its MONDAYYY! yeehaw! Im exhausted from this past weekend! Another visit from Couch to start off the month of May, and she brought along lovely Miss Jade! We had a jam packed weekend full of drinking, show going, and tattoo's!!!
Friday couch had a tattoo session with miss Guen Douglas at Planet Ink. She started a wicked peice on couch's rib cage of a pin-up styled lady on a trans am, with a desert background! Couch is pretty hardcore cus she sat through it for 3 hours and didnt make a sound! I wish i had a photo of it to show everyone, but its not my tattoo to show! So amazing though! After that we went out to see a band called CHINESE FOOD and RUDEBOY @ the rainbow! Now this venue gets a lot of flack, but i think its a rad place, and it reminds me of Wylders in north bay! I pumped couch and jade full of beer, to ensure a good time would be had :) After that we headed to Ska Jeff's house for a swell party! We showed up fairly late and apparently a lot of folk had left, but i think we were all so drunk by then that we had a swell time regardless! Met some swell folk and had some laughs, then we headed home.
Saturday we ventured to the tattoo parlour again so i could get some work done by Guen as well. I think shes an amazing artist, and everyone at the shop was very nice and friendly! Ill post a photo later in this blog. We decided to take a tour of parliament, as Jade & Couch have never visited CAT TOWN before! Then we hit up the museum of nature, and visited the dinosaurs & birds! We also had a swell lunch at the infamous SO GOODS, and it was fucking SO GOOD! After Chris Caisse joined us and we went to mavericks to see Orphan Choir, Old Boys & Brights. It was an awesome show and I've waited two years to see Orphan Choir! I was definitely not disappointed (even though i didnt know one song they played!)
Sunday was cut short and sweet, as my NB crew had to leave me! The weekend went by super fast and i miss my ladies already! I dont get to hang out with Jade that often, as she normally works when im in the Bay, so it was awesome spending FUN time with her!!!! I couldnt pass up the chance to kiss this lady!
Anyhow, a few weeks ago my friends in the Hometown Hecklers came and played a show in Ottawa. I was insanely excited to see them, as they are also a group of friends i rarely get to spend time with when visiting North Bay! I havent seen them play in over a year, and fuckkkk they improved & progressed incredibly!!!! I love watching bands progress into something great and something fun! They are, hands down, some of the best people around! I love you guys!
They brought up two more north bay friends, Becky & Aaron. I invited everyone over the morning after the show for breakfast and i made them raspberry pancakes, and Miss Verch provided us with some homemade maple syrup! It was amazing, to say the least!
now CASS ETTES!!!! Jennii will be here, in ottawa , in roughly two weeks. Im fucking excited about it! I know our past is tainted and poisoned, but i think we can work through our shit. We know the mistakes we've made in the past and I hope we both work hard to not make those mistakes again. Im really excited about recording a new EP, and to listen to our old recordings which are now mastered!!!! We even have two live sets that were edited and mastered too, so im pretty pumped to get this shit going. We will be recording our new EP righfully titled "FAKE PRETENTIOUS LAUGHERS" with our friend Jon Parolin in north bay this July! And for even better news, we'll most likely be adding mandolin into some of our tunes (cross your fingers!!!) We have lots of shit to do once jennii lands, and im stoked to get on it!!!!
So, my new tattoo is for my pops. As some folk know, my dad is my hero and probably the only reason I am the person that I am today. We've had a hard past together, and at points of my life i swear i hated him. Being older now, and understanding the process of growing up.... I really appreciate the person he is, and the decisions he's made (though many choices i know he regrets). I never hold anything against my father for the simple reason that he realizes his mistakes, and he's apologized for them and continues to do so often. I think this is a really important trait in someones personality, and im glad he passed that trait onto me.
A long time ago, there was a point in time my dad didnt think he'd ever see me again. I know this situation really fucked him up. He busted ass and did everything in his power to find me. During the 80's it wasnt very often a man was granted custody of his children, and my father was one of the first! Im forever thankful for his willpower and the fact he never gave up. His first tattoo was for me....a black unicorn with my name in a banner. I plan on getting the same tattoo eventually (minus my name!) I know this tattoo may be some what typical, but i put a lot of thought into it. The horseshoe represents my dads love for horses, and the luck (good & bad) that he has had in his past, and for his future. I dont get to see him often, so i feel like hes always with me now. He hasnt seen it yet, but i hope he likes it!!!!!
Anyhow, i ran out of things to say. I get to see ATMOSPHERE THIS WEEKEND! ahhhhhh
