Velvet Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 nero @ The Apollo, Thunder Bay, Ontario What a great spot to wake up. After a really nice sleep we were greeted with the prettiest lake you ever did see, and the boys were all happy that none of us had died from drinking the lake water the previous night (city kids!). It was a pretty long haul to Thunder Bay but we got there in plenty of time for the show. The Apollo is a nice little bar - a bit rough around the edges, but a good stage, great PA, and lots of live music. The crowd was medium sized for this show, and they were treated to without a doubt the best sounding show of the tour, and possibly one of the best played shows of the tour. I spent most of the night in conversation with a girl who said she specialized in disposing of dead bodies and she was looking to Frankenstien up the perfect man, with special emphasis on research into finding the perfect penis. Just my luck that we had to leave town right after the show on a fourteen hour journey to play North Bay the next night. The crowd absolutely loved nero, we sold a bunch of cd's and stuff, packed in a hurry and drove, with me taking the first shift with Dave on keepthedriverawake detail. I started the journey by explaining to Dave how moose will just run out in front of you, you don't see them coming and they're pretty much impossible to avoid. Then I parked him in a seatbeltless camping chair beside me. Gotta keep Dave awake somehow. We saw three moose in the six hour shift.
