yeah, that was a blast. I'd do that trip again anytime. I love Ottawa, I spent a lot of time there as a kid and it feels good and right to be back. I'm not looking to really move from Hamilton but if I were, Ottawa would be near the top of my list. Not least because of the nice people there. It was great to meet some new faces, people I feel like I know a little from here but have never met. Thank you to those who just walked up and said hello, despite my daily obnoxious ramblings on here, I can be quite shy sometimes. Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome and especially Booche for inviting me into his home so I could witness him running around and yelling a lot, as I presume is par for the course. Also, thanks for getting me there and back so safely edger. Next time we'll have to find some time to explore Ottawa a little bit a'ight? The key words there are "next time". The Fat Cats played a solid set despite some static on the equipment end. Those boys have heart and soul, and no end of good tunes, and I was proud to share them with my friends in Ottawa. I'll try to encourage them to do it again sooner than later. Mavericks was a nice place. Good sightlines, decent sound and the bar staff was cool. It was great to drop in and experience life as the Ottawa skanks see it for a night. MarcO happy.
