sunday reflections

It's our only day off for the tour, and we've taken full advantage of it! Sleeping in, eating homecooked food, and drinking juice and water instead of beer.

Tyson and Tristan are rallying in Chilliwack, and Dave took off to Silverstar early with Big G, so our first big drive tomorrow will contain a pretty relaxed Suburban. Yay! Yay!

Quick recap on the previous shows: Elusions in Chilliwack went well, mainly because Tyson's entire extended family showed up and drank more beer than the band! We re-named "Regina Nights" as "Abbotsford Nights" to get the first dancers of the evening. Tyson's parents are awesome -- thanks for the beer, beef jerky, dinner, and stories about Tyson wearing leotards and capes! Go Pink Peanut go!

Last night was the 1st Annual Ska Smackdown in Vancouver; a very awesome show! The Elixxxers (ah, a leather clad Bobbi-Jo) opened up the show and judged the smackdown between ourselves and The Hounds of Buskerville; we alternated two 45 minute sets and both bands rallied hard. The Hounds kick ass! After a hard battle, the Kiltlifters reigned supreme; thanks to Peter V. for the bling, crown, beers, cheers, and women's brassiers! (spelling!) Also, thanks to the Furios for getting on stage with us and rallying some Rancid, and to Matt for the killer Drunken Master Freestyle!

Big shout-out to my bro and his girlfriend for coming out to the show and dancing big time..I'll get you that CD asap! No thanks to Elise for bringing the naked photos to the show! Thanks to the Swiss girls for being Swiss! Thanks for the cans of Kokanee at the afterparty, and we're working on a new song about backlickers!

Off to Silverstar tomorrow...
