“It’s a water-slide or nothing at all. I’m putting my foot down.” – Tyson, angrily, as we enter Moosejaw. Still not sure what he means. Friday, March 16, Moosejaw We leave Calgary early in the morning. It’s shame too because it seems the nice weather has finally caught up to us, and we have to miss Tubby Dog, AGAIN. We take our time driving and the Star Wars Marathon continues in the back seat with Anthony and I, well into “A New Hope.” “Darth Vader is a pussy” and “Princess Leia’s a babe” and other such things following brain-dead nerdy chuckles are uttered from only us and we get pestered looks from the rest of the boys. Our journey brings us to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, where, with the insistence of >> read more

“If I had to choose a white-person name from a list, it would be Batman. Batman Jones.” – Handsome Anthony in response to the question, “if you could pick a white-person name from a list, what would it be?” Wednesday, March 14, Edmonton On the tour so far, there have been two movie marathons.

“What’s happening? Why is there a giant cock on my arm?” – Handsome Anthony in regards to the new tatoo we gave him while he slept Tuesday, March 13, Calgary Driving day. We challenge the Salmo-Creston Highway 3 mountain pass today, in all it’s frozen, winter glory. This time of year it is not a road you want to dare, but you do it anyway. This is a rock and roll tour, not a road trip, remember? Before we begin the trek to Calgary, we head into Nelson to pick up Dan and Handsome Anthony at The Balls (Yup, that’s right) The weather is fine as can be, except for every internet database telling us the pass is supposed to be closed. We leave in hopes it will open by >> read more
