We got fucked with at the border hard, performers have to have certain paperwork before you cross the border. They detained us for about an hour, went through our merchandise, threw all of our stuff around a bit. They even went to our Myspace pages to see what we were up to.
Long story short they did NOT seize any of our CDs NOR did they fine us.
We did not get to perform the way we intended but we made an appearances and got to experience another great show.
I'm currently in Vancouver and the city is beautiful. Also there some really grimey spots to this city. I'm enjoying the tour rocking shows and making new friends and fans, when through several record shops. We're killing it out here, they love Hip Hop! And they love Houston, They're jamming UGK out here hard. I'm Home!
WATCH THIS VIDEO!!! EZEKIEL38 FALLS OFF THE STAGE IN HAMILTON, ONTARIO:
Yes I was laughing, but Ezekiel got to laugh at me when I slipped on some Ice and fell in a ditch on Christmas. (There is no footage of that, lol!!)
I'll post more pics and videos whenever I have a free moment.

In the Van To Vancouver
Aurora was incredible, I got to see some family which was a great after Christmas present. Just wait until you see the PHOT-O's.
We rocked that show, as we rock them all.
On a side note Spokane was canceled last night due to another nasty snow storm this time in the pacific northwest. We spent the night in snowy Missoula, Montana. We're currently on the way to Vancouver for our show tonight.
OLD MAN WINTER STOP ACTING LIKE A BITCH!!!!!!!
Had to vent, all is good, we are scheduling a make up date for the spring.
Vancouver better get ready we got 3 days of riding in a Van to unleash upon you.
Peace

MOOSE CROSSING
after ann arbor we set out to canada, paranoid that we were gonna get serched at the border and or taxed for our merch, we crossed our fingers and set out.
to our delightful surprise, we didnt even need to show our ID's this time and we breezed right through the border!
our next destination was hamilton ontario, my hometown where i grew up!!!
It was Mic Skills first time in Canada and we tried to spoil him with all the good food and beer that we could!!!
MISSION ACOMPLSIHED!!!!
The shows were good too!!
actually, I was so fucking drunk on the first night that I actually fell on the stage and landed on my back!!!
I DIDNT FEEL A THING!!!!!
yes! canadian beer you have been missed!
the Show at the pepper jack cafe, aside from the drunk antics, went quite well.
it started off with MAd Ape a local mc who fumbled a bit with his stage precence and seemed to need to work out a few equipment problems through out his set,
then skills, who killed it again, then us, then a really dope dude called LEE REED who was accompanied by a very beautiful women on vocals with him....sorry i cant remember the girls name nor even a bit of there tunes!!!
I was Destroyed! But I do remeber it being dope and that Lee Reed was really good peoples......
We followed up the peper jack with another show at the casbah lounge the next day.....
Man....This night was even more fun for me than falling on my ass at the pepper jack!!!
we started off by drinking a bit, smoking a bit, and doing a show infront of a mixed and samll crowd of about 30 people who were either 70+ years old, or around 25 ish.... I really funny dude named MIKE LONG, opend up with some sketch comedy, which to me was the ipedimey of the style of hamilton....very dry but also hilarious.....
then we watched a few guitar solos and attempts at music...very poppy and fruity stuff...My guess that is what the old folks were there for.....
either that or the dude singin brought his whole family to witness the fruit!!
....but I must admit....he was good at what he did...... again dont know the name of dood....
after follwed mic and then us and then My Guy Boo Radley!
cool show...nothing too amazing really popped off...UNTIL......
we wet down the street and danced our asses off at my guys spot called toche...for you hamilton heads it is exactly what DMBC usd to be....still owned by Scott!!!
DOPE!! that alone was sick enough for a night for me....but....
outside...there was a fucking mansoon blizzard of perfect packing snow!!!
when the bar called last call we all ordered 2 or 3 more drinks and proceeded outside to pick snowball fights with anyone and everyone on the street!
the fight lasted a good 30 minutes and we actually managed to get the entire street involved and or pist off!!!
fucking loved it!!!!
note: MIc SKills first Snow Fight!!! and of course our team won!!! we had our homegirl amanda throwning drunk ice balls on our side too and she was killer!!!!

THE FIRST FEW.....
We had a bit of real shitty weather in the front end of our tour and we had to cancel the show in Columbus OH due to the retarded amounts of snow that covered the roads!
however, when we did leave for the east part of our tour, Ann Arbor proved, ONCE again to be one of our favorite FUM BUCK locations!!!
u see....the tour that we planned out, was intentionally planned so that we would be in the middle of nowhere and actually get a chance to meet some decent people instead of the "HOLLYWOOD" egos and personalitys that we almost always run into in the major city shows!!!
but anyways....we meet these dudes in 2006 on our last winter tour and I guess we left a great impression on them, because the amount of love that they throwed us out there was incredible!!!!
we had a great fucking time!!!!
props to the neutral zone.
Martin and all his crew
Tree City Crew
and THe grey level!!!!
