Atomic Tom Northeast Tour Day 2 - Toronto

Holy crap. we left at 6am and got to the venue at 7:30pm. Load in time. Damn. Customs gave us a little trouble. something about working for the bar, we sat there for 30 minutes while one dude asked us if we'd ever heard of Tori Amos (condescendingly of course). I don't get it why people automatically assume that other people are stupid. I guess some people feel the need to be "powerful". And when respect isn't earned, it's often demanded. But i digress.

Toronto is such a HUGE and beautiful city. We drove through a good bit of it and saw some amazing places. I wish we had stayed longer and checked the rest of it out. I haven't been since 2003. We ended up playing really late, but rocked it regardless. Eric took some really sweet pictures of us backstage, Phil slept on the stairs for an hour, k. rice and i went exploring for a bit.

My friend Justis is putting us up. His parents are amazing, treated us really well. One thing we're learning, there are a lot of really good, decent people who are totally willing to take care of you. And we're really thankful for that. Back on the road for yet another long drive tomorrow, and after the three hour sleep from boston, I'm looking forward to 6 hours or so before we head to Chicago. Stay tuned...
