ROAR TOUR: Sydney, NS June 7-8 2008





This morning we drove from Truro to Sydney and set up in the gym of a beautiful United church building. Everything went pretty smooth. We found a set of old school colored lights that ran across the front of the entire stage, which we considered turning on, but voted against it since it's awesomeness might be too distracting. Chelsea sounded great and we had a lot of fun. I think we played 6 or 7 off of the new album tonight. And thanks to Emily for more choice pictures.
While in Cape Breton we also got to play at an event called Prayer of Hope the following night held at the Membertou Trade and Convention Center. A lot of people came out to get together and pray for Cape Breton. It went very well. When we played Deanna go to share about Compassion Canada and I think we saw the most kids sponsored on this night than any other - 19 kids in one night! Chooooice.
After the event was done we packed up and made our way over to the NFLD ferry... which we missed. Apparently we were about 15 minutes late and now it was too full. Thankfully we didn't have a gig booked the next day, so we caught it the next morning, drove all day and half the night, got a hotel, and then drove some more until we reached Victoria. Oh and we saw one moose, which was far away. More on Victoria soon!
