I went to see J. Englishman perform at Sidetrack Cafe in my city, Edmonton.. Me and my "date" arrived early , and sat in our reserved booth, which was rite beside the stage . . The opener band was out of the US, and they rocked..I believe their name was Welcome . .
At about 10, J's guitarist came out onto the stage and began to set up his equipment. I asked him if there was going to be autograph sessions after the show, cuz i wanted to score an autograph for my good friend who was recently in a horrible car crash. The guitarist said that J always has sessions after the show, and that he would make sure that i got the autographs . .
Halfway through the song "MORE" J made a joke that is not a funny thing at all to do in Edmonton . . He yelled that he got a better sing along response in Calgary, which immediately after he said that, everyone started singing along. .
My date wanted to leave right after J left the stage, because she was gettin a little too drunk to even walk .. I told her that i would meet her outside after i scored some autographs . . I stood in the lineup , and eagerly waited.. When i got up to him, he looked up and asked me if i was the guy who had the friend in the accident..He grabbed a t-shirt, asked me my friends name, and signed it , and gave me the shirt for free!! We then talked for a little bit about Ontario(my home province), then i forget all about my date being alone outside . . I thanked J, and i told him that i'm there for sure next time he hits Edmonton ..
