slow night, so long.

i don't even know where to begin.

the last month has kind of been a blur. the start of the month was spent at Living Springs Bible Camp, just outside of Camrose, AB. not only did i get to play a show with the captains, but i also got to be a cabin leader, with a rad group of guys. after the week there, we spent another week in regina, just hanging out, going swimming. you know, the usual. this last week was spent at another camp in middle-of-nowhere, saskatachewan. though it was great to be a cabin leader at the first camp, it was great to have just the music to worry about at this camp. without the responsibility of taking care of kids, i got to sleep a lot more, and play a whole lot of freecell. now i'll be back in the city for a few weeks before we take off for our last camp.

now that you're caught up, here's what's actually important.

these last few weeks have really made me realize how important and poignant my faith really is. i've been a christian for my entire life, and it took me this far to really grasp the importance of the life of Jesus Christ. i don't know what you, random reader, believes in, but i can tell you that i have never felt more secure and thankful for my faith. i'd always heard people saying, "Jesus died for your sins", but it really wasn't until this month, that it really sunk in, how amazing that really is. maybe all this comes from the fact that i was baptized this month, but i don't know. i think it's funny how easy it is for christians to just cruise through life, not thinking of what an amazing God we have. we accept whats around us so easily, when the fact of the matter is, it's what's waiting for us after life that is going to be the real treasure.

anyways, maybe that will make you think about things. i hope it does.

Jamison.

the very hush hush (part three)

time to conclude this little number.

after our few days off in regina, we headed back on the road to finish up the last few dates of the tour. the first night was in saskatoon. the lineup that night was reallly sick, so we were definetly stoked to be there. unfortuantly, the drive to saskatoon from regina takes about three weeks. i don't know why it feels like it takes forever, but my word. the longest, boringst trip. either way, we showed up, and called our boi Jimmy. he gave us a floor to sleep on, and a sweet little x-men video, with a lot of swearing in it, to watch. the show was great that night. we got to see Means play one of their first shows with Tyler on bass. it was suppper good, and we danced and had a great time. i also got to see Jumo, who is a reader of this blog. so a big shout out to him for coming and rocking out with us.

so the next morning it was off to swift current, home of my favourite person in the whole world: Bobbykins! we cruised into town, and were hanging out at mcdonalds, when this van full of a bunch of our friends shows up. we cruised around for a bit, and then headed to the venue. the "lyric theatre" was definetly the most interesting venue we played in on this tour. there's like a disco floor, and the stage has like an emptied moat around it. it was alot of fun. we dedicated the set, and every song individually to bob, who came and shreaded his lungs for a song with us. it was a great time. after the show we had a great time talking at BPs. i also witnessed Drew consume his first pint. he hadn't ate anything the whole day, so he went from being talkative to...very talkative. but it was all good. there were alot of sweet people in swift, and lots of encouraging words were said. so many thanks to all our friends in swift.

after swift was our last show of the tour, in moose jaw. it was great going back and having such a good turnout. we chilled with our palz in Go Jeff!!!, who were definetly one of my favourite bands to watch. they will make you dance, and possibly intoxicate you, just with their music. it was a good night too. and it was nice to be back in regina that night.

anyways, with tour over, we've had lots of time to hang out, and go swimming. it's been REALLY hot lately, so we've spent alot of time in our friends pool. i think we're making a music video out of all the fun underwater videos we've taken. i'll post some fun pictures someday.

hope you're all doing well! take care.

Jamison.
