Welcome to early Winter. The season caught us with our proverbial pants down, by which we mean our all season tires. On the bright side, it’s amazing what you can accomplish when there is no reasonable expectation of going anywhere. So, thanks for that, treacherous road conditions. Supporters of our Patreon will find photographic evidence of the one and only show we got out to this month, but it was a doozy.
Also, if you haven’t already picked up on it from the ridiculous number of posts we’ve made, we’re getting down to the wire on our Golden Ticket! We’re sending one lucky winner to all the best festivals in Atlantic Canada.

So here’s everything that happened in August 2018.
Folks, we are tired, and sweaty, and lightly covered in glitter. Festival season is relentless. There are no days off, and no nights off either. Weekends are a gruelling seven-day grind, full of the unnatural sounds of whooping crowds and sirens. You’d imagine the final days of the apocalypse were upon us if not for all the dayglo decor.
