report from Lorenzo's




We have come to the midway point. Soon we will be heading out to the coast. Last night we had a show at a very unique place called Lorenzo's Cafe. It is just outside of a small town in BC called Enderby.

The building is an old one room school house converted into a venue/restaurant/apartment. The floor is made from old bowling lanes, there is a ladder you climb onto a closet, up another ladder out into the sky. It is a very cool place. You see so much of the same depressing infrastructure along the road that a new place is very refreshing.

The stage was even set into the ground, which created a really cool vibe. It is more like we are offering our music up to people, asking them to look in and take a listen as opposed to the typical, we are above the crowd, preaching our music down at them. I liked it.

Our stay in Kelowna was quite fun as well. The Minstrel Cafe was a very cool place. It was built around a giant tree that is from the settler's time. Perhaps not the best club for a full out rock show, but we had a good time and people were receptive which is most important. Big thanks to Kaitlyn for letting us stay at her place. That is her dog, Levon, above.

Time to throw my belongings back into a bag and get back onto the bus.
