And you wake up and listen to "the shape of punk to come". And you feel much better.

Anyway, by the time we pick up all the gear and people we're on the road by three. We have two vehicles: one, a rental car, the other, this car trying desperately to be a van. Add to that gear and ten bandmembers (us and the tragidies) and, yeah, things are a little cramped. But the ride up was alright. Listened to some good tunes (some change of heart, some of the new steve malkimus). Good times. We get there by about twenty to seven.

Dale took us to this (japanese?) restaurant called Fomosa that he'd been talking about all week, and it's just as good as he said it was. Chopsticks were a little hard to manage, but I'm getting much better at it. So after that, us spincycle boys proceed to just walk around. I try to explain how I like the layout of charlottetown, but not very well.

So we're walking around, and christian says something to the effect of "wouldn't mind going bowling right now". To which dale says "well, there's an alley right in here" just as we're passing this rec centre. And, sure enough, there is.

So we went bowling in charlottetown.

I hadn't bowled since junior high, but didn't too bad. They had these tv screens that automatically kept track of the score and showed little animations when you got a strike or spare. Good times.

But wait a sec. Don't we have a gig to play?

So we make our way to brennan's and set up our gear and figure out who's using what. Lots of gear sharing, but that was pretty much unavoidable. So after that we head to the lc for some afterparty booze (I know, I know), then spend some time wondering around town with the tragedies, taking shots of rum and whiskey along the way. So by the time we play I got a bit of a buzz on.And it was great. There was a good crowd there and we played pretty well considering we hadn't jammed in two weeks.

And the rest of the show went well. Smothered in Hugs were pretty good and the tragedies played a fun energy-filled set. And sure...sigh...ryan did end up breaking my guitar. But it's nothing I haven't done before and looks pretty much fixable. All and all, a really good time!

So now, afterparty! Well, no...more like carry tons of gear to the afterparty. So yeah, by the time we got there I was pretty tired. Christian seemed to feel the same way and was trying to go to sleep himself.

So yeah, let's go to sleep. While a loud, crazy party raged around us.

Suffice it to say, this wasn't done without some difficulty. But once someone figured out how to make the futon into a bed we were pretty good to go. Which was good, since we were woken up at 9 am.

Yeah, that rental car had to be back by 1:30 in order to not be charged for an extra day. Suffice it to say, noone was in any shape to do anything. Most of the ride back I spent asleep, dispite what I got in the evening/morning. But it was all good. Got back safe and sound.

And thus ended spincycle's first show in pei.

Let's do it again!
