!
Back in Canada
Threw a CD release party with Future History, www.myspace.com/futurehistorymusic , my closing act. I wanted a full band to close the show since, although I did have another guitarist and a keyboardist out for some songs, I was mainly acoustic. I like ending a show with a full rock band! But alas, everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong. It was still a fun night, with great music, but...
We started well over an hour late, i noticed posters were not in the windows, people refused to pay cover, the manager was not there to pay us.
So what happens was me getting all night "When does the music start?", followed by people leaving early because nothing started yet, and when people refused to pay, we need them in there to make up for people who had to leave, followed by me having to pay the sound guy and the other acts. Also it was a snow day in Barrie so the streets were horrible.
Not a well oiled machine, plus good ol' bad luck.
But we made it through and the people that lasted to the end of Future History's set had a great time.

Me and the boys.Correct grammar version: The boys and I.
The Next night I played after a Fashion show for IMAGO http://www.myspace.com/imagozine It was interesting.
There were models coming out lookin' nice.
then a couple of little girls (5 years old?) walk out and it's all cute.
then they walk off, and a girl comes out with a glasss dildo.
huh, I think.
Just a straight transition from kids to didldo's.
then kids come out again, Awwww, cute.
next up a guy with a butt plug.
Hey-O!
Followed by a girl with her tits sneaking out of the scarf she had wrapped around.
That was a mixed bag if there ever was one.
some models.
Kickin' it
Still kickin' it.After that was up north!
Thunder Bay, ON to be exact, a show opening for Wax Philosophic www.waxontheweb.ca
I burned some CD's
Here is what I say about my music selection
Mumford and Sons and Dan Mangan really good stuff
P Diddy- He is a guest star on his own CD, plus not a very good guest star. It did have 2 or 3 songs that had good beats.
Kanye West- The new CD is really good. As much as I thought I wouldn't like it (mainly because I think he is a dick, but I realize that that has no impact on him being a great artist and producer) so check it out.
THe Black Keys have made a great driving record, Brothers is fantastic.
Smashing Pumpkins-Hve not listened to that double disc in a long time. some great songs but two discs was too much pumpkin, could have easily been paired down to one disc.
Louis Armstrong-Idon't know what it is but I'm on a big Sachmo fix, especially the slow ones. He does a cover of Baby it's cold out side that's pretty cool but I have only heard it on Youtube.
T Bay was ok I hit my favourite eatery's and hiked with the dog visited the family and what not.
Very low key.
but here's some show pics.
Derek and Jarret of Wax Philosophic
Right now nursing the dog and doing finishing touches on Feb tour. to the East Coast of Canada. Opening for The Junction www.thejunction.ca in Fredericton!
Packing up the last of the discs that are going to College radio stations in Canada.
Fun stuff!
If you listen to college radio in Canada request Eyeswide. Although the only provinces that have it at this moment (Feb 7) are Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and PEI, the others will be out in a few weeks.
Here's the tour poster.
I keep coming up with little thoughts for these blogs but I tend to forget them minutes later. I may try shorter blogs in the future.
I still hate the word blog
