Coming Home

Hey There!

Hope everyone is doing well and had an excellent week! For me, this week was filled with concerts, plays and food! Living in Montreal is great :)

Last Friday, we shimmied on over to Crobar to witness Luther Higgs tear up the place with their glorious instrumental tunes. These guys are awesome and if you haven't heard them live yet, I'm not sure what you're waiting for. Sidenote: Diana and I decided to pick up some poutine from Belle Pro before LH's set even though neither of us was hungry... GREAT idea. I forgot how good poutine was. Gravy, cheese, fries...honestly though, what else do you need?

This Saturday, I went to see the play "8 Ways My Mother Was Conceived," written and performed by Montreal's Michaela Di Cesare. In the play, Michaela guides the audience through her family history in a quest to find out the real story behind her grandmother's miraculous pregnancy. Check out this article about the play, and check out the play itself! : http://www.montrealmirror.com/wp/2011/06/09/virgin-mother/. Food of the evening: pulled pork sandwiches from a restaurant called "La Porte" on St-Laurent Blvd, cooked in an enormous outdoor roaster. Delicious. 

Conclusion: I'm so excited for the fun festivals and events going on in Montreal right now. I'm also excited that we're playing a show on Wednesday, June 22 at L'Esco (4467A St Denis) with Primitive Notion and Thick Blooded. Come check it out! 9pm, only $5.

p.s. This song is currently stuck in my head:

Goodnight, Friends!
