Having hit the Pacific ocean, and am crossing into the States, I thought I'd do a quick tally-up:
Days on the road: 22
Days to go: 25
Provinces: 5
Kilometres driven: around 7000 (someone in the US can do the miles math)
Show's played: 17
Favourite show: I can't decide - they're all awesome.
Favourite audience: I've had some amazing audiences so far, but I think I have to go with Moose Jaw, just because Curtis and Leslie from there came to see me play in Edmonton and Vancouver! That's dedication!
Near death experiences: a couple
Times laundry done: twice
Magazines bought, read, and left behind: 2
Audio books listened to: one (the Shipping News) - although I just bought some Sherlock Holmes ones
Animals who have licked me: 5 (1 lizard, 1 cow, several dogs)
Giant things I've seen: (besides the Rockies) - Loonie, Nickel, Moose, Goose (or geese in Wawa), and several teepee's
Prizes: two jackets (Thunder Bay), several CDs from artists played with (AA soundsystem, Big Wheel & The Spokes), t-shirts from Sault Ste. Marie, one 12-string guitar (Vancouver)
Parking tickets: one in Winnipeg (but beaten!)
Speeding tickets: none (um... not that I've been speeding...)
Hotels stayed at: one (Wawa)
Hotels paid for: none
Car problems: NONE - thanks, Rent-A-Wreck!
It's been a great tour so far! Thanks for everyone who's following along. Hope to see you all soon!
Best,
David
