Man, I just love that big glowy thing at the Backstage Lounge. It's practically a reason to play there, just 'cause the pictures look so great.
It was a good show. We were on second, which is perfect... the crowd is at its peak when you finish. The place was pretty full, and we had lots of people up front, some sitting watching up close, others bopping around a little further back. (Vancouver is one of those cities where it's very difficult to get people to dance, so I take any dance-like motion as a compliment.)
Au4 closed the night; it's the fourth time I've seen them now, and I still enjoy it, much like I couldn't stop listening to the CD when I got it. They're also super nice and professional and easy to work with. You learn very quickly to appreciate and respect the other people who are serious about what they do. It makes things go so much smoother and that, in turn, makes it all much more fun.
The ARCTIC crew all stayed out ridiculously late after the show. I can't believe how functional I am today after only five hours or so of sleep. But I'm starting to run down now; this rock star needs an afternoon nap...
UPDATE: Want to know what you missed? Here are some live videos from the show.
