i'll keep waiting for you.



just an all around good weekend.

friday night, i convinced andy to drive to langley to go see sherwood/the fold/tokyo rose and those darling februarys. the show was really great. it was great to see all those lovely langley folks again. musically the show was a hit:

the febs opened the night with a set of crowd favourites. seriously, if lucas' voice wasn't feeling great on a night they played in langley, the crowd would take care of everything. you could tell that the guys wanted to bring their a-game, and they did.

tokyo rose's first song was REALLY cool. but i really didn't get too into their songs. musically, they were wicked tight, and for their younger age, you could tell that they'll be around for a while.

the fold were up next, and they put on a really great set. they had that look like they were just LOVING what they were doing, and that's always great to see in a band. after the show, i got a chance to talk to them, and they were all incredibly nice guys.

headlining the night was the loveable sherwood. i could not help but smiling their entire set. their music was so much fun, and they were so entertaining to watch. their keyboard player was one of the most entertaining musicians i've ever seen play. expect HUGE things from this band.

after the show i put on my PR hat, and handed out captain cds to the bands (lucas didn't have a finished copy, so i definetly needed to give him one). the bands were all super nice about it, and they definetly showed interest, rather than being total rockstars about it...and that was friday!

i had to work all saturday which was alllright. it was pretty busy all day, but very steady, which was nice. from about 5:30 to 6:00, my co-worker sean and i just practiced our putting on the putting green. i made some AWFUL shots, believe me. when we closed of the pro shop, the other guy i was working with, adam, and i went out to hole one, to play the first few holes, while the sun was setting. as boring or long as my day might have been, that view as we teed off on hole 1 made it all better. adam shot it about three feet from the pole, which is pretty unreal concidering he hadn't swung a club in like a year or two. my drives were mehhh, but from the fairway i was on. i bogeyd the first two holes which weren't bad considering i hadn't played in like at LEAST three years.

listen to all that golf lingo. hey, when you spend 35 hours a week at a course, you kind of HAVE to be into it.

then after work, andy, rob and i went out for supper at "pizza hut", which turned into dairy queen, seeing as we had no idea where a pizza hut was in our area. of course we ended up at the java hut for coffee before we headed home.

i had today off, and i get tommorow too. so i plan on sleeping in and enjoying a nice day of watching tv and eating goldfish.

hope you all had a great weekend. here are the links to those bands from friday night. check them all out, they deserve it:
