Wide Mouth Mason

I have so many stories that I could tell from these shows. Some stories remain only in my head, some of them have been recorded by video footage, or photos, or long, winding written entries from my teen years and beyond (all properly dated and labelled on my hard drive, tyvm). I used to have a dedicated fan website - myoldself.net, if you were tooling around in the early 2000s.

Beyond the shows I could attend, there are stories about the ones that got away. The Super Bowl party for 18+ at the Wpg Convention Centre - my mom bussed with me downtown so I could listen from downstairs. The Stew CD release party at the Zoo in July '00 - again, just a tad too young to legally attend, and not yet (nor ever) savvy enough to locate a reasonable fake ID. The U of M in autumn '04 - the show my friend videotaped so I could watch when I returned to the city.

Hilarious photo shoot in my bedroom, late '99. Stew wasn't even released until the next summer.

And beyond the shows and the non-shows, there's the before, the after and the everything else. The lifelong friendships born out of staking out front and centre. The roadtrips. The excitement to the point of having difficulty eating and sleeping. The nicknames, the inside jokes, the solo shows, the side projects, the substitutes. The home-made shirts, the signs, the art projects. It was ALWAYS worth the drive.
