Too Much Blah, Not Enough Blog.

Been shooting videos and cats... OK, well not the latter. Though sometimes....
Trust everyone had an enjoyable, non-denominational specific, alloted time.
Let's start up where I left off.
I arrived in Edmonton after an exhausting over night trip from Vancouver Island. I wanted to give a better update when I arrived but I was just too blah and not enough blog.
So I'm in a rec. hockey league. I play on the "Yellow Pencils". We're winless in 13 games. We play on Sundays but I've missed the last 6 weeks due to being away on the road. Now we are breaking for the holidays so it will be 9 weeks without playing a game.
So when we started to play shinny a couple weeks ago, I was mighty happy.
The beginning of the month, I was sent out to Montreal to shoot the video for, "Give Me Your Love".
Winter travel always has a certain "Je ne sais SUCK" to it.
In this particular endeavour, I was to fly out on Friday, shoot over the weekend and fly home Monday morning. Now I must say, it did actually happen that way, but the in between part was not expected.
We got DUMPED on. Described as the worst storm in 60 years, the whole Eastern part of Canada and the Eastern Seaboard in the U.S. was slammed hard. We're talking Foot upon Foot of snow in a matter of hours.
Naturally, the video was scheduled to be shot outside.
Needless to say, it was cold. Like, " I grew up in the Yukon and this is freezing!" kind of cold.
The outdoor scenes were naturally where I was playing guitar, a physical act that requires the player is NOT wearing gloves. My hands swelled up and turned a colour somewhere between Maple Leaf Red and Fleur de Lis Blue.
But the crew was great and we got through it with minimal amputations.
The video also required scenes where I drank. The first shot was where I sauntered up to the bar, ordered a shot, slammed it and left. After the first 5 shots in 2 minutes, my saunter turned into more of a stagger and we soon substituted whiskey with watered down cola. But it was too late. I was quite drunk for the whole shoot. The other shots involved slamming beers and we all know that there is no good substitute for beer...
Look for the video in early in January.
We'll have some new concert dates to announce soon too.
I'd like to congratulate my dear friend Jonny and his wife Elly on the birth of their baby girl, Molly.
