cherry pickin' tourbite
life IS a bowl of cherries.
oh my my my, life certainly just got sweeter. i am writing from the winnipeg railway station, where we're snug-up and connected (world-wide-web-wise) with just enough time for our friendly staff to turnover, before hopping back aboard our temporary superhome: via rail's The Canadian. sure, i had great expectations of the western journey on rails, but this has far exceeded any rose-coloured filters i may have slid onto my little daydreams of such an affair. incredible. sarah and i are in our glory. from the moment we stacked our excess baggage up into our spacey section, we've been entertained, caffeinated and full-bellied (with divine cab-cooked meals from the train's chef, carmel - who we love). the staff, who are mysteriously fabulous (surely they're up to something...they can't all be this sweet) have gone out of their way to accommodate us (with simles on), and spread the word of our upcoming performances onboard. we've already performed twice, to batches of our new friends, some who we'll be sharing the second leg of the journey to saskatoon with....s'lovely.
we're mustering up some videoblogs, to best capture this epic tour of ours - in bite sized portions - so stay tuned. sarah, jacquie b and i will be blogging away in word along the road, as well...so you can keep up to speed with the view from all angles on all of our sites...here are the links:

all of our shows, press clippings (as they come in...the buzz is spreading!), links and friend postings are sitting pretty on our facebook event here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=208898434284&ref=ts
make sure to sneak a peek - we're playing over 35 shows across western canada and the u.s. over the next month and a half (newbies have been added!), so we just may be rolling into your town before you know it! and if the first leg is any indication of how small the world is, surely you have a friend/family member/ex-lover along the way to send to our shows!!
