Vancouver BC

Jazz gig in Edmonton Wednesday night, straight to the Greyhound station for a red-eye 6h trip to Calgary, straight to the airport with De-El-Three to fly to Vancouver. Finally made it, although our luggage was left behind. That sucked a bit. But the skytrain (or whatever it's called: the monorail?) now runs straight from the airport to the Sea-Bus!! A two-zone fare from North Van all the way to the airport is a lot cheaper (and quicker) than a shuttle or taxi.

Straight to Katsu for all-you-can-eat sushi, then NAL to rehearse with the Rude City Riot squad. Haven't seen anybody since we played Shambhala. Worked on new songs, I ended up writing an instrumental on the spot that ended up sounding good. Simple, short. Flows well. Still needs a name: Kight-Cowen Stomp? (I want to name it after Sean Furios &/or Dan.) After, was supposed to meet Fallon & Kate downtown for a punk show, and then mad hangs with Jobi after she got work, but it was late, and (not having my luggage, or phone charger) my phone was dead. And I was tired, and I'm a jerk.

Slept in, sushi for breakfast, skateboarded around Lonsdale all afternoon, then met Rochelle Rochelle for wine and hangouts with her boyfriend. Air Canada is awesome, they found our luggage and delivered it to DL3's door. Now I have deodorant and a phone-charger. Rehearsed at NAL with Flavio for Big Easy Music Festival tomorrow! Sick, sick drummer. (He's good.)

Leave tomorrow morning for Nanaimo! Can't wait to see Mike Noga again!!! I miss you, good sir.
