Poppa's Weekend in Canada

[Big Poppa]

Every year Marty Albertson of Guitar Center and Brian and Scotty and I take a road trip for a few days to visit the warped tour and see some local stores....THis year we went to Toronto and Montreal.....

I love both places. I knopw I tease you guys but what a great country you have and I haven't even stopped in one of the Tim Horton's yet....

Here the boys are out in front of the Guitar Center/ErnieBall Axesmith where all the bands on the warped tour can have their guitars set up and strings changed

SOme shots from the Ernie Ball Stage

WE are heading back in the morning early.

A little note for those of you in Montreal or want to mail order this...Steve's Music has a 2005 LTD Edition Buttercream 3s Silhouette SPecial marked down to $999.00 and it just needs a little wonderwipes and a slight tweak of the truss rod...Somebody grind these guys and give this a good home!

[DaPatrooch]

Glad you had a good time! I hope to visit Canda someday! Well, apparently I was there twice, but I was too young to remember it well haha.

Glad you had a good time. We always go to the warped tour. I got to see and meet one of my favorite bands (Protest the Hero).

Last year I saw The Human Abstract which btw EB is endorsing

If you ever have(can squeeze) the time, take a few days and hop a rail trip across the land of the loonie. Amazing country...

 

[edrod]

I've always wanted to go to Canada, I have heard nothing but good things.

 

[MikeVt]

Ah man! I wish I had known. I'm just over the border, an hour south of Montreal!

Oh well, maybe next time. Glad to hear it went well.

Who's that skinny guy on the left?


I emailed Steve's music about the buttercream. I couldn't find it on the site. THanks. We'll see what happens.

 

[Astrofreq]

Do you remember if it was hardtail or vintage trem?

 

[slukather]

Looks awesome, but the thing that amazed me the most was how much weight BP has lost, well done.

Scott.

 

[glockaxis]

Cool. Road trips are always fun especially in Canada. Toronto is awesome...so much hockey at every corner. Have you checked out the Hockey Hall of Fame?

 

[TimSz]

****!

**** yeah! Anyone that wants to come visit up here, I can surely sweet talk some people into places to stay and tours of the local facilities and scenery. This place is really great. Glad y'all enjoyed it!

I wish you stopped by the Long & McQuade I work at in Toronto. One of my co-workers played at the Warped Tour, but I don't even know the name of his band.

Am I allowed to comment on Brian's Jimmy Dean good looks? No wonder all the girls were gushing over him last October...

 

[richb]

GREAT job,your seriously looking great these days!!!
I'm not sure if the name Big Poppa fits you anymore...

 

[Colin]

Great pics. Can Marty walk around unrecognized? Being the most powerful guy in the industry and he always seems so low key.

Family looks great Bp!
