Campfire party in Kananaskis
Thanks so much to Brooke, Corynn, and Fun Drunk Laura for hooking me up with a great night in Etherington (Kananaskis)!
It's currently May long weekend in Canada, the big Victoria Day weekend. This is the weekend that everyone goes camping! I can't afford to go camping these days, so I didn't plan anything. I was just gonna hang out here in Kensington/Sunnyside and chill, play music, and work.
Brooke suggested that I come to Etherington just for Friday night, as she and Cherine would return to Calgary on Saturday evening (Danny Michel performance). I didn't have to worry about fuel money, camping fees, or tent space! I had plenty of free Guinness from work, so it was meant to be! I brought some bananas, almonds, and rye bread for food and all was well!
Corynn and Laura picked me up after work on Friday and we three drove to Etherington. What a blast! There were 30 to 40 people around a big fire, and lots of musicians! Fitz was playing guitar and mandolin, and lots of cool original songs that are great for campfires. There was also a banjo, several djembe drums, more guitars, more mandolins... a cornicopia of music and musicians!
Lots of Newfies were in the crowd, too, which is totally fun! People from Newfoundland are fun. That's all I shall say about them!
We played loud and late into the night, we even attracted people from distant camping spots down the road. Some visiting dude was having himself a mushroom trip, and he was in love with my hair. He even tried to play with it. He also loved my guitar playing, but I can't recall which he loved more. I was a bit zipped myself, but I think Cherine will back me when I say I was averse to his affection. (Elbow nudge into Cherine's ribs). He later performed a strange candle ceremony for Corynn's birthday.
I was super concerned about lasting past midnight before passing out, but Brooke assured me that I lasted till 2 am, so that makes me happy. Brooke watched the sunrise, however. What a trooper!
I was sad to return to Calgary, as Kananaskis is so tits! But I am so grateful for the opportunity to camp and party in the mountains for the night, and I hope that everyone is enjoying their last night there!
