Ok, so we had some not so great load-in weather... and some not so great load-out weather... in a town that there's really not much to do other than a) work or b) sit around and wait for Aurora Borealis to come knocking. We did plenty of working, that's for sure and as for Ms. Aurora? My email alerts (yes, yes, I actually am that big of a nerd) only indicated enough geomagnetic activity for a sighting on a night where things were far from dry, let alone clear.

But... the people of northern Alberta were happy. Bon Jovi was playing their hometown and they were stoked. If that means Aurora and I need to wait a while to contemplate the world, well, I'm ok with that.
