so, some time a week or so ago, i wandered around town with my friend kim. we discussed life and things, and i mentioned the ecma's. i lamented missing them last year in new brunswick, and wished for the opportunity to go this year.

problem is, the location THIS time around is corner brook.

yes. newfoundland.

not that far, in perspective, but still not that easy to get to.

well. all i had to say was newfoundland, and kim was all over us going. it took about 2 seconds for me to be convinced.

 

we couldn't afford to stay in a hotel, so we tried a bunch of couch surfers. everyone was either full, or traveling themselves.

 

we figured for transportation, we'd take the ecma "fest" bus. it was about $250 both ways, ferry included for one person. not too bad when compared to flying, which was over $500 for one person, and the trip back saw you flying to toronto with a lay over, then halifax, then finally p.e.i.

but we still didn't have a place to stay!

 

monday night, everything fell into place. my friend, omar, came through for us out of the blue. he messaged me mentioning his mother lives in corner brook, and that she is quite friendly. as soon as we got word that she would allow kim & i to disrupt her life for 4 or 5 days, we bought our bus ticket.

 

weds afternoon, we were on our way.
