Here's the roadmap:

And here's Ryan (in glasses) and me:
http://www.theminorthirds.com/tm3-cp-rt-400.jpg
And we're coming to, you know, rock, more or less.
I'll be in Edmonton (hi Anthony! hi Fields of Salmon!), Saskatoon (hi, uh, no one I know!), Winnipeg (hi Bryan! hi Jodi!), Regina (hi Huckleberry!) and Moose Jaw (hi dk!). I think everyone who lives there is aware that I'm coming and all. If not: E-mail me!
We leave Wednesday afternoon. I have never been outside the U.S. before. We are terribly, terribly excited.

Anyway, yes. We saw Brandon -- thanks for recommending that radio station, it was awesome!
Huck, we have no problem with the accomodations and are grateful that you've allowed us to crowd up your space and force you to be tour guide and all. It has all been mellow and nice. Everyone has been mellow and nice.
And we did see the refinery mabob, which was large and pollutive but pretty (sigh) -- Ryan and I have total love of these kinds of industrial structures.
Tonight we rock, tomorrow we hit MOOSE JAW!
dk, you better get your butt down here and say hi (or say hi in Moose Jaw), k?
Also: As mentioned on the other thread, prairie boys are generally pleasanter on the eyes than I had expected (I hadn't thought about it that much, actually).
― c in regina, Friday, 5 December 2003 03:17 (twenty-two years ago)
I want to repeat (though I'm sure I'll say it again) that this tour has been wonderful (if completely exhausting) and I'm glad to have met you all and your fine highway system. ;-)

Random hippy dude comes up and starts telling Chris how one of his lyrics is inaccurate (surprising it's not about SK, it's about the cellular structure of the euglenoid [sp??)) and then says, "so, you guys like the Grateful Dead?"
Also bizarro quartet of drugged-up hoodlums were all making out and staggering all over the place, but seemed to listen to TM3 nonetheless.

A handful of people after the show were really excited by our project, which was very nice, and we sold a few CDs and had actual conversations with people. People who I hope actually like the CDs and e-mail and whatnot.
Anyway, off to check out the tunnels and try to find the famous Peacock Collegiate.

(btw, I got to play in the G*ng W*z*rd show last night at an art gallery in Seattle as a mummy playing with the language master. sadly, one of the entourage got a little crazy (i.e. not Jake and not Br*an M*ller) and tried to roll a tom drum down the stairs but accidentally dropped it on a woman's head. she had to go to the hospital. show immediately cancelled and everyone was escorted out. very very sad day in the chapter of the g*ng w*z*rd. even though jake, br*an, and i had nothing involved in it, we still feel terribly TERRIBLY awful about what happened, and hope everyone is ok)
― donut bitch (donut), Friday, 5 December 2003 19:35 (twenty-two years ago)
Sigh.
Anyway. A quick google search for "cellular structure euglena" shows hippie guy to have been wrongo bongo. But he has his weed to keep him warm.

Argh, dk, I wish you had said hi. I was in a weird mood by the end of that show and was hoping you would prove to actually be there and say hi, it would have cheered me up a bit. Were you the guy who lingered around towards the very end?
Moose Jaw is actually a really nice town -- a bit touristy, but nice. It reminded me of Ashland, OR, without all the cultural stuff, though (and I guess only db will get what I mean), and some historical stuff in its stead.
― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 8 December 2003 12:12 (twenty-two years ago)
Chris, I'm glad you made it through the weather. I don't know if the winds that hit Regina Friday night made it to Moose Jaw (which, as has been said, is in a different weather system, despite the fact that we can SEE Moose Jaw from here, if we stand on a chair), but if they did, congratulations, you have survived nearly the worst this part of the world will throw at you (only we have to deal with it for about three months solid).
― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 8 December 2003 14:35 (twenty-two years ago)
I am so exhausted. I can't believe I'm going to work today.
dk, I don't suppose you know if our picture was in the Saturday Times-Herald after all? We were told it would be (which seemed odd, since we had a huge picture in the Friday paper), but the paper comes out after noon and we were on the road by then.
I suppose I'll call them in a bit.

Sort of sad. No one hurt. Still smoke over the city.
