Let it snow!I live in Calgary, had a show in Innisfail (1.5 hours away). made it though, and had a great show!!! Funny though, the side walk was shoveled when I arrived, and when I left 3.5 hours later, I had to carry my rolling case through the snow as so much had built up I couldn't pull it through!:yuck:
I want to give my thanks to the guys in the black trucks who let me follow them both on the way up and back! You made the trip much easier.
Great show in any case!!!!:sing:
