More Pics from The Casino Gig..

I know its been like 2 weeks since, but we've been so busy it feels like yesterday....

While there's a lot of cool places to hear live music in Halifax, there are a few "rooms" that are sought after by musicians... They generally pay well, or are incredibly well attended or both...

While its not my music dream "Tri-fecto", there are a few venues in halifax I always wanted to play.... and I've now played 2 of them... (the Palace and the Casino)

Some of the others on my "goal list" include the Marque, the Fife and Drum, The Cohn, and the Metro Centre itself (ok, those last two might be a little lofty for me)

other venue's i've already played in Metro include (in no particular order)
-Copper Penny
-Big Leagues
-Seahorse Tavern
-Pogue Fado
-Pitchmens Pub
-Stayners
-North End Pub
-Bay Landing
-Timberlea Legion
-Shore Club (I guess thats technically not metro though is it??)
-Royal Nova Scotia yacht Club
-some little private club on the water, about 20 min past RNSYS

I think theres a coupkle more, but my brains still stuck in park...

so here's some pics from nite 3 of our Casino gig... I recorded it all, and will put some of it on my Myspace site


Where's captain Kirk when ya need em.... I love the 'toy's that we get to play with.. this stuff is FUN!!!!






some photographer dude was taking pics of us ... so we took some of him...

Hey... fair is fair..


"Ok, Where's the Limo"


As for my ultimate Music "tri-fecto" well.... If I ever had enuff guts to dive in to this music thing full time, there are "3" things I've always said I'd want to achieve before I could relax, and fell like I've "made it"
1. A Juno
2. your birthday announced on Entertainment Tonight (the US version, not just the Canadian spin off)
and
3. to be invited to Jam on Austin City Limits....


thats the pipe dream at least..... since I was 16 or 17...

for now, however, back to reality...

got a job to do, got a house to sell, got tires to change, (not to mention diapers) arrggg!!! At least the house is done now... Now I just got to clear the stuff I stored at my neighbors out and get it to the storage place.... .... ah.. F--k it.. it can wait another day... the couch is calling my name...

Hey Rob, You guys are more than welcome to store stuff in my garage. Its 400 sq ft so you can get a bit in there & we are only a few klicks up the street from your new digs. Carolyn & I did a drive by your new place last week..looks great. Let me know is you want the space for storage bud.

PS: the casino gig looked like alot of fun.

Cheers,
Steve McD
