APB Vancouver Island tour - Nov. 23-29 2007




We hit the road one last time this year. A quick recap:

Nov. 23 - ADSS Theatre, Port Alberni BC - Nice gig and their culinary arts department didn't disappoint - another fine meal. A mill recently closed there and despite the hard times the town is facing the crowd was really into it.

Nov. 24 - Tidemark Theatre, Campbell River BC - A nice theatre - a sold out affair. It was Scooter's (our FOH guy) birthday. Aaron brought him up on stage and we ate cake.

Nov. 25 - Cowichan Theatre, Duncan BC - Another sellout - this is one of my favorite venues to play. Great crew and a very nice theatre.

Nov. 26 - Evergreen Theatre, Powell River BC - A beautiful part of the world. Nice gig once again.

Nov. 27 - Sechelt BC - I can't remember the name of theatre however this gig has an interesting story. The promoter could not justify doing this gig due to the expense - however a lady named Erin started a campaign on Facebook to get Aaron Pritchett to play at this venue. It was such a successful campaign that enough tickets were sold to make the gig feasible. Crazy crowd. Darren and I enjoyed our third Thai meal of the trip.

Nov. 28 - Port Theatre, Nanaimo BC - GREAT gig. My hometown (more or less). My Dad and Nana came to the gig as did my good pal Lee Worden and his Dad Marv and daughter Lily. The crew was great and the gig was another sell out. The old hometown rocked it.

Nov. 29 - Pit Pub at UBC, Vancouver BC - College crowd - a residual gig from the one we did at Thunderbird Stadium earlier this year. Good fun - and my last APB gig of the year as I am committed to another tour. Guitarist Jay Buettner picks up where I left off for the final APB gigs of the year.
