Velvet Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 nero @ The Silvertone, Vancouver, British Columbia I was excited to get to Van so I could see my old friend who lives there and works as a lawyer. We picked him up at work and went back to his place to chill before the show. Got to the bar and there was Caroline, our solo audience from Tofino! She walked out on her job in Victoria and came to Van for some more nero. Then there is Shane's grandmother! Seventy-nine years old and out for some beer and some grooves. Pretty good crowd out to hear nero rip it up for a coupla sets - some guys from the house band were there screaming their heads off. Tore down and while the guys were drinking I moseyed over to the two pinball machines in the corner. Gilligan's Island and (gasp) the new Star Wars machine! Couldn't get this couple off the Star Wars so I played the Gilligan. Nice thing about tour is finding pinball machines here and there. Oh yeah, and living and breathing rock and roll. Went back to Corey's place and I left the guys to sleep snore-free in the bus while I slept inside. The things I do for those boys... Quote of the Day: "The bar's on Commercial?!? Cool, it'll be full of potheads and lesbians, what time does it start?"

Northern Wish Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 Hey Velvet et al..... Give Nina and I a call as I see you are booked for a little East Coast run. We have been reading the nero logs and can't wait to see what 30+ shows have done for the boys. 506 693 5184 Peace Sean ps.

Velvet Posted June 9, 2002 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 I'm on it! It's a two day run, so I'll lots of flipper-time. I've found some great machines on this tour, but I always wonder what ones I'm not catching. Thanks for being on the lookout. See you soon.
