We were in some crazy neighborhood. I've never once seen so many people completely strung out. We turned on the street of the venue and saw an erratic woman in the crosswalk with blood running down her neck. Across the street, a man lay on the ground as paramedics readied a stretcher. In the alley where we loaded in, about six very strange shifty characters walked pointedly toward corners, and fidgeted in their pockets, huddling. All a bit boisterous. All very interested in the contents of our van.
We hurried our things inside and triple locked the van once we were done.

After witnessing all the er, activity, outside the venue, I was skeptical of what this show could possibly be like. BUT, the show turned out to be amazing. This was our first night to play in Canada, and the crowd was pretty set on letting us know they wanted us back again. During the entire set, three super energetic guys danced and even MOSHED to our songs. HA! So funny! They were stoked, and after the show criticized the rest of the crowd for being so mild.
It felt so nice to play for a responsive, energetic bunch. And thus began the pick-me-up of our slightly dampened spirits.
We crossed over the border with ease late that night, and spent the night in a Super 8 somewhere in Washington, pleased and pumped. Next stop: Seattle!
