Montreal, Quebec, Canaduh
In honor of the Canaduh flag, the Canaduh pages are red and white....
So anyway, we hauled ass for Canaduh... We were
detained at the Canaduhian border for 2 hours as we tried to
understand this lady speaking French to us... Gaah, people...
join tha real world....the rest of Canaduh speaks English....
mebbe you should learn, too..... no WONDER they wanted to
secede.... Fortunately, Steph, the band's DJ, spoke fluent
French, as did CeeCee, Baldur the manager's girlfriend.... (she's
a Canaduhian/Icelandic mix....exotic...(laughs))... We FINALLY
got to Montreal, an absolutely beautiful city, and played at some
dive in downtown ( Soma it was called).... I couldnīt stand
looking at the house lighting guy.... he had 3 foot long
dreadlocks (they look bad enough on the homeboys, but on white
people, are REALLY disgusting), piercings everywhere, and spoke
little English... I couldn't understand a fuckinī word he said,
not to mention that I couldnīt HEAR him, he spoke so quietly...
hereīs a clue, people.... guys with French accents are FAGS....
girls with French accents are irresistible....... yep..... I seem
to have developed a thing for little French girls after flirting
with two cute lil French Canaduhian girls while we were waiting
for the broken down generator on the bus to be repaired
(again)(KILL THE BUS DRIVER!).... They wanted to hear me say all
the words I knew in French, but I wasn't sure they wanted to hear
'menage a trois'.....(laughs). Learned a little lesson about
Canaduian money and how greedy those Canuck fucks are, too.....
After showing at the hotel, I hit the local Dunkin Donuts. The
stuff was reasonably priced, even in American dollars. But, being
in Canaduh, the prices were in Canadhuian dollars, of which I had
none.... SO, they offered to take my American money, with NO
EXCHANGE rate..... Now... Canaduian bucks are worth 60 cents on
the dollar to American bucks..... LIKE HELL I'm going to pay 3
bucks for a second rate donut!!! Luckily for me, Baldur and
Ceecee walked in, and he fronted me some Canaduian bucks...well..
I gave him 20 American bucks, and he gave me 20 Canaduhian bucks,
with a promise to make up the difference later..... I fell asleep
on the bus after slamming the donuts, and didnīt wake up until
we got to Toronto...
Technically speaking
The Pearl manual says it will run any and all intelligent fixtures....hmmm...Someone needs to tell ClayPaky to get with the program....the Pearl WOULD NOT run the two Golden Scans they had in the ceiling at Soma.... No matter what I tried.... So... We went with 6 I-Beams on the floor... The poor opening guys were tripping over my cables, since the stage was rather small.... The sound guys absolutely drooled over the Turbosound system Soma had.... You hear that, Bob? Someone wants your Turbos......(laughs)
On to Toronto!
