I figured i'd start a blog away from my livejournal.....as ive had LJ for 10 years now. HA! So to start, im going to brag about how amazing my life is right now. Im glad 2008 is over, as it was a cursed year from the get go. 2009 has already been incredible, and im finally starting to feel that my move to ottawa wasnt a huge mistake like every other move i've ever made. I wont stay here though. I have this amazing job as a "nanny" (kinda weird for my lifestyle, but it works!) and it'll be over and done with in 3 years or so. Jennii and I have already made plans to travel Europe after we're done getting our shit together. I feel like maybe this time Cass Ettes have a standing chance agains the world. Before we wanted too much, too fast. We made careless decisions based on how badly we wanted out goals. I wont rush into anything that fast again.
Cass Ettes @ the KFF cd release in 2007
house show in 2007
last cass ette jam november 07
Its hard thinking about the last year that passed. The fact that Cass Ettes broke up again really broke my heart. I cant express how happy i am about our reunion tour we are planning. I think the break we had was well needed. I know our comeback is going to be strong as fuck and amazing. We're going to hit Ottawa, montreal, north bay, sudbury, toronto and kirkland lake this august for a "mini tour" then Rawdog Jennii is going to continue touring solo through the states! Im hoping eventually we can actually record an album, something thats been in the works for....5 years now???? fuck, that sounds kinda crazy when i think about it. I really want to do the ontario shows with this band from Ottawa www.myspace.com/theroughsea fuck they are so amazing.
I just moved out of the KillingForFriday house. The whole situation is kind of strange and truly fucked up, but i feel normal again now that im gone. I hope they are happier too. I miss having those guys as friends. I sometimes think playing those tours with them was a grand mistake, but it was probably one of the best things i've ever done in my whole life.
montreal avec KFF
montreal again
Peggys Cove, Nova Scotia with Battlecreek
Sometimes when i listen to Battlecreek i can almost cry. If im drunk, then its a sure bet i'll shed a tear. I fell in love with those guys on tour. On the way home, i travelled in the BC van and it broke down about an hour away from home. We were all so tired, stressed, depressed and totally fucking worn out. Seth sat there strumming "sleep" on the classical guitar and it was the best moment of the whole tour. The lyrics to the song "sleep" are pretty epic, and by far my favorite Battlecreek song. Listen to it here www.myspace.com/battlecreekmusic I cant wait to hang out with these guys again, though it'll be a long time coming.
Anyhow, my time in Ottawa has been well spent. I feel the full effects of growing up and growing old finally. Working a steady job, is so not like me.....but it feels pretty decent. My job rules, and my bosses rule even more. I spend a lot of time with Steph V. We didnt know eachother too well when we lived in north bay, but now she's probably one of my closet friends and favorite people. She my show-going lady friend. Haha. Jade & Couch just visited, and we all went to see streetlight Manifesto. I didnt take any photos cus i was pretty sick that night still and didnt want to get ruined in the mosh pit just for some silly photo. Ive been able to see Julie Doiron, Ladyhawk, Attack In Black, Constantines....as well as hit up some swell house shows. My favorite house show thus far was the Creeps & the Sedatives which was this past weekend. So fucking amazing. Such a good crowd and good environment. I was definately a happy lady that night. It was also meant to be my "date night" with Ska Jeff, inwhich.....it was a pretty rockin' date i think. Hah.
House show in december with Couch & Dawna

My playlist contains the Decemberists, Katie Caron, Death Cab for Cutie, Sainte Catherines and Blind Melon. Weird i know, its basically my "moving out" playlist.
