Its been a real long time since we've posted anything on this piece, so here's an update for y'all;<br />
<br />
The new record is called <i>Young Wisdom</i>, it was recorded with Michael Kraushaar (our best bud, also did our <i>s/t, </i>and <i>Mountain Bitch 7"</i>). We're really stoked to get it out there ASAP, thanks for being patient!<br />
<br />
In the meantime we've been writing new tunes and hopefully will release another 7" before the full length gets sorted.<br />
<br />
Our next show is going to be with our good pals THE SHRINE from California, These guys are fuckin killing it right now so make sure to come out to this one, @Logan's Bar, Victoria.<br />
<br />
<br />
here's a track from <i>Young Wisdom,</i><br />

I really don't know why I am doing this, it's quite hard for me and i probably won't do very well but bear with me. We recently went on a three day tour (two of which were spent driving/partying/farting in the van) and it was a time and a half! We played at Bulldogs in Fernie B.C. with <a href="http://www.myspace.com/3iob">3 Inches of Blood</a>. It went a little like this.<br /><br />We loaded up Mike's van at around 2pm on Friday (the show was Saturday so we decided to leave a day early, thank god we did) and waited until our driver Matt was off work. We picked him up in Coquitlam around 4:30 and immediately hit the road. This particular "road" would be paved with drugs and alcohol before we even made it to the on-ramp of the number 1.<br /><br />On our way out of town Adam pulls out the cheeseburger Doritos and his pipe and the party gets started, come to think of it, that was even before we picked up Matt. As we were enjoying the coquitlam scenery Eug starts to freak out and says "Oh my god look who's driving in the car behind us! fuckin Mr. Feenie! We all turn around and sure enough, this guy looks exactly like Feenie! Me, being the biggest Boy Meets World fan of us all, whip out my camera and try to get a shot of him. There's too much gear in the way to get a nice one so I climb back over the terribly smelling bleached merch and jagged drum hardware to get a picture of this fucking guy. And i did. I think he looks almost exactly like Feenie, but you be the judge.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzdo47OZnFV_8cr_YEbdZuavJxwSPXxiDvDX3zhFhM_qhDYuqdtZUIte0r-FR1DjAWjp5TTdgOr1s1X1G4kFrhk7RH7FlMsfoGku2-G073Epjr9zrGXFhOksNlcve1AD_ey93da9bS-Nw/s1600/feenie.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzdo47OZnFV_8cr_YEbdZuavJxwSPXxiDvDX3zhFhM_qhDYuqdtZUIte0r-FR1DjAWjp5TTdgOr1s1X1G4kFrhk7RH7FlMsfoGku2-G073Epjr9zrGXFhOksNlcve1AD_ey93da9bS-Nw/s400/feenie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529254467415546770" border="0" /></a>About 3 or 4 hours in we made the first rest break in Princeton B.C. to get food and wait for the car full of chicks half an hour behind us. I grabbed some tea at the gas station while Adam and Kyle stocked up on more liquor. Adam replaced the bottle of fireball he finished in the van and kyle bought a case of Keystone™, but he forgot his wallet in the van so he had to run back.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ2mjd_8Ugu2ciHq4HE06y3nYq2G4Fuo-_8hByKF_DkGMVsw9djSLlwkklG48Lee5JBSH87KxhMUSApbmb29et4yGCyF7RwQ5OBCGN6kitKpeHQMFFg_kyD9Irp944B9Y-c0CAp6DdoSg/s1600/gas-station.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ2mjd_8Ugu2ciHq4HE06y3nYq2G4Fuo-_8hByKF_DkGMVsw9djSLlwkklG48Lee5JBSH87KxhMUSApbmb29et4yGCyF7RwQ5OBCGN6kitKpeHQMFFg_kyD9Irp944B9Y-c0CAp6DdoSg/s400/gas-station.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529255691817677666" border="0" /></a><br /><br />It was pretty fucking freezing there so they decided to warm up by shotgunning some of Eug's warm beers as opposed to the ice cold Keystones™. We all decided it was a good idea to walk into the only pub in Princeton - come to think of it, it was an Irish pub - and warm up. The place was full of Affliction and Tapout shirts and we got the stares. Right off the bat Kyle asks if they have any pitchers on special toady and the server replies "no, but we have shooters on special". She recommends the "Burt Reynolds" and he orders a round for everyone (except Matt who was stuck shotgunning his coffee).<br /><br />Time passes and so do the drinks. I got a sandwich and soup and Eug got some fucking thing i don't remember. The girls arrived and we smoked in the parking lot and then went to the gas station to fill up.<br /><br />I went to piss while Matt filled the van up and when i came back, kyle was chatting it up with a couple of locals who couldn't have been over 16. I walked over and joined them, he was giving them Black Wizard Cd's. Then they asked him if he would buy them alcohol. Now kyle, being an infamous underage drinker knows how shitty it is to be high and dry on a Friday night in the freezing cold. So he does what any other good Samaritan would do; he buys them a two-six of vodka and keeps the change. When he returned with the goods, he comes up to me and says "I bought them this booze, but you know what I'm going to tell them? I'm going to tell them there's a tax on it. and the tax is that I get to have a sip" so there we are drinking these kids' vodka in the freezing cold weather of Princeton shamelessly promoting our band (not to mention underage drinking). Wouldn't mama be proud!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3hH2UUXGdIPmD-d7eH7SZMgBnM6gUEvb3xDN2cHOVzjuZ9AR5fi8d_vJdnbaY6jluVGvNBQC9Xo_asROfEknAjTMTUkOUf12I7KeFKvbXBvgd4fNGsrfEDg0Lqs_Yfvt83obkVcPiins/s1600/IMG.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 275px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3hH2UUXGdIPmD-d7eH7SZMgBnM6gUEvb3xDN2cHOVzjuZ9AR5fi8d_vJdnbaY6jluVGvNBQC9Xo_asROfEknAjTMTUkOUf12I7KeFKvbXBvgd4fNGsrfEDg0Lqs_Yfvt83obkVcPiins/s400/IMG.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529254989505453234" border="0" /></a>We hit the road again with a van full of gas and liquor. Matt was still driving and i think Adam passed out cause i put on Wooden Shjips, but kyle was still going strong. I was sleeping on the first bench and i would drift in and out and hear kyle and Matt playing the ever-so-popular tour game "would you rather...". One of my personal favorites to pull out during that game is one Adam made up on the <a href="http://blackwizardband.blogspot.com/2010/09/black-sensae.html">Black Sensae</a> tour. "Would you rather be semi-retarded or have the Friends theme song playing in your head for the rest of your life". And on and on it went. Personally, I'd choose the former.<br /><br />We pulled into Fernie around 7 am, but with the time zone change it was already 8 and the promoter Kyle (not to be confused with the bangmaster) had arranged for us to be able to check into our room at 8 am. So we pull up to the hotel that Eug directs us to and asked if there were any bookings under Black Wizard, Eugene or Kyle Hudon. No luck. What the hell man? At this point were thinking Kyle forgot to book our rooms and so we stood outside and racked up some long distance minutes trying to get a hold of him. Finally we found out that we were at the wrong hotel after Eug insisted that "this is the one we stayed at last time, i know cause i swam in that pool!". So we drove over to the Red Cedar inn, checked into our rooms and we all fell peacefully asleep for a few hours.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGiin5f_VguYjqFNRLXtzNdqgflpeIDtrPN4mdDBoxAz6Ah7VLLPidDpmjXoK2A3zl6M2HHGWHJ4GzWonpGwuohj3MkK-fCntWMvkYJasCBEXzboIeNT-PtlA7uh0ZLqPrgfhYbMeb1ak/s1600/black_wizards_06.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGiin5f_VguYjqFNRLXtzNdqgflpeIDtrPN4mdDBoxAz6Ah7VLLPidDpmjXoK2A3zl6M2HHGWHJ4GzWonpGwuohj3MkK-fCntWMvkYJasCBEXzboIeNT-PtlA7uh0ZLqPrgfhYbMeb1ak/s400/black_wizards_06.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529257453003345186" border="0" /></a><br />Around 4 pm I woke up and everyone was gone. Apparently they had only slept for a couple hours and were going to hit the pool. Classic Wiz™ right?. I got up very refreshed and decided to soak in the sauna for a while. So I trolled down there and after about 15 mins kyle walks in fully clothed and says "sweatin it out eh? I'm gonna join ya!". He returned in a flash ready to sweat in his Russian briefs and we roasted for another 20 minutes then lounged around and drank beer in the hot tub for a while. Just a regular Saturday afternoon, no big d.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEindoeD2tIWQDNzYG8c3aPz-J_KBVaJ8CI4TPkeXTo3UiXomYsQg5GeDJvwcR709H0BhWReywi00ryuTUhslghpkAkP2MOJsua-luJvxYZHMci2kbUyYrdJ8jUkyRf-p9ocQlXrwBJpVWs/s1600/Hot+tub_+merch.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 295px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEindoeD2tIWQDNzYG8c3aPz-J_KBVaJ8CI4TPkeXTo3UiXomYsQg5GeDJvwcR709H0BhWReywi00ryuTUhslghpkAkP2MOJsua-luJvxYZHMci2kbUyYrdJ8jUkyRf-p9ocQlXrwBJpVWs/s400/Hot+tub_+merch.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529255268410982802" border="0" /></a>I decided to continue the feel-good kick i was on and go for a run so I walked across the street to the Bargain Shop and picked up some ten dollar seniors Velcro™ jogging shoes and two pairs of boxer shorts that could pass for jogging shorts. I went and knocked on kyles door and convinced him to come with me instead of watching the tube.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG5BieEQk82QitjTuP-mccxrgPywlj94QhLsmVC2CJS4f1XTlsK4u-OOov-1vUd0MVMOObaB6KAUiOzNQqFTcPJATMbYWJXbEtGuX-Qr4qbreKpDX2Z7qo-MMpB2_X4CvyhIrUINz8p4g/s1600/runnin.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG5BieEQk82QitjTuP-mccxrgPywlj94QhLsmVC2CJS4f1XTlsK4u-OOov-1vUd0MVMOObaB6KAUiOzNQqFTcPJATMbYWJXbEtGuX-Qr4qbreKpDX2Z7qo-MMpB2_X4CvyhIrUINz8p4g/s400/runnin.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529255688851693042" border="0" /></a><br />We were just about to leave as kyle pipes up "Hold on, I have to grab my smokes" I told him that you can't smoke and jog and he replied "Why not?". So there we are, half of Black Wizard, jogging around Fernie in underwear, smoking. Just when you thought you'd seen it all eh. There were some bear warning signs and we discussed what we would do if a bear jumped out of the woods in front of us. I said I'd go jump in the river but apparently bears cans swim really fast. So we both agreed that I should get on Kyle's shoulders and start screaming as loudly as possible. As if that would work, that bear would have torn us skinny bastards apart and still be hungry! too bad Eug wasn't there to give him thanksgiving dinner while we ran away.<br /><br />When we got back they were all gone to the bar to load in. So we jumped in the shower (not together, dream on Daniel!) and headed over there. When we arrived, Adam had informed us that we were graciously given two flats of beer for the night and anything on the menu we wanted. So of course Kyle and I all order the most expensive things. A Jack Daniels™ steak for Him and the roast chicken dinner for me. I forget what the other two had, but i think it came with yam fries. Damn, save me a bite.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfpB1-g52zyXzOKvVRs_lYRQMzmJr2mTP3EKUyOL4Ya8vzCGk6GEwNYBYnur_6cgEiNWcU78EDe4AqddbxLKH2dH0x-v_hOWDfBxCay-BLPr4ybTX1m-g4r1PiazEtQlJ4A556kkUurSc/s1600/steph-and-shit.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 282px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfpB1-g52zyXzOKvVRs_lYRQMzmJr2mTP3EKUyOL4Ya8vzCGk6GEwNYBYnur_6cgEiNWcU78EDe4AqddbxLKH2dH0x-v_hOWDfBxCay-BLPr4ybTX1m-g4r1PiazEtQlJ4A556kkUurSc/s400/steph-and-shit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529256453248522802" border="0" /></a><br />There was an opening band, they were alright. Then we were on at about 11:15. Right before we went on, everyone went and smoked a bunch of pot without me outside while I was setting up, so I had no choice but to go smoke a joint in the bathroom by myself like in that one <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYhGi65Lijg">song.</a> We played and it was really fun. some chick yelled "give me your shirt" after we played and I said that I couldn't cause its the only one I brought with me. I met a new friend Alan Gregson that night, he took some rad pictures of us, thanks dude!<br /><br /><br />3 Inches really drove it home that night. I hadn't seen them in about 4 years. it was a completely different lineup but it was really fucking good. They played some old stuff, notably Swordmaster and Wykydtron. Kyle and I were pretty pumped on that. So for about an hour and fifteen minutes, Fernie went fucking crazy and there were about 4 fights. One of which I caught on film, but I still have to develop that roll.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9aWyxV7EzhympMLw2M6nRWgkcOaRfI89icgZAQ-V_xHscJzORqgpZ3LVB8dLAvNv7yrDRQJ5gX5jIfiSly_AEBxmOlQga5Y8NK9JpOeNjGxbVfXx3GiYsMO0ww54_qS0QqcdIcTwjMv0/s1600/adam-johnny.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 295px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9aWyxV7EzhympMLw2M6nRWgkcOaRfI89icgZAQ-V_xHscJzORqgpZ3LVB8dLAvNv7yrDRQJ5gX5jIfiSly_AEBxmOlQga5Y8NK9JpOeNjGxbVfXx3GiYsMO0ww54_qS0QqcdIcTwjMv0/s400/adam-johnny.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529256466021457234" border="0" /></a><br /><br />After everyone was done, one of the guys in the first band came up to kyle and handed him a huge box full of bags of chips. So apparently this guy works for Lays™ or something and it's his job to go around and give out free chips to people. He had no idea how happy that made us. I'm talkin ketchup, cheesies, tostitos, smartfood popcorn (it was this weird caramel kind that sorta sucked) and regular. So hats off to that guy, i don't know his name but thanks chip fairy!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEira7eNbgSbwh3zu5irDDDP-ZBMU8LEKA6znZSAK4jr6pK4JmFHoJ0Ca9HGBxAON1hNwr4SBa7XVu3QgyoewO1_hYtdDGGga-NjPDBnRsFEAxzzCJnTM2PPvXX-QvouZw8ZEhL8bZnowNQ/s1600/eug.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 292px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEira7eNbgSbwh3zu5irDDDP-ZBMU8LEKA6znZSAK4jr6pK4JmFHoJ0Ca9HGBxAON1hNwr4SBa7XVu3QgyoewO1_hYtdDGGga-NjPDBnRsFEAxzzCJnTM2PPvXX-QvouZw8ZEhL8bZnowNQ/s400/eug.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529256461531468514" border="0" /></a><br /><br />On the way back to the hotel, Honey, Geneva and I hit up sev for some late night cheese dogs and granola bars. We Watched t.v. for a bit and then passed out. Matt got a $238 ticket from a cop for all of our open liquor in the van while driving the van back to the hotel to take a shit. Sorry Matt! at least we finished it before the drive back. Meanwhile, Kyle Eug and Adam stayed up through the night partying with the 3 Inches guys til around 8 am I'm told.<br /><br />We checked out around 11 and Kyle was nervous about returning his room key cause he broke it in the lock the night before. Nice goin there Conan. We left our gear in the bar after the show with the intent of the promoter coming down in the morning and opening up so we could load out and hit the road around 11:30. Little did we know that was a bad fucking choice cause he had also been up til 8 partying the night before. So there we are, waiting in the van behind the bar eating Hortons B.E.L.T.C.H'S complimentary of the girls (thanks!) in the pouring rain. Needless to say, we made a solid dent in that box of chips. We did this for the next three hours. I went for a couple nature walks and found some abandoned buses filled with insulation and cool pieces of metal. Took some pictures of a skate park and a church and got a coffee at Big Bang Bagels. Come to think of it, i think i gave the Aussies working there a CD.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvEFC0Ki-0UMj3UK5N6PfViXjiSFpV8yXZL2S4_J04XEhqVHUyPr92OtU1IbDMsPI-KIJLgLIVzaGGtsU3UmIFD9xtYYCDjKawMZ6hQFiJCnr_7paU7I9aubDHn01-K6CZSZY34ewWA_k/s1600/black_wizards_05.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvEFC0Ki-0UMj3UK5N6PfViXjiSFpV8yXZL2S4_J04XEhqVHUyPr92OtU1IbDMsPI-KIJLgLIVzaGGtsU3UmIFD9xtYYCDjKawMZ6hQFiJCnr_7paU7I9aubDHn01-K6CZSZY34ewWA_k/s400/black_wizards_05.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529257445693361138" border="0" /></a><br />Bored to death, we drove to the cop shop to see if Matt could pay his ticket, but they said he had to go to the courthouse to do it and that was definitely closed on a Sunday long weekend. The cop did help us try and contact the owners of the bar to come let us in but the only person she could get a hold of was the owners mum. While we were smoking, I plugged my ipod into an outlet on the police station wall and when the cop came around she says to kyle "have a good night last night?" we replied "yeah". "Your eyes are pretty red hey? tired?" "yeah, i am" he replies. Then she turns to me and says "That's stealin power y'know?" and I thought she was kidding and i laughed it off. I said "yeah right, really?" "people can get in a lot of trouble for that" she says. I thought to myself "GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK BITCH ARE YOU SERIOUS?". She left and I spit on the wall as we left to go sit behind the bar for what seemed like another eternity.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWf7esSshBog6bgp5JYXe7xI2zyzwZdIxt_j_10EykutYg7yo4cnolWm9JvME3GfEYutp0TWs-GRUuXuPttOolX7wCopecGVJeXBx0UHCcAuNuN8z91Pmqug_UpdKKWXrOn6bOrlviBNI/s1600/valley-bird.jpg"><br /></a><br />Finally Kyle showed up and let us in. It was three thirty by this time so we were about 4 hours behind schedule. You never saw us load gear faster than we did right there. We were out the door and on the road in no time looking for the next A&W to raid.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEileM-OTUiC1MitFrzh0l1nL4-tjyRmaPqTRVP08Xmi7nNjG85dxBBj3r4Y__6Lc7XqOnR5t88fW8s_WlwQhA0fUiJUVBELyYqsYwTpXzq_frLANpPwlqsTAyVk2UXI2v8y4IVaQHR03gw/s1600/black_wizards_02.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEileM-OTUiC1MitFrzh0l1nL4-tjyRmaPqTRVP08Xmi7nNjG85dxBBj3r4Y__6Lc7XqOnR5t88fW8s_WlwQhA0fUiJUVBELyYqsYwTpXzq_frLANpPwlqsTAyVk2UXI2v8y4IVaQHR03gw/s400/black_wizards_02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529257442660835122" border="0" /></a><br />Matt drove the whole trip straight, no rest stops other than to pick up some thanksgiving dinner; valley bird, meatball subs and big macs. About half way i cranked the Eminem and Kyle Adam and I did some road tokes and zoned out to the Marshall Mathers Lp. Eug slept the entire fucking ride, we made it home in like 9 hours, take that google maps. 12 hours my ass!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWf7esSshBog6bgp5JYXe7xI2zyzwZdIxt_j_10EykutYg7yo4cnolWm9JvME3GfEYutp0TWs-GRUuXuPttOolX7wCopecGVJeXBx0UHCcAuNuN8z91Pmqug_UpdKKWXrOn6bOrlviBNI/s1600/valley-bird.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 360px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWf7esSshBog6bgp5JYXe7xI2zyzwZdIxt_j_10EykutYg7yo4cnolWm9JvME3GfEYutp0TWs-GRUuXuPttOolX7wCopecGVJeXBx0UHCcAuNuN8z91Pmqug_UpdKKWXrOn6bOrlviBNI/s400/valley-bird.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529256970402782162" border="0" /></a><br />And that was that.

Eugenie and i being the only drivers, were falling asleep at the wheel and needed to crash. Adam and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">eug's</span> plan was to just "go and sleep in some bush" so we left them to it and the remaining members went to browse around the local Bargain World. gems were found, necessities too.<br /><br />Me, kyle and the dynamic duo of nu <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">sensae</span> went on a hunt for food, but all we found was a Chinese restaurant that also sold clothes, a weird art gallery and a gift shop that had the best t shirt ever printed. it said "golden, Canada's g-spot", thanks for that golden. after getting many bad stares we found this cafe and ordered food. Daniel was weirded out by the ice cubes and thought they looked like eyeballs. it was quite good, but the server didn't seem too pleased with us.<br /><br />The muffler of the van broke and fell down. we tied it up with some wire but now the truck was louder than hell the rest of tour. or as Eugene put it "more manly sounding"<br /><br />We got into Calgary around 6 pm. it took way longer than in should have but we were there regardless. food was needed and because nu <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">sensae</span> had played Calgary numerous times, they directed us to tubby dog. tubby dog takes regular hot dogs and turns them in to meals.

The original plan was to play this show on the reserve up in Squamish but at the last minute, the promoter fell through so Will Sotham stepped up and asked his parents (the best parents ever) if he could have a metal show in their backyard, they agreed (although they might not have if they knew what the yard was going to look like the day after).<br /><br />The Wildildlife and Emeralds boys got past the border and up to the jamspace at around 6:30 pm. Once they were out of the car they were easily distracted by the wonders of Canadian culture like ketchup chips and stronger beer. It was hard to tell them we really had to get on the road cause they seemed so happy and stoked. But alas, we had to move. So we set off with the wiz van, the girl wiz car, emeralds and finally wildildlife. The four piece convoy was hard to keep track of so kyle was put in charge of looking back and making sure everyone was still following us.<br /><br />The trip to squamton was about an hour give of take a few', and by the end of it everyone really had to piss. adam even tried pissing in the radiator water supply, no luck. We arrived with minutes to spare, the show had to be done by 10 pm cause the cops are hard asses up there. So we put the power of 12 skids to use and unloaded the van in record time!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicPGrw79V1xQNFzJo3BExgXUFY_BwWHdVL7aQ80tCapth6Q83RrMCyzSHrC-saDQinwM3jhwgP3a1qadFF1KSPOClzH_ffnGkthzA89XQjwIKujBAGA2b4IJ7_MBAYL6hSJCUh_v_uoN4/s1600/IMG_7363.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicPGrw79V1xQNFzJo3BExgXUFY_BwWHdVL7aQ80tCapth6Q83RrMCyzSHrC-saDQinwM3jhwgP3a1qadFF1KSPOClzH_ffnGkthzA89XQjwIKujBAGA2b4IJ7_MBAYL6hSJCUh_v_uoN4/s400/IMG_7363.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469845674340962530" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Wildildlife went on first, churning out some killer stoned out jams with a raging closing tune that i love.

As soon as we got back to bullys one of the dudes from emeralds was looking for his lost i.d. he was choked because this would make it really hard for him to get back home to the states. while everyone was helping look, he comes walking down the street holding the i.d. in his hands, apparently he found it on the street, where he lost it a day before. what are the odds? any way, after that, everyone except johnny and kyle went up to grab donairs at ali babas on 12th. the seattle dudes were stoked on.<br /><br />Later that night we played pub 340 and it was a packed bar man, much thanks to everyone who made it out. i managed to save the van from a parking ticket and a possible tow by telling the officer that we were from out of town and that in kamloops we park in lanes all the time and its not a problem. he asked me "do you have the keys?" and i said "yup" kind of snikering to myself for reasons i wont go into. and i jumped in and moved her around the block. when i got back, i was informed that my amp had blown up so i and emeralds had to use adams back up, which wasnt a problem, but i didnt get to use my new traynor which kinda bummed me out.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA4bhq_Wmn8i5ecJT3hyphenhyphent1Shl3ZmwDvBdHE64TTl1V6FErJaiuuMXMTZGds6FVSyyeOyHyfxE4znbGppLBWxDlOzf9xj1L_BsmOjvb_qNOqgVs9LQzbl6FTRba5u2HhfJOjC07UUxI-so/s1600/IMG_7523.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA4bhq_Wmn8i5ecJT3hyphenhyphent1Shl3ZmwDvBdHE64TTl1V6FErJaiuuMXMTZGds6FVSyyeOyHyfxE4znbGppLBWxDlOzf9xj1L_BsmOjvb_qNOqgVs9LQzbl6FTRba5u2HhfJOjC07UUxI-so/s400/IMG_7523.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469868273489729938" border="0" /></a><br /><br />everyone went back to bullys, to crash and shit. the seattle boys left the following morning with a bunch of our merch and us with a bunch of theirs. best weekend ever dudes! were goin down to do seattle and portland with em in june! stay tuned! and stay tuned for next weekends edition of Weekend Warriors: Island Invasion.<br /><br />peace and love<br /><br />the wizBlack Wizardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13469976713567742065noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-729623345635381163.post-57977837273923734572010-05-06T09:19:00.000-07:002010-05-06T09:22:07.707-07:00WERE ON MTV!not! but you should do drugs and watch this. the video for <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ad_rdF1uGX8">drugs</a>, shot and edited by jay gavin and reel suite productions. this was shot in 74 while we were opening for uriah heep at pat's pub.Black Wizardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13469976713567742065noreply@blogger.com0
