Best and worst

Canada's blog

I think my best TWS moment was when I had back stage to the (1st) final TWS show at the Vogue. The energy and emotion was unbelievable and they "let me in" to experience that with them. I will never forget standing on that stage looking out at the crowd as the boys just let it rip! Charlie put me on as his "drum tech", so I was there from load in to load out. Unfortunately, I almost got arrested in the parking lot (somebody was smoking pot near me....haha) immediately following the show so I missed the actual loading of the gear. John McConnell was ready to kill me as he had instructed me to be there to load the gear as that was part of my "job". Sorry Johnny! Awesome show and the end of a great run. I don't think they ever really achived that type of chemistry with the exception of the first reunion show at Pierre's, since then.

My worst TWS/CSB moment was probably when I got on stage at the CSB New Year's show at Zanie's Too. I don't remember it really, but Ive heard it on dvd and I suck. It was during Blanket Inside and I thought we needed a little more "ooh!ooh!ooh!". So much for respect huh! I felt terrible and apologized to Chris as soon as I saw him next. He handled it extremely well as we all know he doesn't really care for that kind of thing. I am sorry my worst moment was about me, but I really don't think I have a bad memory of either band. Thanks for the blog 1da!!!

Welcome to the CSB blog

Some chatter on the Archive board about starting a blog piqued my interest, so I set this thing up. We'll see if it gets any action.

I'll start with an interesting question: (My answers below)

1. What's your greatest TWS/CSB experience?

2. What's the biggest fuck up moment of TWS/CSB you've experienced?


1da Answers:

1. a(Tie-is that legal?)-TWS rocking Here I Go at Pierre's in Ft. Wayne on the 1st reunion. Unfreakingbelievable.....I think I had guessed working as the opener, Here I Go was poetic...Vowed I'd never do this again, but here I go........A wonderful (or is that 1daful??) moment of recapturing some of the best feelings from the old days for us fans, and for the band. I was able to be in the room upstairs before the show, and they were stoked.

1. b(wifey would say this should be 1. a) Shaffer at Zanies Too. Shaffer solo dedicated When I'm with you to me and Holly shortly after we were engaged. The cool part is that I taped it, and we used it at the wedding as our first song. Gay???? Probably.... Cool???? I thought so.

2 Too many to list, but I'll pick one-TWS at House of Blues-Shaf totally shitfaced trying to get the band to play Yoshimi. Brutal!!!!! It was a sour note on an otherwise fun night.
