Back in the saddle

So, here I am after a year or so, writing to you on my new iPhone. I’m about to head to Vancouver with Small Sins for a week of shows. I’ll try to write from the road, and take some pictures on the way.
I plan to do at least two as-it-happens breakfast blog posts complete [...]

Breakfast in Portland – Doug Fir Lounge

I figure it’s time I started talking breakfast over here at Breakfast With Steve. That’s right, I’m talking two eggs any style (scrambled, over easy, or medium poached depending on the day) some sort of fried meat or alternative, homefries, toast and coffee. It’s really the only way to start a kick-ass day of rockin’ [...]

Old Jingles and GPS

Scuba Maps is the best!
Scuba Maps is our nickname for Microsoft Streets and Trips 2007 with GPS Locator [DVD]
I don’t know how we got by before GPS navigation. The QEW was all blocked up, so we took a little detour through picturesque suburban Hamilton.
I’m really into old Jingles (pre globalization of advertising) When we used [...]

Welcome Back

Ok, so I woke up this morning and decided I was going to revisit this blog, and try to post in it every so often. A lot has changed in the year and a half since the last post. Ladies and Gentlemen signed to Astralwerks and, for legal reasons, changed our name to Small Sins. [...]

Vancouver, BC. i look hot

We are sitting in a TV studio in Vancouver waiting to play on some show. We all look pretty haggard, but this is nicely covered by makeup.
Had a nice relaxing evening in last night. I watched Dead Man with Johnny Depp. Pretty awesome. Gotta go

leaving Edmonton

I just had this crazy nightmare in the van. I was asleep in the van and I couldn’t wake up fully. I kept trying to hey peoples attention, but they thought I was just being funny. I tried to write “help! Call 911″ on a piece of paper but it just looked like gibberish. Tried [...]

swift current

Well, I guess last night wasn’t as bad as I made it out to be. Feet are warmer now. We headline in Calgary tonight. I know it’s not that big of a deal, but sometimes the little things make it or break it.

Regina

I’m sitting in the club watching silvie play. It’s rally cold and I feel miserable. I hope we can hey some sleep tonight. I can’t stand having cold feet. I guess sometimes touring is not all it’s cracked up to be. Todor and I are gonna do another ad for some beer comercial. I hope [...]

driving to t-bay

Sweet. This is my first post from the blackberry, which I should have had hooked up from day one. We played a pretty memorable gig last night in north bay. We expected to show up to a grumpy staff and play to 10 drunken locals. Fortunately, we were wrong.
I had some kicksass shepherd’s pie [...]
