Velvet Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 nero @ Woody's Pub, Kananaskis, Alberta Kananaskis is three buildings, and they're all hotels. Literally three buildings, surrounded by mountains, one road in, one road out. They are expecting approximately 3000 RCMP here in a couple of weeks to protect the G8 dudes from legal protest. Who knows if our room was already bugged. This place was really nice though. You never know what to expect when you see the words "accommodation included" on the contract, and times like this you're pleasantly surprised to be in real-live-human-being hotel rooms, and not a 2x4 bunkbed storeroom condo. Add good food and lots o' beer to the equation and a good night is probably in store. It got a bit iffy when one of the hotel employees damn near burnt the hotel down, but we all remained composed, which dramatically beats the alternative, which would be decomposed, of course. Nice crowd of mainly local staff came out and the show was well appreciated, except by the hecklers at table #1 right beside the stage. These guys hated it and had no problem making it known. All was good, on three occasions people turned the main speaker towards them and heckled back. It was fun. One guy took a old-time-western-movie-tumble ass over teakettle down the wooden stairs at the end of the night, and like the rest of us, he was too drunk to really be concerned about it. Anyway, it was a good night of music, and very late at night we all went to bed. The second most annoying thing that happened the next morning was the accidental 9am wake up call that despite my frenzied phone dive, I missed. The most annoying thing that happened that morning was the phone call that woke me around 10am informing me that because terrorists bombed the World Trade Center the US government would be immediately requiring $1000US or they would cancel all our American dates. I explained the situation to the half-asleep room and Dave said something like, "Fuck George Bush, he should be shot." Great. As if these rooms aren't already bugged. I sent the check, we'll see if we get in. Quote of the Day: "When Jazzberry Ram comes, we'll need a real PA."
