The Dust - Part 1

I have finally made a point to come back to my blogg and something!

The Dust - Part 1

Boutie meets Strange Bargain

The story begins on a Tuesday night in April 1999, in London, Ontario at Fanshawe College. I was going to the last pub of the year at Fanshawe Student Union. As a member of the FSU Entertainment Committe, I arrived early to help with set up.

I thought I was alone, but found some other girls from the committee. Everything had already been set up so, there wasn't much for us to do.

It was the Roger's Indie Pub. It was being filmed to be aired at a later date on Roger's cable TV (which by the way I still have not seen). The deal was that you could win a chance to introduce one of the bands.

This was the last pub of the year. It wasn't surprising when only 50 or so people showed up. The perk to being at this pub was that your chances of being selected to introduce one of the bands, was pretty good.

One of the girls that I had met up with that night was very excited to introduce the first band...STRANGE BARGAIN. She was going nuts over the guitar player, who had already removed his shirt. Anything to get the chicks!

After their set the band came and sat with the 3 of us. The girls were very excited to hang out with these hot musicians!

For the first time I officially met, Big Finger, Shogun and Magnus. Other wise known as Matt, Ben and John. All three of them were very funny. We instantly clicked. I was a tad embarassed by the other 2 girls. I was having fun with meeting some really cool new people. The girls were more interested in getting into their pants. (Yes boys, it's true, anyone of you could have ended up with either of those girls that night.)

We all sat there for pretty much the rest of the night, until Matt had to break up the party, because he had to go to work. He was working nights at Loblaws at the time. And come to think of it, he still is. (It's ok Matt I still love you!)

Before they left they told us that they were playing a show that Thursday at the Whippet Lounge.
