Myriad AB/BC Tour - Day 2 - Victoria, BC/ Qualicum Beach, BC

This morning started with some drama.  We had to fill up the car with some gas before returning it, but after trying 2 gas stations (which were both closed) we gave up.  Then, when we got back to the airport to return the car, we discovered that Chris had misplaced his wallet.  Crap!  So he raced off to find it while Dan and I checked us in.  When Chris texted that he had found his wallet, we sent him this...

Chris felt like a ninja because he had successfully found his wallet (on top of a closed gas station pump.)  I'm not so sure....

We had more fun on the plane tormenting Dan while he slept....

The flight from Calgary to Victoria was beautiful!

Once we arrived in Victoria, we went to John's Place for a fantastic brunch

\ 

While we checked in, Dan lounged...

Then we drove to Qualicum Beach to perform at The Old School House

After the gig, we had some post-gig, post-drive pints around the corner from the hotel

Here's a video overview of the day.  Tomorrow, we have a day off in Victoria.  We're going to try to go golfing.  This can't be good...

Myriad AB/BC Tour - Day 1

So, Myriad is heading out on the road!!!  Before we left, we had to have some last minute rehearsals...

With those preparations complete, it was time to fly to Calgary!

We kept ourselves busy during the flight

Dan had fun dragging around the bass travel case.  It corners like it's on rails!

We saw this in a liquor store...yup....it's vodka shaped like a tommy gun.  And, it's only $85!

Here's some pics from the gig

And here's some pics from the post-gig hang

Lastly, here's a video summary of Day 1!

A little Kitchener, and a lot of Mo's

On Saturday, Nov 5th we performed in Kitchener at the Jazz Room.  What a fantastic venue! 

Sad we had to miss the Sausage Fest...

Movember updates...

East Coast Tour!

Dan arrived in Toronto on Oct 30th.  We were both so excited, we could hardly contain ourselves!

The next day was Joel's B-day, so we decided to greet him at the airport with a welcome and Happy B-Day sign (courtesy of my lovely and talented wife, Jenny)

Halloween was the next day, so we put Joel right to work carving a pumpkin.

 

 It was a sad pumpkin. 

On October 31st, we departed for PEI to play some gigs and lead some masterclasses.  We travel in Jazzy style.

 

While in Charlottetown, Dan wanted to buy a toque.  Where better to get a Canadian toque then Roots?

So, for the month of November, or Movember, men all around Canada are growing moustaches to raise awareness for prostate cancer.  This is what we look like on day 1.

We went out for a B-Day dinner with Joel at the Gahan House in PEI.  Yummy food, and a nice B-Day Brownie for Joel.

Some pics from Charlottetown.  I'm sad that we missed "Muddy Buddy."

Lunch at Swiss Chalet.  Swizznay!!!!

We drove to Wolfville, NS where we stayed at a cute B&B

We played a great gig at Acadia University.  It was well attended, and I think people really dug what we were doing!

In the morning we were invited to Mark Adam's place for some breakfast.  It was YUMMY!

There was a chicken in the kitchen

Dan looks good with a oven mitt on.

I was not so happy about my Minnie Mouse coffee mug

Thanks Mark Adam, and thanks Acadia!

Unfortunately, my camera broke when we arrived in Antigonish so that's all the pics I have from the East Coast.  But, I just arrived in the West Coast so more pics will follow!
