Tour Diary - Week 4
Hey all. Thanks for coming back for more.
Well, things have been pretty crazy the last few weeks. As Im sure most of you have heard, the band got into a car accident in Prince Edward Island, Canada. We were there for a big outdoor show on Canada Day, (July 1st), and right when we arrived into town, the action started. Heres what happened:
We arrived at the airport, after a long day of flying, on June 31st. So, we all piled into a 12 passenger cargo van. Obviously, not thinking that it would make any difference, I jumped into the very back seat of the van with Brad jumping in beside me. A few minutes go by, as were heading down a single lane highway from the airport to the hotel. Ironically enough, Im listening to a comedy skit on my iPod called, Car Accident by one of my favourite comedians, Dane Cook. We come to a stop at a red light in the middle of the highway. Kind of a strange place for a light if you ask me.Seconds later, completely out of the blue, still stopped at the red light, we get smashed from behind, by a minivan. It totally caught us off guard. No brakes squawking, no horns, no nothing. A couple seconds of complete silence go by, until Chris, our tour manager says, everyone okay? Thankfully everyone was relatively okay. I instantly felt my neck getting tired, and couldnt really move it. Brads leg and hip also got the worst of it, and actually it still hasnt gone away. Hes going to get a hip replacement soon Im sure. (just kidding).
