Hello all,
Jay Spectre hailing from Cafe L'Innocent in Riviere-du-Loup, Quebec. We have just arrived from a whirlwind of travelling, shows and general mayhem. We are just about to sit down to dinner so I apologize in advance for keeping this fairly short. Between our last blog update and today we have gone all the way to Berwick, Nova Scotia and back.
Our show in Edmunston was everything we expected and more. We made a bunch of great friends last time and we were all looking forward to seeing them again. We pulled up to the cafe and after some friendly hellos were treated to some amazing pad thai. We played two sets to a nice crowd of Edmundston locals. Afterwards we went back to our friend Michelle's house for some beer and good conversation. She again kindly let us stay at her place, gave us beer and even laid out a spread of breakfast for us in the morning. A huge Jay Spectre thanks has to go out to her. We also have to thank Louise and Estelle from the Lotus Bleu and all the friendly staff who work there.
Our next show was in Sackville, New Brunswick and this also turned out to be a doozey. We were playing at the Bridge Street Cafe located in downtown Sackville. We were warmly received by all there, young and old, and made a bunch of great friends. We didn't have a place to stay so we just flat out asked if anyone would put us up. Luckily, a girl named Ally agreed to let us all stay at her apartment across the street. After the show we all went out to a local watering hole named Ducky's with a large mass of people from the cafe. We closed down the bar and headed back to Ally's place to party the rest of the night away. We made some great friends and are looking forward to going back again. Thanks to Ally for putting us up and putting up with us.
The next day we drove to Berwick, Nova Scotia and played at the Union Street Cafe. We were again treated to a great meal before starting a ripping three set show. Right before we started James was blown away by the surprise arrival of his friends Alex and Alicia. They are both Lindsay originals who just happened to be in the Maritimes. They provided most of the energy and dancing. They pretty much made the show.
Well that's about it for now. I've just received a ham and cheese crepe that looks fantabulous and it needs my undying attention. Until the next blog.
