Packed & ready to go

Day -1: Ottawa to Halifax to Deer Lake

I'm all packed & ready to trek to Corner Brook, Newfoundland for the ECMAs.

I decided to get media accreditation this year, so I'll be a bit more behind the scenes and down with the all access insight. Besides this blog and the Brockway newsletter, I'm hoping to write an article for HipHopCanada.com, and David F at FYI Music has asked to post my blog coverage on his site.

Oh, and keep an ear on CBC Radio 3 on Thursday, as host Lauren Burrows shares my answers to some of her questions regarding Corner Brook and the ECMAs.

When I toured through Corner Brook this past summer I remember trying to find a liquor store (to buy some authentic Newfoundland Screech). It was a Thursday and my time was short, but I didn't have any luck... There's got to be one there somewhere!

So tonight, I'm staying at a small bed & breakfast in Deer Lake. $45 per night - can't beat that. Tomorrow I'll be taxiing into Corner Brook to my weekend destination - another bed & breakfast. Moncton rapper/graphic designer/beatmaker, Nayles, is staying in the room next door. It'll be nice to catch up...

I wish Rogers provided cell phone coverage in Corner Brook. This is one of the few times I wish I was a Bell/Telus customer :)
