Rick helping out to construct the roof rack.
Into the early morning, Rick and I fabricated a roof rack, a simple skid-like system which clips on with four “u” clips.
Meanwhile the rest of the crew made ready the Portage Gallery and the Lemonaid Truck V.2.0.

By 5pm Saturday August 1st we left Toronto eager to make the tour a meaningful journey filled with delightful creative excess.
We slammed into The Spill in Peterborough at 7pm, way late but happy that nothing flew off the roof rack. With one of the owners praise – “Elaborate setup, I love it.” the traveling art show of Hell inspired art via Portage Gallery, projections which reminded me of forgotten Egyptian gods, propaganda paintings, a Zine Library, Lemonaid Truck v. 2.o. and lighting with a Terror Clown finesse transformed The Spill into perfect grounds for a Satanic ritual. (all in one hour!)

Patrick Walsh performed the Satanic ritual which gave us the proper aura to set out in our “flying canoe” with a huge orange box like thing strapped to its roof across eastern CANADA! The show was a slam, all the bands saturated the crowd with sounds of music. Making enough cash for gas we continued our journey towards the Enchanted Forest where we would rest before our next Tour stop at the AKA Autonomous Social Center in Kingston…
