10/6/07 – Quincy Marie’s, Airdrie

Tonight was my last show in the Calgary area during this tour. It feels inaccurate to define this past week as part of my “tour”. It’s more like I’ve temporarily moved to Alberta and I’m just gigging. And I even get Thanksgiving Sunday and Monday off! That’s not nearly uncomfortable enough to validate my “Road Warrior” badge.

This cushy situation is coming to an end on Tuesday, when the real character-building mountain-driving begins.

All week I’ve been meaning to get a picture of this field of Wal-Mart cargo trucks; it is seriously acres and acres of 24-hour/day movement. This was my last chance and it proves that we need a new camera. How could I have let this photo opportunity pass me by? And not only should it depict the grotesquely large fleet of consumption transporters, but I actually had a clear shot of Big Foot. Well, I shouldn’t get ahead of myself. It MIGHT have been just a plain old werewolf… Either being equally as frightening as my intended subject matter.
