Last night ended with the four of us sitting around a big, wooden, victorian-like dining room table in this huge old brick hostel in Fredericton. We ate chips and each had a glass of red wine as we told jokes and poured smarties like shooting rainbows. There was a closet that had nothing in it but a plastic basket with about 20 local albums in it. It reminded us of the Wardrobe to Narnia – I had a burst of excitement and tried to climb into it and quickly shut the door behind me (obviously hoping to find the Lion and The Witch) but could feel the bottom of it start to cave as soon as I put weight on it. I had to hop out before anything magical was able to happen. Too bad really.

The beginning of the weekend was on Friday night at Peppers Pub in St. John. That was a pumped up show let me tell ya. I was a little anxious about it because I had been sick in bed for three days..literally. I had/still have remnants of, a really bad chest-turned-head-cold and had barely any voice to work with. Anyways, after two hot water/lemon/honey/gin concoctions that day, some strepsils, cough syrup, lots and lots of water, and a quick shot of jagger before hitting the stage, I was good to go. Mostly. By the end of the set my voice was SHOT. There was good energy in that room though, kept me going! Thanks to Three Sheet for having us out!!

That night we stayed at my Aunts place – she made us a big brunch in the AM and everything. Nice relaxing drive to Fredericton where we got some more food later on, then went to Value Village. Justin got a very nice shawl…er…I mean…poncho…and I got a cool velvet blazer thing. After loading in our gear and having a smooth sound check, we bought some more food and had a cute band supper at the hostel. Apparently we eat a lot on tour…yum!

Overall a really great roadtrip weekend – we love touring! Can’t wait for Ontario in March! We’re going to hostel/crash at friends places the whole way. Who needs fancy hotels??

We sold a bunch of CD’s and T-shirts throughout the weekend too – Thanks for the continued support!!!
