Nash, Alex and I head west to Kingston. We have spent 5 days in Cornwall thanks to the hospitality of our friend Tom. It makes the gigs so much easier this far from home when someone else lets you use their place as a home base.

Tom is also a good promoter with a lot of fresh ideas for Nash. The gig at Pedro's was very successful and now Cornwall becomes a regular gig along with Ottawa, Montreal and Kingston.

In Kingston, we're back at The Toucan. This club has a wonderful vibe to it.

All the staff and patrons enjoy the music and the presentation. Everything is very easy-going, and Alex and Nash set up in record time.

We go out to find a motel room for the night (it's a 3 hour drive to Toronto) but there's no room at any motel in town.

It turns out that Kingston is hosting a large boating show and people are here from the USA and all across Canada.

Nash prepares for the late drive home by keeping away from alcohol and sticking to coffee and sugar.

Before showtime, we wander the waterfront admiring all the fancy yachts. There are other dogs everywhere with lots of grass space so I have a good romp.

I'm having such a good time I shit myself with laughter. Nash does his duty.

The crowd at The Toucan is always changing. Tonight they are younger, first-time Nash fans. They are not disappointed.

Nosferatu gets a huge response and the second set of Nash Thrash grinds them into submission.

We return home safely around 5:30 Sunday morning and we can't wait to take Nashferatu to the world.
