earlier today at the Halifax Shopping Centre in Halifax Nova Scotia as part of the ECMA's.
i'm thinking there's too much of a vignette on this...i may re-edit and upload again later...
next up: chris kirby & the marquee.
i can't recall who, but someone told me i absolutely had to check out chris kirby's set. thankfully, i didn't have to go anywhere. this is another artist i had never heard of until this moment. if he is playing anywhere near me, you can bet that i'll be going!
he made my fingers itch for the piano again.
nominated for:
-male solo recording of the year for 'vampire hotel'
-recording of the year for 'vampire hotel'
-blues recording of the year for 'vampire hotel'
-R&B/soul single track recording of the year for 'come clean'

Say Fire and Sea Caves opened up for the Diamond Minds tonight down at Headquarters, it was a good show. The Diamond Minds are gone on the road for a few months now and doing some showcasing for the ECMAs. This was their last St. John's show until August, so I felt I should go.
Though I felt wrong going down there tonight since it entailed me missing the 3rd period (and resulting overtime period) of the habs game. I don't think I missed a habs game this season besides the end of this one. The habs lost in overtime against the Ottawa Senators, but it doesn't really matter since the habs are already guaranteed a playoff spot.
As usual the habs fans were louder than the Senators fans in Ottawa, Mike Cammalleri tied the game with 10 seconds left in the 3rd period and the stadium erupted with cheers even though it was not technically a home game for the habs in Ottawa. The superstitious part of me wonders if the outcome of the game would have been different if I had stayed home to watch it.

after the mariner ballroom we ran to the capri cabaret.
actually, no, that's a lie. after kim's set, i went to the hotel room while the others stayed at the ballroom for radio radio. a move i somewhat regret. i like to think i can push myself to keep going during these kinds of weekends, but i really needed to have 20 minutes to myself.
i took the chance to charge up batteries/empty memory cards, so i did put this break to good use.
as soon as that was done, i hopped on the ecma bus (which got stuck on the ice at the top of our motel's driveway!) and went to the capri cabaret.
i met up with the crew, plus craig norris.
thankfully, i got there just in time to see sherman downey take the stage.
i may have a slight crush. oh gosh.

the chandeliers in the schooner room where the songwriters circle was. i had a little bit of fun photographing them, but to the confusion of a few people around me, i'm sure.
they look like stars.
or maybe an out of focus flower. but i like stars better.
also for monthly scavenger hunt

this was on the way to the car after the show. we were parked in the parking garage at the casino.
which, as i'm sure you can imagine, is expensive.
but perhaps not as expensive as the parking ticket we likely would have gotten. there were "a few" parking tickets given out that weekend. thankfully we managed to NOT get one.
ALSO:
For six word story.
ALSO AGAIN:

After some great music at the EMCA's in Fredericton.
The walk always seems warmer and shorter after a number of beverages.

Not like it was going to be a good picture of Craig, but I'm sure it was going to be a good one of Kim! ;)
scrub brush?!
kim, shane, and myself were sitting on the sidelines at the after party. this well dressed, and seemingly important man, strolls up and chats with another guy standing in front of us. this snappy looking dude was holding a scrub brush. we were puzzled.
i kept taunting kim to grab it and run away. she looked almost tortured with inner debate.
it was kind of hilarious.

One of my favourite bands from Fredericton, the Olympic Symphonium.
They performed in the stairwell at one of my favourite music stores, Backstreet. On this day I was able to pick up a Forward Music Group cd (with tons of favourites like the Sleepless Nights, Grand Theft Bus, Share etc.), Tegan and Sara's "The Con" on vinyl and three posters: Kimya Dawson, the Weakerthans and the Immaculate Machine.
Good haul, if I say so myself.
