It's over. Another year of too many people in the streets of
the nation's capital, passing out, puking in garbage cans
and taking off their puke-covered clothes. I had to work
tonight so I actually missed most of the action but when
I came out on to Elgin Street after my shift, the hoards
were gathered watching the fireworks above parliament.
One thing I noticed about these fireworks (that everyone
goes ape about) is that they are not really all that exciting -
IF you are sober.
A friend called me after my shift and asked if I wanted to
meet him at a pub on Elgin but in a tired and unenthused
state, I thought 'everywhere on Elgin will be packed - and
I have a car with me and won't be able to find a spot' so
I declined. What a buzzkill.
In fact, Sarah and I came home and watched a re-run of
Just Shoot Me online.
Hooray for Canada Day.
Last night was a great set at The Rainbow (especially
considering our regular drummer was replaced by one
of our guitarists Paul) and a good time was had. We
could have used more practice and a better sound guy
but people had good things to say.
On to the next one.
