The Gods of Now On Tour – Day 2

Posted by Schrecker » 1 Comment »

Woke up. What is this place? Oh yeah, Sault Sainte Marie. Seemed much more desirable yesterday (actually earlier this morning). But still, the sun is shining and were leaving so life is back to normal. We’ll be back baby, don’t worry. TGON will take care of you!

We stop at a trading post. Cute girl behind the counter can’t sell me liquor. Funny, she looks 18 (19 in ONT years). She tells me with a smile that she’s 15. Yikes. I make the sign of the devil, buy the wine (Australian) and a small bottle of JD and a knife. Yeah! That’s rock and roll baby!

We pile back in with a mission…

To find a waterfall and submerge all this road dust and hatred. Come away clean. Rejuvenated. Not a tall order if you’re traveling the 17 on the top edge of Lake Gitchigoomie.

We stop at the Lake herself. But as serene and meditative as she is, she isn’t knocking us out like we want. And I lost my Paul Smith hat (and that’s my fear and loathing hat too! Fuck!). Anyway I know there’s something better coming…

We find it. A smashing waterfall. Better to see the pics. This was heaven for all of us. Not that morale was low. We’re all in great spirits. But we needed this – not just on this tour but in life. Each one jumped, each one climbed, each one stared in wonder. The water poured upon us. We were baptized into this tour. We’re ready to play both physically and mentally, but now, now we’re ready to play spiritually. The Goddess kissed The Gods Of Now passionately, sensually. We kind ‘a wanted it to be Anna but she was too busy jumping for her life.

We went looking for food in Wawa; the big Canadian Goose town. Everything is closed and there’s no people on the streets. Well, that’s not exactly true. There are cardboard people every 4 meters. They look like they were painted by children. It’s weird. Were going to eat at the Viking restaurant. We’ll see…

We ate. It was good. Peroggies and salad for Schrecker. Tastey. Alex made a chicken/hamburger by ordering two different sandwiches and smashing them together with a hammer and ketchup. Zasta had a hot chicken sand. Same with Jon.

On the way out Alex read on the side of the church.
“Without faith it is impossible to please god”. Schrecker disagreed. “Without pussy it’s impossible to please The Gods Of Now”. What the fuck – I kid cuz I love. Come on!

The rest of the ribbon skate from Wawa to T.Bay was tough on the eyes – enter darkness. Schrecker and Alex J.D. played the choice game/marry, kill, fuck. It passes the time in hilarious ways. “If you were a super hero and had to choose between two powers what would you choose? Noxious, killing farts or Acid Pee?” or “You name three people in which you’d have to marry, kill or fuck – in that order. In the back John and Zasta were watching “Shaun of the Dead”. It rocks to have the TV set up in the tour van. “It was entertaining” was Zasta’s verdict. He liked Adaptation with Nick Cage much more.

In T.Bay we asked Thunderian Bayers (it sounds so Star Wars that we kept the Schrecker proclaimed moniker for the T.Bay inhabitants) how to get to the Comfort Inn. Damn confusing road that Arthur. It starts on one side of town and goes around to the other in what they called a horseshoe. I know what a horse shoe is and baby, that ain’t no horseshoe. It does have about 15 names though.

Found the hotel. Home for the night. Time for sleep. Jon wears a towel on his head after his shower (you’ll see the vid once we get back home to MTL). It’s all so fucking surreal. Who did I make this deal with? Tomorrow I’m gonna own some of this shit I’ve been dealing with.
