St. John's, Newfoundland, April 9-15
April 9-15
After a wonderful fruitful visit to Los Angeles, complete with live honeybird & 3Eg0 show @ Room 5 on La Brea and visits with marvelous fam & buddies, we were headed far east... to St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, which has actually only been part of Canada since 1949. Day one included a visit to Cape Spear, the farthest East of N.America. We even saw icebergs swooning by!
Though chilly, we visited some very pretty places with stark scenery like Flatrock, Signal Hill, Middle Cove, Quidi Vidi Lake, etc... plus played two very fun shows with 3Eg0 at the Rose & Thistle and at The Ship, with great local artists: Jill Porter, Maggie Meyer, the Mountains and the Trees, and Bird & Bear. Great local energies, thanks to Jenny, Philippe and the whole fab group of friends.
St. John's is a jumping town, with the highest concentration of bars in all of North America, and the Newfoundlanders sure know how to have a good time! People stay out late enjoying themselves, even when it's really really really really really really cold! Luckily it only snowed one morning (in April!) and was very windy when we visited the coast by Cape Spear (which I would like to mention, is the eastern most tip of North America!!). We also went to a show of two cool local bands at the Ship: the Idlers and the young heroes who put on a very exciting energetic show: Ye Yeti!
We're now over the clouds on a Continental Express flight back to Newark USA...
