Tales From the Trip
Part 2



The Ironwood Stage & Grill
Calgary, Alberta

7 a.m. Sunday we left the sweet people and pace of Enderby and headed East to Calgary, towards our 8:30 show at The Ironwood. Beautiful sunny fall day through the Canadian Rockies, how bad could it be? It was Gawgeous!!

Sometimes I get panic attacks in the car, no lie, so we've long learned that I need a distraction for things to feel 'normal' again. So to prepare for a trip, I think about these things ahead of time. This time I was inspired! I brought along a smutty book to read aloud to 'my driver', my banjo, and a camera. (Now there's an image.) I would choose from these as the mood struck an we had a great time rollin' through the Rockies...

Steve was embarrassed to do such a touristy thing, and kept saying, 'C'mon... take
the *!&#@ picture!" as motorists sped by. Took me long 'cause I was laughing

Lake Louise
Beautiful Lake Louise. It is so crystal clear, that for all I know this picture could be upside down
Wonderful Lucie

Lovin' life!

Happy Girl.
I just *love* being on the road

Free Ass
Well, if the ol' career thing doesn't work out, we
can always move to Calgary and take up Karate




The Ironwood
This is the club we played at, The Ironwood. Beautiful venue, we hope to play there again. And not to suck up or anything ;) but we'd like to thank Josh Marantz, who took a chance on us and booked us into the Ironwood. Also, thanks to Lynne Thorimbert, Dan the bartender, Keith the cook, and Greg the soundman. Everyone treated us really well and we had a great time!
