On the Road | Invermere
Invermere is a crazy little town...and when i say little, i mean it.....son...! We were welcome by friendly smiles great weather. We even put in some volleyball at the beach with the sweatshop crew.
So far, every night, I have had some great conversations with the folks who live in the area. The first night in invermere ( they need to change the name of this place to Vermere), I talked to a couple of young ladies who informed me they were fire fighters! I was all.. "NO WAY!!" and they were like " DUDE, WE JUMP OUT OF HELICOPTERS AND FIGHT FOREST FIRES!!" see....to me that is just plain cool! I love learning about people and how they live and what they do.
Earlier on this year when I came to Vancouver to help do Divine Browns record, some friends of mine told me about how you have to be cautious of these vicious cougar cats who hide in trees, then jump on you and rip open your jugular!..? see... when i go camping back in Ontario, our biggest concerns are raccoons and ...thats about it. But yall got grizzlies and cougars!!Crazy!
After Invermere we ended up in a spot called Golden B.C. Just before our performance I hear some one yell out "Byram!" I thought to myself..."No one in our touring group calls me by my government name.." I turn around to see the beautiful face of an old high school friend by the name of Seona Bradley. It had been like 7 years, but it was a pleasant surprise to say the least.
Later on that night I had a conversation with these next young ladies, and I asked them what their hobbies are and this little innocent girl says, "I love hunting and shooting cougars out of trees!".. i was like.. "Whhhhhaaaaat!!!?" shes like " Yeah dude! My dog chases em up trees and I shoot em and they drop like rocks". HAHAHAHAHA I love this place man, people are way more relaxed and seem to enjoy the simple things.
We are now on our way to Canmore Alberta!!! see yall there!!
Laterrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!
