Ice on Whyte

So this week, I'm singing at Ice on Whyte, and yesterday was my first night singing. I got the adress, checked which buses tooks me there and went on my way. I took a 7 down to City Centre and took the LRT from there to the University. I knew I needed to take a 4 or a 6 to get me to 104th street. I ho on a 6.

It's dark, and the bus is really crowded, so i can't see any street signs. All I could tell was that the bus was going very south. South was bad. I got off the bus. I had no clue where I was, so I started walking till I could find a street sign. It was a little after 7, so I called Jack to tell him I'll be late, if I make it there at all. Afew minutes later, I realize I'm on 113th street and 67th ave. NOT where I wanted to be, so I turned around and started hiking back toward 82nd ave.

Fortunately, a 6 comes by, and I'm able to take it back to the university. I didn't want to take my chances with it going the wrong direction again, so from the university, I WALKED to 85th ave and 104th street. I also just missed 2 buses that would have taken me most of the way.

I finally got there around 8 o'clock. It had taken me 2 full hours to get there from my house. Needless to say, I wasn't looking forward to the adventure of finding my way back home. Fortunately, a very nice lady drove me home.

Let's hope things will go easier on Wednesday and Thursday.

Happy Christmas and Merry New Year!

Little late, but happy holidays anyway. I've been busy with stuff, and been hanging out in St. Albert a lot.
