Faber Drive in Ottawa and Toronto

I spent the weekend working for Faber Drive. I went back to my roots as a guitar tech and tuned some guitars, changed some strings, and drank a lot of beer. I hadn't seen the guys in almost a year and it was awesome to meet up with them again and do a couple shows just like the old days. The band flew in from BC for the 2 shows so there wasn't much gear which is always nice. It was also really great not having to tour manage for a couple shows. As much as I enjoy it, its nice to give the old brain a break from the stress and impair it with alcohol...

We pulled a sweet prank on The Latency too. We made a bunch of bright signs that had rude (and hilarious) things on them, and we got a group of fans to help out and hold them in the crowd during their set. They didn't seem to get it at first until they saw us side stage laughing our asses off.

We had a day off on Saturday so we decided to take Faber Drive's new guitar player JP on a small tour of the city. It was his first time in T.O. so we took him to the Hard Rock Cafe, and the Eaton's Center at Young and Dundas, then went to Sneaky Dee's for some cheap pitchers.

I also met Murphy! He is Faber Drives new Tour Manager/Guitar Tech. There isn't much to say about him other than he is an awesome mother fu%&er! cheers Murphy!

Good times.
