Once upon last week Miss Quincy, The Showdown, our official band photo location scout Cody Hartley, and I snuck onto the rooftop of Castle Manor in Moncton, NB to take some new promo shots.
Castle Manor is a hundred year old abandoned castle of fun that in the past has served as Mary’s Home for orphans, a Catholic school, and a senior citizens’ home. According to the City of Moncton’s website it is currently listed for sale at$985,000, which is a steal of a deal considering there are 4 stories, 54 rooms, and a 12 person elevator within its 25,000-square-foot cut stone walls.

As every model knows, the warm-up is the most important part of any photoshoot.

3 days ago I was sure I wasn’t going to be alive long enough to lose my East Coast of Canada virginity. Last year’s ol’ plane crash in the Yukon really ruined my relationship with flying and I can’t help but feel absolutely certain every plane I board is doomed to go down in a blaze greater than the Tenerife airport disaster of 1977.
Against my irrational fears, my flight on May 22 from Vancouver landed safely in Montreal where Miss Quincy & The Showdown‘s trusty Vangina was waiting with an empty shotgun seat. From the airport we hit the highway East for an 11 hour drive to Moncton and our new New Brunswick home, Plan B. Plan B is a bar straight out of the best sitcom you’ve never seen and the folks who run & frequent it are so wonderful we’re stopping by again next week on our way back West.
