So we did it - the stupidest thing any human can do...but remember we're not really humans, we're musicians - we crossed Canada...almost all of it...in the winter and the spring!
From Peterborough, ON to Victoria, BC and all the way up to Dawson, YT....and then, as if that wasn't enough already...we made tracks to North Sydney in Nova Scotia to jump on the ferry to Port-Aux-Basque in Newfoundland so we could drive all the way to St. John's and then home again.
Mere days after Steve's foot was maimed by rock and roll & frostbite, The Burning Hell's newest member Jenny M (aka "Sparkle") dropped a log on her foot in Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia. We decided it was probably best just to ignore it and drink beer instead. This was not smart. The above photo was taken two days later in Charlottetown.
If there are any podiatrist fans out there, can you give us some advice? How can we use our feet properly and treat them well, without sacrificing our notorious folk-rock lifestyle?
Through a combination of sleep deprivation and my own abject stupidity, a late-night call of nature ended up with my being locked out on Sunday night in only an undershirt, (thankfully) jeans and socks for about 40 minutes of Montreal winter. Many thanks to Guilhem's neighbour Sylvie for saving me - and for giving me a coffee and a stool in the kitchen.
Mental note - many doors will close and lock automatically behind you. Ouch.
