I just uploaded the eighth Bad Metaphor which is about Camping this time. I blogged about it and now you can hear the story of camping at Point Wolfe in Fundy National Park. It was fun and the sounds give a bit more of a sense of the beauty of the place, even though it was raining. We recorded some sounds on location and recorded the linking parts in New Brunswick at my Mom and Dad's house after we were rained out of the park.
The slogan for Sappy Records is "Win or Lose with Sappy Records, Again & Again" and this weekend is definitely a winning one. It's been a bit overwhelming at times with the talent spilling out onto the streets of Sackville with a diverse range of music and art and wonderful people. I switched yesterday from 'transmit' to 'receive' to soak up all the amazing sun and talent, which is what I'm doing today as well. I'll have to share more of my experiences later since I don't want to miss anything.
Sitting in the Vogue Theatre before the show with the reunion of Eric's Trip at the end. It's a great, small old theatre which is a good place to end day one of my adventure here.
Night is falling and the final performance before the night show is about to start. Great shows and much more to come.
I'm in Sackville, New Brunswick at the Sappy Records festival. Things started with a great small set by Julie Doiron with some of her songs from her 'broken girl' albums. Then Al Tuck played a set. While I was buying a cd and t.shirt Julie said, 'buy that one too, it won a Juno.' Of course I bought it. It's a tiny bit wet outside, but lots of fun is only beginning.
On the way we've stopped at the Broadway Cafe for something to eat. After that we'll buy food for cooking outside and head to the park.
John and I head to the Point Wolfe Campground in Fundy National Park today for some camping and hiking. Now we're all set with a camp stove, high-tech lighter as well as our podcasting stuff. Lots to do and it should be a lot of fun. I'll write more from the campground from my phone. Now it's time to pack the car and get on the road!
