Wasaga Beach, ON @ The Blue Motel
This was a giant fenced off party on Wasaga Beach, put on by Labatt Blue. The first half of the day was sunny and nice, we did some swimming, ate some shitty beach strip food and drank beer. There were girls with painted on shirts and bikini contests….another circus. Then it was time for music. So, it started pissing rain right before The Waking Eyes went onstage. It was raining sideways, so the stage crew had to quickly cover all the band’s gear. When it started to thunder and lightning, I was sure the show was going to get stopped….after all, we were going to be playing on a giant metal stage. After about an hour, only the hardcore fans were left. So standing in muddy sand and rain, they watched the show. About 5 minutes before we started, the rain stopped. We stood in the puddles and did our set. When we finished, it started raining again. Jackalope & Theory Of A Deadman played their sets in the rain as well…..the gods were smiling down on us. Later I heard Jackalope said on radio that it only stopped raining for them….that was a lie…a little white lie. -Adam.
