T-Riley and Satori Ride

I’m all packed for Tofino and looking forward to some time away from the busy city. I had to run out today and get some red and green glow sticks because Dave doesn’t have any running lights on his boat! If we’re parked at night in open water we need red and green lights to indicate where we are to any other boat traffic. The glow stick idea is a good one if you don’t have power on your boat.

Normally before a big adventure one ought to get a good night’s sleep; however, I decided instead to go out to the Railway Club to listen to one of the bands who live in our building perform. I got there at 10 expecting them to be on stage soon but the first band was just getting started. I was cursing the late start but when the band began to play a mean set of ska and raggae music I considered myself lucky I got to watch them. The band’s called Satori Ride and they’re heaps of fun to watch. They don’t have a webpage or anything so I’ve no idea if or when they’ll play again.

T-Riley was the band I came to see and they were amazing! It’s fronted by Teresa Riley who I’ve heard play in our rehearsal space and she’s got a great voice. The style is diverse, which I like, and when the guitar player broke a string she A capella’d a song with only the saxaphone in the background to set the mood. After a few songs I was feeling quite tired (was up at 5am this morning) so I snuck out to go home. Now I’m going to get a few hours sleep before catching the first ferry out to Nanaimo tomorrow. I’ll bring my pillow so I can sleep on the ferry!

I’ll probably be out of touch until the weekend when I get back so I’ll talk to everyone then.
