HOME.

home. after 5 weeks it's nice to return. i have a new place to live and the snow is finally melting.

i wanna thank black mountain for taking me with them....from the heart. very amazing band, very amazing people.
it was also a pleasure to be in the fine company of bon iver, ladyhawk and the birds of avalon.

moncton to austin to vancouver. the shows were amazing.

the grand finale was in vancouver at the commodore ballroom. a sold out show with black mountain, ladyhawk and i. spirits were high. josh from black mountain rocked with me on 'the world's slowest man' to a killer crowd. ladyhawk proved to be my new favorite canadian rock band and black mountain......holy shit.....it was an honor to play with them at such a heavy homecoming. thanks again dudes.

hi from austin texas

it's been a great ride. except for the crazy freaky snow storm.
burrito count....?
bon iver are some killer dudes.
black mountain keep on getting better. josh and i were talking last night about how many times i've actually seen them play. 5 tours....must be over 100 shows by now.
crazy.
today i played in austin texas at a place called the typewriter museum. there was a goat in a cage beside the stage, four dogs sniffin around at my toes while i played, 10 kegs of beer, doobies and dirty punks. my favorite show yet.

back home in toronto.

i arrived home from the east coast, greeted by the man. wasn't exactly what i had in mind...but i'll roll with it.
it was nice to be on the canadian east coast. i haven't been there since i was a kid. i remember my smiling folks packing up the red jeep...with a camper in tow. pretty funny looking. drove from schomberg to pei....with my sister and i bouncing around in the back seat.
qff played the shows in montreal. all i can remember is some kind of connection between a banana, a bottle of vodka and the mic getting slammed into my teeth.
read eye mind.

QFF.

i asked the kids if they were there to see alexisonfire. they screamed yes. that's all they said. only then could we continue to confuse their bummed out little brains.
it was a fun night though............. we got really lit up and scott got caught in a mosh ......twice.
