THE MINATOUR - the long road home

THE END.

THE MINATOUR - day two, Sherbrooke, QC show photos - for real this time

THE MINATOUR - day two, Sherbrooke, QC show photos

Psych.

COLESLAW

COLESLAW.

THE MINATOUR - day 73

Off to Sherbrooke! No wait.. On to Sherbrooke! Uhh.

Touring sucks.

THE MINATOUR - day two

Woke up on a stranger's couch this morning. Again. I don't know how many strangers' couches we've woken upon this tour. Oh yeah, one.

Halfway through this grueling tour schedule into la Belle Provence and I've seen things I never thought I would in my life. Like Mike smiling and posing for a photo with a bunch of punks.








We were also visited by a ghost dog.








And I'm happy to announce that as of this morning, little Dennis has advanced into the pupa stage of his life cycle! Yay Dennis! They grow up so fast, don't they?

THE MINATOUR DAY ONE - the real end of day one

Goodnight Sweet Pea.

THE MINATOUR - end of day one

The best part about tour is meeting old friends.

THE MINATOUR - day one, hour five or something

You know it's gonna be a good show when the first band starts at 11. And they're blurry.

p.s. Does anyone else remember when the Siemens building was right beside the Cummings building on the 40 just west of Montreal? I do but none of the other guys do and it's pissing me off.

MINATOUR is back on!

Well it turns out if you shit and puke in a gas tank after eating a double down, your van will run.

Thanks, KFC!

THE MINATOUR IS OVER

We just spent all the gas money on double downs so the tour ends here. On a brighter note, Gary's vulgar language made a family leave the KFC.

THE MINATOUR - day one, hour one

We just pulled out of the jam space parking lot and I don't know how much more of this I can take. 35 straight seconds in the van with these guys is tiring. Who the fuck does Mike think he is, waiting until the van is in motion before buckling his seat belt? And Scotty still has yet to stop for food.

Touring has it's ups and downs and this is definitely one of the downs. Sometimes I wonder if it's even worth it anymore. Oh fuck the van is on fire.

THE MINATOUR - day zero

Stay tuned as BPGWN embarks on their first tour. Because two consecutive out of town dates counts as a tour.

Right?

Muthky

I don't know why I did this - but I did. Deal with it.

Rice & Rooney

Hey - if you haven't seen the posters around the city for Musky and Scotty's new play, here it is!! (and if you haven't, feel free to print this off and post it wherever)

Sounds Like...

As it is difficult to describe Biipiigwan's new album God's Hooks, I have tried to create some familiar analogies from which, hopefully our readers (3 people who are already in the band) can use to get a rough idea of the sound of "God's Hooks."

If Biipiigwan's new album God's Hooks was a(n) ____________ it would be __________.

Former Soviet Bloc Country; Bulgaria
Deciduous Plant; the Lady Fern
Chemical Element; Boron
SNL Cast Member; Dan Aykroyd
Industrial Age Contribution to Modern Technology; the Spinning Mule
Method of Mass Transportation; the Magnetic Leviathan (or Monorail)
Cat Belonging to Musky; Don Piano (I would have likely chosen the other cat, but I can't spell its name...)
Batman Villian; King Tut
Roman God; Mutunus Tutunus
Roman Emperor; Phillip the Arab (244-248 AD)
Carbonated Beverage; Diet Mr. Pib
Economic System; Feudilism
American President; William Howard Taft (1909-1913)
Non-Migratory Bird; the Great Tit
Non-Migratory Bird (woodland); the Blue Tit
Long-Winged Marine Bird; the Booby
Female Body Part; the Under-arm

So hopefully, the next time someone asks you, "Hey! - what does Biipiigwan sound like?" you can reply, "I don't know - fuck off."

GET WELL SOON, MIKE.
