Wednesday's Events

Wednesday night started when Billy the Kid hit the stage and her raw voice hit the pickups of the mic. After a few songs and some banter dealing with her bassist's mustache; a revolutionary hit the stage and was one of the many highlights of the night. His name is Jared Paul and he has opened my eyes even more as to what is going on in the world today. He is a spoken word poet and a friend of many activist and artists. If you ever needed to hear what he has to say, now is the best time. Seriously.
Once Jared finished his set, Raine Maida was up, and it is unquestionably one of the greatest live shows I've ever been to. His wife, Chantal Kreviazuk had an amazing rendition of the Pixies' Where is my Mind? Her voice silenced the crowd as much as Jared's performance did: you could literally hear a pin drop in both instances. Back to Raine who was taken aback by the applause and support of the Montreal scene. He asked to take the crowd with him because of how great the applause and cheering was. I think this is because people from here know what is and is not relevant. We can filter out the bullshit and concentrate on what is real.
That entire night was truly inspiring and I urge you to look into anything that provokes your mind. I know I have. Look out for me.
