* yes it really looks like this, and no i didn't take this photo
Walking up and down Commercial Drive.
Wishing I had a camera.
Waiting to play a show in Vancouver.
The bus ride was long, but passable. Bus drivers as a species are ornery, and seem to lack fundamental compassion. They bark the orders to the passengers as they are herded from one bus to another and given 15 minute rest stops at random mountain towns. Fellow passengers range from uber sketchy to slightly less so, with the occasional snowboarder and young tourist thrown in. Sixteen hours later I arrived in Vancouver, with the requisite bus hair and fatigue.
Today I did my first real interview, second ever counting CFCR's Afternoon Buzz. Amanda Ash is an amazing journalist, who works for Radio 3 and Exclaim! magazine. She's very passionate about women in music, which makes for great conversation. She'll post the interview on her blog soon.
Tonight I'm playing at Cafe Deux Soleils, only a couple blocks from where I'm staying with my friend Michelle. I'm so excited to play the venue. Besides being a killer breakfast place, the Cafe hosts some of the coolest bands in this city.
Tonight's show is a triple bill with Prophecy Sun and Unreliable Narrator, and should range from arty/obscure electronic noise to classic folk. Very exciting.
Stay put for updates from this beautiful city. I always forget how great it is, and am astounded again and again by the views from every direction, the harbour and the clouds misting the mountains on the horizon. The air smells like cedar and green leaves.
