Great show - hard to sell out this 700 capacity room on a Tuesday, but we do pretty good. Extra openers "Old Man's Beard" and "Cuff the Duke" put on tremendous sets, in addition to The Wooden Sky's awesome set.
Promoter Frank Loffredo, once again comes out with full on BROOD support (example, in contract it says the BROOD goes on from 10:45 until "as long as they want to play". A better example is this: during the show, he emails our agent and gets tacit approval for us to play this coming Halloween. He will fly us up for the show. "Will you do it guys?", he eagerly asks, while the crowd is anticipating the encore... "uh, yes", we reply. "Can you tell the audience now, during the encore?". Done and done. this guy is a huge music fan, and again it's hats off to Frank ... Now I will have to explain to my 4 year old son Kaspar that I won't be taking him out in his elephant costume this year. Maybe Frank can come down to Toronto and sub for me as dad.
We are still sick, and Mark has decided that based on the terrible condition he is in, we will have to forego a CBC live recording of tomorrow night's show in Winnipeg. A sad but necessary concession. We try to pass it off to the Wooden Sky boys, but CBC prefer to take a rain check with the BROOD. Fair enough.
The next morning, we get up early, bundle up and take on the 7 hr journey. There is frost on the ground, and here's a few photos from North of Superior.
.... and the relentless crowd surfer was none other than Jesse of Old Man's Beard... inspirational
