So, as per my last entry, touring in Canada often requires long drives. In the case of our current gig, it was a two day drive. Last night we were about 45 Km. outside of Canmore when we nearly rear ended some jack-ass who was stopped dead, straddling the two lanes, passed out with his head on the steering wheel.
We managed to miss him and pulled over to the side of the road and Dave and Nathan went to investigate while I called 911. Sure enough this guy was completely obliterated, drunk.
Meanwhile a semi, nearly slammed into the back of this guy, missing him by inches.
They managed to get him to pull over and some mysterious person who claimed to be the guy's sister showed up. The cops assured me they were coming so we left him to his destiny.
Today we followed some other idiot who swerved back and forth with a utility trailer in tow. Suddenly, smoke started pouring out of this guys trailer tires and he proceeded to blow out two tires. The shocking part came when, despite my attempts to get his attention by honking and flashing my lights, he still continued to drive, ON RIMS, for at least 20 more Km. finally we came across a place where we could pass the guy and flagged him over. He gave us a knowing nod as though, "I know, I know".
What a Jack-ass.
We're resting at the hotel getting ready for our two sets tonight at The Minstrel Cafe. Sound check went well and I suspect it will be a good gig.
