Dear friends and followers. Happy new year. It’s a hell of a year to try and recap, but here we go. Obvious highlights:
Bikefest - no surprise here, but jumping on my ‘92 1100 virago and heading over to Cape Breton with Erin, Al, Bribri, and meeting up with big Mike and Laura rules pretty damn hard.
Moncton - you’d be surprised…that Moncton…has got some of the coolest cats. Spent a day recording the strawmen, and on another occasion, made a motorcycle trip to see (and party with) the demon’s claws. Moncton, a definite high point, two years in a row.
Liquid Vapours show - motorbike trip to CB for a awesome show with some of the best people I care to know. Show recorded for a live disc! Late night/early morning drinks at the hotel. Can’t go wrong.
Fort Augustus - I ditched the frat house downtown ch’town and moved to the country. Best thing I ever did. I love it. Be as loud as I need, and can take the dog for long walks in the woods down to the water. It’s the best.
Personal shout outs:
Bill Vapour — Still the real deal. Through and through. Much to look forward to this year.
John Bruce — Keeping the east alive in the big TO. Can’t wait to hang out again.
Tom & Alex — amazing folks and gracious hosts. Can’t wait to hang out in 2012
Tyler & Emily — you guys are awesome. We need to meet up more often. For sure.
Mike & Michelle — bread, vinyl, wine, and lock ‘n’ loll!!!!!! Much needs to be done in 2012
Kira — thanks for the sweets/coffee. Hopefully see you next summer!
Danielle — I want to borrow Luna. Please? And how will I ever convince you to come for a mid winter visit? geez.
Lilah —you’re cute. But don’t tell anyone I told you so.
Erin — As always. It’s been a crazy year, but another year nonetheless. Love you.
I know there’s more of you that are worth mentioning, and a million more that deserve to have horrible things said about you, but I just don’t fell like having a terribly long blog post.
So, with that said… 2012 —don’t suck. Please. Thanks.
