Follow Us Around Pt.2

We’ve only played two shows but we’ve been on the road for going on 4 days…

We finally made good on our promise to visit the Big Apple in Colborne.  I ate some pretty gross fried apples.  It was worth it for this:

The Avante-Garde Bar (Ottawa) is an interesting place.

It’s an East-Block/Communist-themed cafe/restaurant/bar/concert venue. Bobby had some tasty Russian dumplings which I could not sample because I’m Vegan. I had a salad…Ottawa is a party town without any want for scantly drunk scantly clad women, cars that sound louder than our PA and public vomiting.  Greg McEvoy and his band were great. I had no idea they were Torontonians until we got talking. There were zero native Ottawa bands on the bill.

Because they are nerds….

Later we threw in the “Live at Pompeii” DVD and that got us all the way to Moncton.

Moncton has a great comic book store called The Comic Hunter.  I can’t stress how much of a nerd mecca that place is!

Plan B is a great little venue with some great people – really friendly staff who were appreciative and generous.  Thanks Moncton!

More to come!
