I found this searching for Holiday Snaps stuff online. I just have to put it here because Horseface wrote it (edit-it's not up anymore). I remember hanging out in Clayton Park with KC and Watt, listening to Elements of an Incomplete Map before it was finished.

I also remember my first time meeting Horseface. The Snaps were playing a show at the Mokka. It was the week of Tall Ships, 2000. I was kitchen supervisor at Pizza Delight on the Waterfront, now Stayner's Wharf. I went in early that morning, 6:00 a.m., to make extra pizza dough. I didn't leave there until 9:00 p.m. We ran out of dough, we ran out of lasagna, and pretty much everything. KC came looking for me, and I went out and had a smoke with him. I also yelled, and swore, and cried. Then I went in, set the timer for the pasta, and told my boss I was leaving, his spaghetti was cooking.

I sat up front at the show, beer hanging between my legs. The music was loud, I fell asleep just the same. I woke up when I felt the beer slip out of my hand and smash on the floor. My first time breaking a bottle at a show.

At the end of the night KC introduced me to Jon.

"Who?"

"Jon Epworth."

I just looked at KC, maybe I said nice to meet you to Jon.

KC leans in, "Horseface."

"Oh, am I supposed to know who that is?"

The Tall Ships are coming back next summer. I'm going to do my best not to work in food service.
