Vancouver Blitz!
Her ye, her ye, the Sweater Vest in the house,
Lots to talk about and would like to first begin by sending good karma to former Kiltlifter Mr. Jeremy Hale for playing both Vancouver shows with us. A wicked guitar player indeed.
The Kiltlifters played Malaspina Pub for their annual "Kiss my ass, I'm Irish" Party. Lots of good people, lots of good green beer, and a great time had by all. Thanks to everyone who came out and partied hard.
The next day we all loaded up the truck with plenty o time to spare and headed for the ferry's....and got there just in time to see it sail away (cue styx song). The panic began to sweep across our faces as we thought we were going to be royally screwed for the big show at the University of British Columbia. With some stellar driving through the madness that is Vancouver by scot we pulled up to the gig with enough time to load and soundcheck in a hurry. Hundreds and hundreds of people at this show, and thanks to all the UBC crew for coming out on the day of the Irish. There's many different things that occured after the show, including a mini keg party on a Dorm Floor. Scot wandered aimlessly around campus, Matt chilled with his buddy at the flat, and the Meatball and I took the 31 foot beast out on the road hittin up wreck beach looking for a bonfire party (I will add that I had not consumed any alcohol in the previous 4 hours so was in fine form behind the wheel).
Saturday on to Malones with Vancouvers Elixxxers for the hangover party! Another great show- good food, good people, and good energy. Elixxxers sounded great, kiltlifters rocked it hard, including Matt and Dave in a soloing battle (which I awarded a tie). Headed up to an after hours bar for a nightcap and some mingling, and to bed to catch the ferry early the next morning (which we made!).
Overall a pretty solid weekend...
