Dreams and the Supernatural
Well, as of right now I am sitting in my apartment writing our final tour blog in rainy Vancouver. The feeling is very strange, finding myself pacing back and forth, a bit lost as to what to do with myself. The tour was amazing and fun and stressful, but it really gave the band a lot of clarity and also a little ego boost to know that we can actually travel together. The last leg of the tour was may favorite. Mordon, Kal's home town was really a blast. Good folks all around. Regina started out totally fucked up, if you were at that show, you know why. But turned out to be a total trip. So much fun. Thanks to Eoin from the Library Voices, so rad to hang out and get wild with you. Lethbridge we met up with Manchild and my plal Noah. Super fun. Then, our last show was in Calgary. It was a screwy show from the get go. Wanna know why? Ask me later. But it was amazing to share the stage with 20 centuries of Stoney Sleep, Key to the City and The Paperbacks. What a fun night. I'd like to give a big fuck you to you know who as well.
Thank you to everyone who helped us out, played with us, let us crash with and cleaned our disgusting hotel rooms. Also, they found our van and now we gotta get it from Toronto.
See you soon!
Love,
MINTO!!!!!!!
PS Thanks Henry for the great present. Your band rules! (Friendo fyi).

Van is gone but were truckin on! - October 29, 2009
Van is gone but were truckin on!
The Van got stolen in Toronto, but they didn't get the gear. Who ever has it I hope they enjoy the stench of my dirty road farts. We are working through it and rented a wreak. We had a great show in Toronto anyway. Thanks so much to The Wooden Sky who let us use there van for the evening and running errands to get us back on the road. Montreal was fun at Quai De Brumes thanks to John Colp for letting us use his gear. We got our guts busted eating some elvis style poutine. Ottawa was alright had an early show and meet some new friends in the Loon Choir and Dave Noris. We are playing with the Loon Choir again tonight at a house party in prescott should be sweet. New Van coming tomorrow in Peterbourough Thanks To Our Old Friend Jamie. THANK YOU THANK YOU Thank you! the last few days have been crazy, people have been so generous, and sympathitic to our shitty situation. It would Take more then a stolen van to keep minto off the road.
see ya soon
