[Redliner]

I played with a band called Full Circle on the Calgary club scene for a few years and we were actually booked to open for Rhymes With Orange when they came to town in the spring of 99, but our bass player ditched last minute because his cousin decided on super short notice to get married that weekend and we couldn't do the gig. Later that fall we were supposed to record a demo and send it to Randy Bachman, and again our bass player flaked out, this time quitting the band and blaming us for his drug problem. The band never really had the same chemistry after he left and we ended up calling it quits for good in late 2000. I guess I just wasn't meant to be a rock star.

We did manage to share the stage with Trooper, Kim Mitchell, and Zuckerbaby, and I got to meet a tonne of cool people. Jann Arden, Our Lady Peace, Moxy Fruvous, (before Jian Ghomeshi was a perverted ######) The Waltons, Barenaked Ladies, Sloan, and Spirit of the West. I hung out with Great Big Sea one time before their show in Lethbridge, and man can those guys party.
