it took 5 minutes to walk home from the lotus space on portland (that was a bit of a treat), show was interrupted by police/fire dept (with fire truck, which seemed to excite one young man at our table, he immediately rushed outside with his camera & tripod) : this message will self destruct, the gco (kind of a wannabe weezer, although they did something called "no one likes the plan", starting with about 10 seconds of lit like a monument, couldn't really tell if it was tribute or mockery, ditto the numerous covers -quite competent but it went on a little too long), the mackoids (the sidewalk slutz are probably still playing)...

quote of the night: "all my friends are outside drinking in the truck, yay for underage drinking" ... & if we weren't playing gin rummy at the back we certainly should have been...

So now the lotus has been shut down as well, from Dave at halifax locals:

The cops came a second time after the final band played, and gave "shitface" aka Cory a 430$ fine because the owner of the place wasn't there. They told him that in order for there to ever ever be a show there again, many renovations would have to be done, including building a rearf fire escape, instead of just a patio with no stair case that they were calling a fire escape. The long short of it is that Cory, who is only a wee lad at the age of 16 or maybe 17, has to pay a lot of money, and there will never ever be a show there again.
