EDITORIAL: (Better early than never)
One of the great things about being an independent is that you have total control of your own destiny. That being said, total control of your own destiny also means that you have to do ALL of the work. As you can see by the above promo listing, I (as Corporate Cash Cow...) am in for a heavyass month. But, I am looking forward to discovering half of this great country of ours, re-connecting with some great friends and playing some "fuckin'" shows man!!! Yes I am excited. Yes I will have stories and pics when I get back. Yes this can be done.

Well Matty survived Vancouver. Unfortunatly, I was a little over tired from a series of events that occured before Matt's arrival. My sister's wedding was a 2 week long event. CRAZY!! Sorry for being such a lame hostest! I know you guys had fun anyways. I'm sure Whistler was a blast. I can't wait to hear all about it. At least you got to experience the end of the sun set while enjoying some Glacier Fresh Kokanee. :) Kit's Beach what a view. Enjoy the rest of your tour.
Peace,
P
