Day 1

The great people at MuchMusic have asked me to blog each and every morning for the duration of our Canadian tour with Simple Plan, Metro Station and Faber Drive. As you know by now I graciously accepted, how can anyone turn down typing about being in the lovely country of Canada?

So I’ll just go ahead and list off (in no particular order) a few of the reasons why I love being here.

1. Scores of breathtaking women.
2. An undying devotion to the best sport I’ve ever played, hockey
3. The crisp fresh air.
4. Bryan Adams……. “You know it’s true, everything I do …. I do it for you.”
5. Eh
6. People care about everyone, not just themselves. It’s rare where I come from.

At any rate, I’ll keep you posted on the list as it grows. Last night was Halifax, Nova Scotia, our first night of the tour. We spent the majority of our efforts just getting into the swing of things.

As of two days ago we were on our own U.S. headline tour that was in small clubs with stages just big enough to fit our gear and now we’re dancing on arena stages that could easily be mistaken for a driveway. So it takes a bit of getting used to. I had the chance to meet a decent amount of people thus far but I have a feeling it’s only the tip of the iceberg!

The amount of people that are involved in putting this show on is pretty insane… The behind the scenes is so interesting to me. The buses, trucks, lighting rigs, stage setup…errr it’s all so impressive. I’ll see if I can get some pictures to let you have some visual insight. I am rambling and catering is calling my name so until tmrw… Think positive and try something new, I have the feeling you may surprise yourself.
