Day 27: No More Knox

This was the last day for pre production in Knox church. It feels good too, kind of like we’re moving forward a bit. It’ll be nice to get out of that room too and be in The Hive where there’s more than one room to chill in. Nevertheless, the people at Knox have been extremely generous in letting us practice there everyday for free. So to all the people at the church - thank you very much!
When we got there this morning we played Tim the new lyrics for the song that we were working on the night before. We couldn’t really tell if he liked it or not…I think it’ll grow on him. I hope so because we all really like it. We also worked a bit more on this tune Dede wrote, kind of a lovey girl song but its choice. We defiantly need a few of those.
Lunchtime came and I had to go to the bank to do some band business. Tim drove Rob, Chris and I down to the area where the bank was, only to find that I wasn’t allowed to withdraw the money we needed. Looks like I need to call the Nish and get something faxed up. Probably some big important FBI document or something…whatever.
We went for food after that, a Japanese place that had a picture of Christopher Walker on the wall standing next to the owner. The picture said “Christopher Walker @ 1:10pm.” Maybe it’s just us, but it seemed a little random to have the time on the picture, and not even the date. “…This picture was taken at 1:10pm. We don’t know what day or year, but it was 1:10pm!” The food took a bit longer than we expected, so we got back to the church a bit late. Like an hour and a half late. We were still able to get a bit more work done on some of the tunes before calling it quits and saying goodbye to Knox Church for now.
The original plan for the evening was to all go to this place called The Korean Grill House a bit later after D Mac was finished at a football game. Chris and I planned on going home before this to get a little R and R. We knew there was a concert of the Fray going on at the Molson Amphitheatre, but figured that at 8:30pm we were too late and it wouldn’t be worth the money…until we were on the subway on our way home and decided that we should go anyway, without tickets, or even knowing if there were any available. After asking some girls on the bus for directions, following them, and a somewhat awkward moment as they stopped to go to the ladies room, we eventually found our destination and were able to buy some tickets for a decent price. We walked in and the Fray started about 2 minutes later. It was perfect. They have lots of good music…Mostly lovey kind of piano songs that you’d enjoy listening to with that special girl. In this case – it was just Chris and I. And that was fine, just not the same. There was one moment though during their hit single, ‘Look After You’ when we put our arms around each other and shared a moment. It was nice, I guess.
In the end the concert was awesome, and we still made it to the Korean Grill House and got to cook pieces of raw meat on your own individual burner. It’s a genius idea. After that, we realized there was only enough room in the car for 5 people, leaving Rob, Chris, Matt and I to fend for ourselves with 5 minutes before the last subway left. Don’t worry though. We made it home. Home safe. Home safe and sound. Home safe and sound and ready for bed. Goodnight.
