Jimmy Jazz

howdy folks.

Just a quick post then i'm off the the WLU Athletic Complex to soundcheck for tonight's show. A few months ago Sean Campbell contacted us. He was wondering if we would be willing to donate our services to a fundraising event for Free the Children. Being the diligent and good natured citizens that we try to be we said - yes of course! So tonight Vacuity teams up with Scott Hammell - world famous escape artist - and Marc Kielburger - executive director of Free the Children. Tickets are a mere $10 and the money goes to a great cause.

Big thanks to Tim for having us back at Jimmy Jazz last night. Massive shout out to our good friends in The Dunes. Thank you for sharing the stage with us. Guelph - we love you. See you again soon!

(The Dunes and Vacuity - thanks for the picture skills Cassie)

Tonight. Duel projection, big sound, big room, big cause. Then it is time to pack and head north.

Big thanks to everyone who made it out to the boathouse tonight. It was excellent to see you all out and we certainly do appreciate you listening to us play our songs. With the exception of those of you I will see in Guelph tomorrow night, I bid you farewell. I hope to see you all at the El Mocambo on May 23rd. In fact, if you're there that night I'd like to sample some audience claps for a song we've been doing called 'Got You'. If you've seen us in the last 8 months you've probably heard the song.

(day one of the tour and we're pushing the bus. is this a sign of things to come or are we just working the kinks out?)

In perfect Vacuity fashion (there are rumours of a curse) Atlas (our tour bus) stalled after we arrived at The Boathouse tonight. We initially thought the alternator was broken, but it turned out to simply be a faulty wire. Let me reintroduce Schmitty - also known as 'Ground Control'. Paul telephoned him at work and within minutes he was on the scene and able to repair Atlas. What would we do without you Schmitty? Truly, I do not know. Thanks x1000000.

Last thing - whomever that loud, obnoxious laughing man was - shame on you. I would hope a gentleman your age would have better manners. I am glad that you are having a good time but please have some consideration for the people around you - not to mention the band spilling their collective guts before your eyes...

peace.

TIME OF DEATH: 7:39AM

Time was starting to become a bit spurious for a while there… and now I think we’re all starting to feel it sink in. The countdown is on (like always) down to the last min… though we are definitely more prepared this time around, problems do occasionally arise… (well a bit more than occasionally). However we have been confirming up some last minute dates and getting a little ahead on the bus work… So only one week left till we set sail on our second endeavor across this fair but massive land and I haven’t even thought about doing laundry yet or coming to the realization that I will be spending the next 7 weeks with a whole lot of Man B.O and hitting up a stupid amount of 7-Elevens.

We have been touching up on some older tunes… they're starting to sound fairly decent... I’m impressed. Also, finishing up on some new songs and their structures all while trying to promote as much as possible. Saying that, Boathouse tomorrow night… March 19^th … we are getting excited to kick this thang off… we'd love to have you out and maybe we can squeeze in some new ones.

Thanks.

Kill the Format Spring Tour 09’

… wish us luck!
