// "Good Show Ed"

Tonight was my first BNL concert, and I have offically seen my two favourite bands live, which is a huge accomplishment. I had a wicked awesome good time, and I brought Sam along with me. Ed Robertson, Jim Creeggan, and Kevin Hearn came out after the show, even though the security guard said the band won't be doing autographs. Tyler or Steve didn't come up, which was a disapointment, but still, holy crap! I got to meet 60% of the Barenaked Ladies! It seems like a small number, but 3/5 people is 60%

Sam and I got there a little late so we had to stand in the back, so we couldn't even see Kevin or Tyler. At least we could see Steve, Ed, and Jim! They song a lot of songs I didn't even know, and they were incredibly funny! I honestly don't know a band that has that much fun up on the stage!

One song they were singing was the roadrunner song! I didn't know they could do that but still it was wicked awesome! During the chorus one of the guys usually did the 'meep meep!' sound the roadrunner does, and once, Tyler yells out "MOTHER F***ING MEEP!" It was Hilarious! I laughed so hard! They were seeing how far away people came from and one guy was from Germany. One of the guys was like "wow, that's like just up past 100 Mile house!" and then somebody yells out they want to hear Jingle Bells, and Steve says "Wow, we have somebody coming all the way from Jingle Bells!"

For one of the songs, Jim came up to sing so he traded his Double Bass with Ed's acoustic, and Ed couldn't play the double Bass! Again! Incredibly funny! These guys were more about making us laugh then playing songs tonight!

I was talking to Kevin, and I really like his music, and I told him even though the band's front main guys are Ed and Steve, I really think he plays a huge role in the band, and he has really awesome music. He was very gratefull for what I sayed, and he even said 'thanks, that's really encouraging'

Wow... that made my night. If somebody can do that to popular band member, imagine what words we could say to just are fellow friends to boost their day...



Thanks guys! Loved the show!
