Hamilton Sat May 22nd

What can I tell you of Hamilton? A lot of buildings built of brick. Spent 45 minutes searching for a postcard around the Corktown Tavern's surrounding area. No such luck. The only postcards located were for Canada, Ottawa and Ontario. Brings one to the conclusion that people in Hamilton imagine themselves somewhere else? The Subway sandwich place here is a brick house. In fact most of the retail outlets looked like old houses. Let's get on with the evening. We played 4th out of 5 bands; Malice, Evil Engine, Fink(all girls 5 piece awesome) and Snoozer. All the bands were young(19-22) but pretty darn good. The bar was having an all age weekend. I suppose because it was THE long weekend & most grownups were drinking elsewhere.The Corktown Tavern is a sloppy bar. When we arrived its patrons consisted of 70 year old men named Bob or Bill who coughed while smoking and sucking back $1.60 shit draft.The place filled up modestly, mostly young folks 16 + in age. We hit the stage around 11:30ish? I can't remember. It was our best stage show yet. I'm not sure how good we sounded but we put on a good show.Must have something to do with us winging Sweet Child 'O Mine when Jai had problems with an amp he had borrowed from "Malice". We all agreed we had a great time & once again drank any alcohol we could get our mits on til i dunno 7amish or so? We sold $150+ worth of merchandise but the gig only paid $23. Shitty but hey we made new friends & supporters! Since we couldn't find a postcard we got a void bus ticket, that just goes with our theory mentioned earlier "people in Hamilton imagine themselves somewhere Thank you Hamilton we had a fucking great time and we shall return!!
