Well, I felt that I didn't get enough out of last night's show, so I went again tonight. Danny and me were up at Fairview this afternoon, and we decided to give Donna, who was going down early, our money for the tickets.

 

We took the 6:10 bus downtown, and met Harry Banks and Jeff Brain at the station.

 

Donna, Dave Essiambre, Sherry Smith and Keith Percival 'Percy' were all at Alexis Nihon. Donna gave us our tickets-standing room-and we went into the Maidenhead Inn. I sat with Dave and Sherry (his girlfriend). Sherry was making passes at me under the table-fuck-

 

The show was just about the same, 'cept I got into it a little more.

 

Took a nice bus ride home.

This is Gillian speaking. I am spaced. Really spaced. I did a cap of seconal last night. It is 10:30 the next morning and I am still.

Got to go as I am having a rush.

 

All my love

Here, Mike's.

April Wine is playing at St. T. tonight-Bob and Brad can get me in free. However, it starts at nine so we go up to Fairview and get stoned. Around 8 they split-I meet Maggie, Sue, Larry-we convince Ivan of the lightshow fame, his girlfriend + a guy named Lorne to come with us to Mike's. Get stoned, fuck around, generally pretty good. Heather was advertising all night so I picked her up after everybody left so the chicks wouldn't hassle me.

City, Rob's.

Brad + Bob called on me tonight, and we got Peter to drive us down to the Maples Inn. The main part is reserved, so we go into the Caboose. Then the asshole waiter hassles us for I.D.. Brad shows his, Bob just pulls out his wallet like he has one "I'll go out to the car to see if mine's in there" says me, and I bum one from some guys near the door. Then I go to the back and tell the waiter to bring me a quart of '50'. He brings it to me, and doesn't ask for my I.D. *FUCK!!

 

Well, we smoke a little dope and drank some beer and eventually, Brad and Greg Smith decided to met John Gillies on the far side of the St John's-2&20 overpass. Bob and I left about 5 minutes after them. We walked as far as the city bus stop and decided that we had made a mistake and started heading for Rob's, who was having a bash. When we got to the tunnels who do we see but Greg and Brad smoking with Gillies. We went up, and those two split back to the Maples, while John finished off an all-hash splif with us two. Bob decided to go with me because he had to get up early Sunday morning. It was pretty good at Rob's, we got a little more stoned.
