04-06-25 BTO!
I had a great day. I got chores done. I went shopping and found outfits that I can choose from for the gala and also use for my cruise and I even bought the fanciest pair of crocs in town so that I have comfortable shiny shoes to go with my outfits as I still am not going to be able to wear heels and don’t want to have to wear runners
I came home and built a couple Mario Lego as I had to order some more wires to connect the lights on my BB eight as I struggled to get them connected and broke them
I stopped at Fenwick & baker and had a little food and visited with a couple from Fernie that were here for the concert as well before going to pick up Rhonda and heading to the arena.
The boxes basically at centralize so it was great to watch the show and as we were early, we got the front row seats.
First up was Headpins who of course I saw in the summer and they were actually better I think tonight
Next up was April Wine and they were as enjoyable as the last time I saw them
And then it was time for BTO with Tal Bachman and singer Lance Lapointe.
It’s funny after knowing both Randy and Tal in the past on Salt Spring Island to finally see them on the big stage. I have hung out with an introduced towel at dockside concerts back in 2008 2009. I’ve been in Randy’s house in studio back in the day although to be fair, he wasn’t there lol. It was an amazing round house and I worked for the company and I also knew his wife at the time very well. It seems surreal some days that this little river rat who grew up in the 70s has had the incredible privilege of knowing such talented and successful people. It was a great night all around and I’m super thankful to Dave for giving me the tickets. It’s only said that Jim couldn’t come because he’s still not feeling well but he did pick out a T-shirt from the picture I sent him and I will get that to him in the next day or two. Again, I am blessed by the people in my network to be able to call them friends.
