alun piggins will have to wait another few more years
yes, i was excited about seeing alun piggins. i busted out my mid 90s cds and listened to the morganfields’ thrash waltz a few times to celebrate. so, imagine my surprise when i arrived at the elixir tonight shortly after 11 (in breathless anticipation, no less), only to find the doors were locked. i’m not sure what that means – perhaps i’m the only alun piggins fan left in kingston? or, perhaps more accurately, the only one without exams? anyway, in summary, i’m pretty much heartbroken.

saddest story ever told. thanks, meghan.
December 8th, 2004 at 7:36 amSorry about that … Alun was first gonna get a ride with Shuyler, but Alun fucked up his back and cancelled most of the tour …
December 8th, 2004 at 4:41 pmwe was then going to travel with Rocketface, but the story was that Toronto was all crazy due to freezing rain and shit like that …
hopefully we can reschedule it for a time very soon
funnily enough, i discovered last night that alun piggins played a free show in toronto this past weekend just down the street from my house. if only we had known… i think that’s the definition of tragic.
