May 25th re-cap

So a couple of fellows from the band Pure City, from Calgary, were in town and at a party and a guitar came out and they were really good and Shockk heard them and said you guys should play a show in town... but they couldn't find one, so Shockk called Super and next thing you know this happened:




On the 21 Tandem Repeats end it was Shawn Killaly, Christopher Johnson and Super R holding it down:



And then it was Jacey Gibb on stage to close the night with an expert curtain pull from Cody Klyne...  no hesitation... that's the kind of thing we like to see at the SRSS:



All and all a fine Super Robertson Supper Show... I wasn't sure how to prepare for the show seeing that you never know what might happen come playoff time in a hockey mad town should a game be scheduled on a SRSS night.

Strangely enough i did receive multiple emails from overzealous music fans all bent out of shape that hockey takes precedent over art and music. Boo fucking hoo eh!  The joy in music is playing music and as a result you need to pick your spots... I think anybody who plays music has all kind of opportunity to play music on their own time for their own enjoyment, as do people who like to listen to music.  If you like hockey, or jumping on bandwagons for that matter sometimes you have to get what you can while you can because playoff runs are often few and far between.  Sure the whole league is a corporate shill tank but last time i looked so was rock and roll, and the banking system, and the ministry of environment... in fact i can't think of anything human that rages with popularity that isn't driven by money.  I think that's why, in part, i feel great seeing my hometown team compete for the ultimate prize... it takes my mind off loathsome senate appointments and tragic agricultural legal defeats.  Not only that... i have loved hockey since i was born and this is actually the first time in my life that my home team has made it to the finals ( i moved to Vancouver the year of the last run to the finals, but in fairness i couldn't actually call myself a Vancouverite).  One thing I'm big on for some reason is cheering for your home team... I'm like a salmon that way... go back to your home stream or die.

Luckily NBC calls the shots with the NHL and given the population of hockey fans is greater on the east coast then the west coast the Games start @ 5:00PM... meaning some sucker who  paid top dollar to sit in a stadium for an event staged for TV has to skip off work early just to make it to the game... you didn't think you were important did you?  But barring long overtime there will be a Super Robertson Supper Show after the game.

This show will be run by Super R.

Win win eh!
