Voting WIth Kathy and Jackie - Episode 1

Prairie Skies - The Drive to the Farm

My dad and Rowena had just been at the Farmer's Market in Winnipeg, and I had just played a show with Jann, I flew out from Nanaimo with Darcy. It was great to see everyone again. The band had drinks before the show, then Russ, Darcy, Maury and I had a bite to eat at Hues on First (shouldn't that have an apostrophe?).

Anyway...I had boxes from the farmer's market all around me, and my neighbours in the back seat were some flowers from the garden, I just had enough room to take photos out the window of the car, here is what I saw...

THE GOTH GIRLS - DOG WALKING

Winnipeg

Got to meet up with my friends when Jann played a show in Winnipeg.
Since I've been traveling I haven't seen them for a while. The gig
was not without stress, as Darcy and I BOTH lost luggage on our flight
from Nanaimo, and of coarse, they were the bags we NEEDED for the show.
Not only that, but Air Canada charged me $25 extra baggage fee, so they
could properly handle and loose my GUITAR! Money well spent...
I didn't get any good shots of Darcy because he was running around SO
much trying to get his gear (that only arrived an hour or so before
the show) to work!

Jars have to be sterilized by boiling them, 5 minutes if you are at sea level, which we ARE!!!
I think you add a minute for every 1000 feet above sea level you are...maybe...
good think I wasn't in charge...
