I'm seriously trying to get some shows together out here in Courtenay, but it's like squeezing blood from a fucking stone. There are next to no local bands who aren't fucking bar stars or jazz bands. Not that I don't enjoy a jazz band, but I also want to put some all ages shows together, because punk is my lifeblood. I can't find any signs of local bands who are serious about a scene rather than their "careers", this town is so far out of the way no one comes out here while touring. I'm trying to get my alberta band buddies to come out here, but they're busy with their shit, trying to plan tours around their jobs, and it's a pain in the ass.
I dunno, I had higher expectations for this town. There's nothing here, even less so than Peace River. I'm earning minimum wage, deep in debt and my car keeps breaking down. My girlfriend is entertaining ideas that we'll go back to Ireland in the fall, but I don't even think I'll have the money then - even if I was completely on board with the idea. I haven't been to see a good live band play in months, and I can't stand it.
I'd like to form my own band but no one here seems to be into that. I'm going to try putting a stupid ad up - a really lame way to form a band, because you never know meeting someone at random is going to work.

I'm so fucking fed up with being stuck in this sterile, suburban nightmare of a town.
