Yesterday.
We got some Timmy’s in the morning, while Evan went to pick up some Hello Op CDs… After a Kenny Rogers mix up, we made the rounds picking up the guys, then headed north for Cobalt, ON. That drive might rank as the most eventful one on this tour.
One.
We stopped off in Bracebridge, where my brother and his family happen to live. His wife and her side of the family run the local KFC. I gave him a shout and inquired about some potential free chicken. Maybe a bucket? Nope. How about a bucket of chicken, sides, mozza sticks, and FOUR cakes… plus drinks? Yeah, free. Friggen rad. It was the best/worst thing to happen in a while. Delicious/free food seemed awesome at the time, but the KFC aftermath can be left unsaid. Thanks again to the Higgins/Black team for hooking us up. Big thanks to Stricko for eating all the fucking rectangle cakes. Ass-clown.
Two.
There were a few minor delays, detours, pee stops, etc… and we finally got cruising. At some point along the way, we were informed that ‘Take Me Away’, the current Hello Op single, made it to #1 on the Much on Demand ‘Daily 10′! Stoked! We want to keep it on top, so if you can help out by voting as much as you, do it up! (Drag Take Me Away & 3 other picks and click submit!)

Three.
We had some celebrations and such, buzzing about the video news, then someone *cough* GM *cough* made a point of enforcing that something bad was bound to happen. Then… Apparently free KFC + #1 video = getting pulled over by the cops. Some lady was pissed after she pulled a dick move with her kids in the car, during a merge situation, so she tried to sick the PO-lice on us. So, after a half-hour (plus) wait as they checked insurance and all of our ID, we were told to watch out for moose on the road and we are on our way again. Late for the show.
Four.
There was a show in Cobalt…? We ate some popcorn, I played a bit of tambourine, and then we packed up and went to the Husky for some eats/found the hotel in New Liskeard. We woke up early and caught the replay of yesterday’s MOD to see the band take the #1 spot. Sweet deals. We have a day-off and we’re staying here for another night. After Andrew, GM and I took a quick tour around today, and it doesn’t look like there is much happening. I think we’re going to the movies tonight.
Don’t walk on the boardwalk,
JAMES
PS We are not planting fucking trees! Spoon…
