The two of us didn't have a lot planned for the day so things definitely felt more relaxed. I got a hold of Tanya Davis and we finally set a time to do our interview. I headed downtown to Nicky Z's where the PEI stage was being hosted. Tanya was there to here one of her friend's bands, who's name I forget, but I know they were awesome. We went into the green room and did our interview right after. Tanya really opened up and I had a great time talking to her. You can listen to the interview here. I ran into my old roommate Kent at the PEI stage as well and we made plans to meet up at the Two Hours Traffic show later that night.
Desperately in need of coffee Xandi took off to get some joe while I talked to a few other bands. Once we met back up we took off to Vanessa's house for dinner. Vanessa made Xandi some pasta while I ate a super-large Greek salad that I had. I started to hit the coffee and energy drinks in preparation for my last night at the ECMAs. A bunch of people came over and we all listened to the new Rebekah Higgs CD and danced around. After talking for awhile Xandi and I took off to the Back Nine for the NS stage where Jill Barber and Joel Plaskett were playing. Too bad that was the place to be, because by 9:15 it was already packed. We tried to go through the back entrance and even wait at the stage door but had no luck. I got pissed-off at the bouncer but that only made things worse.
Xandi and I decided to head over to the Crowne Plaza to see Down with the Butterfly play.
Once DWB was done playing Xandi and I took off back downtown to the PEI stage. Once again this venue was just as packed as the Back Nine and it looked like we weren't going to get in to see Two Hours Traffic or my friends. Luckily I knew where the band entrance was and we just followed a few people in. I ran into Tanya again and then I headed upstairs to see the band. I ran into my old roommates Kent and Pat. Xandi and I danced with them all night and it felt just like old times back in first year when THT would room with us. In-line with just about everything else that week I made a girl swear allegiance to my mustache before I finally took off for the evening.
Spending the last night listentining to a great band with a few of my closest friends was the prefect way to end my stay at the ECMAs.
