  1. Hmmm, makes me wonder.

    I got in less crap for stealing my parents' car and ripping out the power steering at 14 yrs of age than I did when I got busted for stealing a pack of gum at the age of 4.

    The worst had to be when I got suspended from school for drinking on a school trip. Even then they were more pissed about the school not taking a hard line with us than they were about the booze.

    I don't think my parents ever really got too mad at me...

  2. Hey all y'all,

    My brain is now stuffed back through my ears.

    Thanks Bouche for failing so completely in your duties ;-) - it made for really good times, but a really slow Sunday.

    Toronto crew - Great to meet you! FUCK YA (with the requisite kick)!!!!

    And remember.... We're just friends.

  3. Put together some well written petitions if you can pin-point a couple of critical issues.

    I think you'll find support from communities that would surprise you (i.e. the occasional soccer mom). Take it everywhere and talk to people.

    Once you've got a load of support - take it to city hall. Agitate agitate agitate.

    Put together some awareness raising shows - A "Bring the Music Back" day. Local bands playing a benefit show somewhere with high visibility...

  4. This is Esau's fault - he inspired me...

    I lived in Tofino for a couple of years. My last year there I lived with five other people in a house that should have been condemned. It had a great view of Clayoquot Sound though with an enclosed deck – sofas, hammocks and bbq set up on the deck.

    Anyhow, my buddy Mike used to come and crash while out surfing about twice a month. He’d show up, hang, do the dishes and surf. Everyone in the house was cool with the arrangement. He called me up near the end of summer to say he was coming out for the weekend. I told him it was no problem, that I’d be out partying with my house-mate for our shared birthday and to let himself in and/or come and find me.

    My birthday rolled around and my boss took me out for drinks after work. This turned into people throwing drinks and other people across tables at the local bar and general mayhem spilling into the street when the bar closed.

    I wasn’t done with the night so I walked home to get my bike and go looking for another party. There was nobody home at my place so I went down to the marina where I worked and borrowed a boat (which, btw, was more than enough to get my ass thrown in jail if I’d been caught). I zoomed across the harbour to a friend’s float-house where I was told to go home…

    By then I’d run out of gas so I went back to my place, left the boat on the beach at my house and stumbled to my bed. When I woke up I remembered the boat and ran down to try to get it back to the marina before it was noticed. While tying up the boat, my other house-mate came down to the docks yelling at me – “J! Go home, tell Mike to get out and clean up all the GODDAMNED SHIT!!!!â€. I was too hungover to know what he was talking about so I just left.

    By the time I got home though, I’d started thinking this over a bit and decided to investigate. I walked into the main floor bath room and saw shit everywhere – on the toilet seat, on the sink, on the taps, on the toilet tank, on the toilet handle, on the walls, on the floor – and on my house-mate’s towel (why he was sooo pissed).

    I woke up Mike and asked him who of his crew had done it (he had shown up with 8 friends in tow – they were littered across the floor and porch). He told me they’d come in, sat down to watch the harbour for a while. I’d come in and stumbled stupidly through the house and gone to bed. Then, each of them had individually gone to the bathroom and emerged silently to let the next “discover†the state of the bathroom.

    So, we had some mysterious person come into our house – shit all over the bathroom – clean up with a white towel – then leave.

    I still have no idea who did it.

  5. BC/DC rule.

    One of my favourite bar-crawling moments came watching one wasted-ass ski bum in full drag dancing himself into a coma at a BC/DC show at the Civic Hotel in Nelson.

    And holy-farkin-moly does that Brendan have a set of pipes.

  6. Not that I'm a big advocat of hers or anything, but...

    If you'd been hoodwinked into releasing that pile of crap then finally decided to do some work that was more reflective of your passions (I know this may be a bit of a stretch for some to let fly but let's roll with it for the sake of argument), wouldn't you want that abomination pulled?
