Toronto is pretty ugly:
But it did have one great thing, Paul's Guitar Boutique
Oh No! Oh My! doing their thing at Sneaky Dees
The Toronto show went well, all things considered. One guy showed up who had bought our album off Emusic and "couldn't remember" where he heard about it. I thought that was pretty great. Maybe we're becoming sort of an airborne virus in the Canada air.
Jesse is Satan?
Toronto loves graffiti. And their bartenders are sarcastic cynics.
The New Hat
The tunnel from Canada to the US
Jason and Chris briefly rode this freight while we waited for it to back through Detroit
The Detroit show was out in Ferndale, which is about a mile from 8 Mile Road (of Eminem fame.) The venue was actually very nice and clean; the neighborhood seemed great, and we're staying in the supremely classy basement of a friend of Oh No! Oh My!'s. The horror stories about Detroit are probably true but we managed to escape the bad side of town this time.
All of our border crossings went swimmingly too. Both the Canadian and U.S. Customs folks asked "who's the lead singer?" and told us to "rock on." The Canadian customs lady even helped us fudge our paperwork so we wouldn't have to pay any taxes on our retail merch. Thanks Canadian Customs Lady.
Only one more show, in Chicago tomorrow night, and then we get to drive all the way home to L.A.
