I didn’t have any Chinese food while I was there, but I made up for it with other ethnic foods that are unavailable here in Ottawa.

And trust me, you wouldn’t want to have heard me singing…there’s a reason why I do it alone, or too quiet for other people to hear when they’re around.

It is appalling to me that people who are fully aware of the benefits of the YouTube viral mindset would terrorize individual site owners over creating a mood or benefitting an artist by allowing some air play (less than even a radio station might). In my day (cough cough cough) we would have probably found out where the bastards lived and publicly tormented them until they gave us back our rights.

BTW, I was up in Vancouver recently and WOW gas is ridiculous. But the awesome Chinese food was worth it. Siu long bao! Hmmmmmm.

Sounds like your breather was well worth it. Would love to have heard you bellowing from another car.

@loo — My voice started to get hoarse after singing so loudly, but it’s hard to stop singing when the right song comes on. I also tried to have the windows down, but the rush of air made my skin numb rather quickly. This probably protected other drivers from hearing me belt out the tunes.

@Maeko — Yeah, the gas prices are getting worse and worse. I was able to make it one way on a little over half a tank, which is still cheaper than a bus ticket.

@Darren — I have you to thank for introducing me to Ellen ten Damme. I think I have that version of Rain Roses lying around too, I’ll take a look for you. Let me know what you think of that music I gave you.

I had an awesome time. Keep a list of the movies you want to see, and we’ll save it for next time.

Last time when I drove up to Ottawa to your place I listened to the entire ETD album when I was on the 416 haha.. Summer Sun is my fav song to listen to on a mellow sunny day… There are two versions of rain roses and I want to hear the version that’s not on the album sooo badly but I can’t find it anywhere.. I haven’t heard that version in like 5 years and I’m sure you have it somewhere on your computer..

I hope you had a good time down here even though you were only hear for basically one day… hopefully next time you can stay longer… I’m so tired right now… take care and gl

I use to turn my music right down when i drove over the test paint-strips heading back on the 401 east. (i’d even slow down enough to stay in the right hand lane just to drive over them).

I hope you enjoyed your roadie, what a great weekend for it!

On a positive note though, enjoy your road trip! Long drives with music are so therapeutic.
