Up early without a hangover which was nice. Had a quick breakfast with Daniel Lukes and then made a quick visit to my brother who was in hospital as his Crohn's disease has flared up. Apart from looking like Christian Bale's character in the Machinist he seems to be alright, it was weird being his first visitor having come all the way from England!

Met up with the Cancer Bats who are always great to see. Their van had been broken into last night in Victoria and now two were without passports. And everyone always says how nice it is in British Columbia! Took them for the first part of the shoot to Scrape Records which I think Scott went broke buying a load of records afterwards... Finished off on Spanish Banks and lucked out with the perfect weather. Waited around at the sound check, left for a quick dinner with my mother and then returned to the venue to see the show which was great.

After the show wandered over to the Black Frog to finish the night where Donavon was spinning some records and surrounded by some of his friends. A few of them I must admit didn't have the best vibes but hey it's Vancouver they can't help themselves!!! Ended up at the Morrissey towards the end of the night and it was nice to see Mike Kruk as the new doorman!!! Put my clock ahead an hour and then passed out...
