Here we are back in Belleville, hoping to play to the same appreciative, young audience that saw the show in September. Nash and I drop into Trenton to pick up our friend Ron who helped us get to Ottawa two weeks ago. The club has moved things around since the last time, and the set-up is not as ideal as before. The performance area is now in the front window, and Nash and Ron have to put up black cloth to block out the streetlamp shining throught the backdrop. While they're working on the set-up, I go around and visit all the patrons. Some of the same people are here as before, and I feel quite at home. The last time we were here, Nash had a disaster with the equipment and wasn't able to perform at full capacity. Tonight's show will be a lot better. After Nash and Ron have eaten dinner, we go out for our usual stroll. Downtown Belleville isn't very exciting for humans or dogs. It starts to rain, so we quickly head back to the comfort of the club. Nash wonders if the weather will affect the turnout. Nash performs the "Art Show" to a very small audience. It's unfortunate, but maybe this club hasn't got the audience Nash was hoping to cultivate. At the end of the evening, Nash and I sit and chat with Stephen, a long-time FM fan. FM is the name of a band Nash used to be in. Although he would prefer not to talk about the past, Nash will at least try to help FM fans get their facts right. American Bandages is not an FM album, Nash and Ben Mink are not the same person, and Nash doesn't know the whereabouts of one Cameron Hawkins. Digger |
