Four wheels and five dudes...


Driving straight to P.E.I. was never really on my "bucket list" but hey, you only live once and you might as well try it... I actually can't wait to get out of the van and place my shoes down on Island soil. Charlottetown is a beautiful place. Full of houses you see on post cards that you get from relatives. You know what I'm talking about. Our first show of the Unity Tour was in Milton, Ontario and it proved to be another great small town show to add to the list of many that The Artist Life have had the pleasure of playing. We had the second night off because our bassist Chuck Leach got married! Congrats big guy! The wedding was amazing and I had the honor of being the best man to Mr. Leach. After driving for 9 hours yesterday we stopped in Quebec City and stayed with our friend Yannick. We also noticed as we were driving around Quebec looking for parking that our exhaust pipe had separated and cracked just past the engine. As if it's not ignorant enough already what with the lack of French in my vocabulary let alone the 3000db subwoofer that is our exhaust system blasting underneath us. Sorry Quebec... On a side not, I think it's funny that some people pay money to have their vehicles sound that way. Check out these sweet photos Dan Hand took of me repairing the exhaust in the Canadian Tire parking lot.







"C" clamps and a soup can. Who'd of thought soup cans were so versatile? But seriously what would a Punk Rock tour be without the breakdowns? It's 8:36 now and we're almost in Moncton. Only a couple hours and we'll be driving over the Confederation bridge that connects New Brunswick to Prince Edward Island. Can't wait to get playing again! All for now. See you at the show!
