Michaela’s blog..... Coming home after the best month of the year.
Aug 1st
So, we’ve made it back to Toronto. Whimper. Tear.
We got to Toronto early Thursday morning and it was probably the hottest day of the summer too. The band got to rest up a bit and then played Sport Pig on Captain Johns boat. Care wasn’t feeling well but she never showed a sign of feeling like death.
The next day Care, Tony and I went to watch From First To Last play Wakestock. It was also our last day with those guys for who knows how long. That’s the worst part of tour, you make friends fast but then who knows when you’ll see them again. After wakestock we went to the Opera House to see the “secret” Deftones show with attack in black, protest the hero and alexisonfire. The Deftones didn’t play their full set but they did one hell of a job! Afterwards we celebrated Abe’s birthday and our last night to really party with those guys.
On Saturday we were up in the early hours of the morning to make the boat over to wakestock. It was a long, hot day but lots of fun. The band played a great set (as usual). Then they has a twister/spin the bottle/cd giveaway party at the Underground Operations tent. Nobody got naked or made out so it was a bit disappointed but fun none the less. After that the band signed autographs at the merch area and sold lots of cds. Everyone spent the rest of the day relaxing and then watched the Deftones for the last time. (For now).
On our way back to the island we had a miniature tittle wave come over the front of the boat (my side) and it was super fun and a great way to end the weekend. Luckily nothing got damaged but I wish I had a camera to recapture everyone reaction.
Now that the tour is over, I look back and wish I could start it all over again. Thanks to all the bands, crew and fans. Die Mannequin will back VERY soon!

Hello everybody,
Michaela here. I'll be giving you all a good look into the world of Die Mannequin with photos, videos and stories from the road. So you better be paying close attention.
We are currently on the road with Vancouver's Pride Tiger. We absolutely adore those guys and it's awesome to see them play every night.
On the first leg of the tour we visited the towns of Windsor, Guelph, London, Ottawa, St.Catherines and Oshawa. .
We took part in this years NXNE in Toronto where we opened for the always entertaining White Cowbell Oklahoma. It was a great show and lots of old and new faces came out for it. (Theres lots of cool pics up in the pic section)
After the show in Guelph, Care made it to the pre-MMVA party "Rockstar Hotel". The party took over the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto and was filled with lots of free swag, booze and "rockstars".
The following night Care went to the Much Music Video Awards to do her thang. Meanwhile Pat and I were having our own fun with the other rejects at the blink party. I have a good story about a bottle of hypnotiq, security guards and running but I think I'll wait for another time to tell you about that.
After the pre-parties were done we all met up at the after parties. Now, after parties can be really pretentious and boring, not to mention that the woman's washroom reminded me of a scene from a softcore porn movie. However we saw old friends like Magneta Lane and Billy Talent which was cool. We also did a little photo shoot on the red carpet.
Besides all that and seeing the occasional industry schmuck getting groovy on the dance floor that's all I can report from the evening
So, right now we are finishing up the second and last leg of the Pride Tiger tour. We will be in Quebec City, Montreal and Toronto this week. We are also taking part in Woodstock en beauce which will be really cool and messy I'm sure.
Next week we will be leaving for West Coast Canada to do a show in Kelowna, BC and kick off a cross-Canada tour with the Deftones. We are very excited for this next venture and the band has been getting ready with new songs, merch and other surprises.
Till next time,
Michaela

Hey kids,
Today we are leaving for the west coast of Canadaland to play our last show with Pride Tiger in Kelowna, BC and then kick off the cross Canada tour with Deftones and From First To Last. I'm STOCKED as well is everyone in the Die Mannequin family.
A quick re-cap of what went down last week.
We made our way to Quebec City where we were greeted with a glorious storm, nasty security guards and HUGE hills that leave your gas tank empty. But I gotta say for every bitchy security guard there are 3 extremely awesome people to make up for it. Such as the folks who let us crash at their place on their last night before moving out. And for every steep hill there is a beautiful view when you get to the top. Quebec City is a truly beautiful city.
The next day we made our way to Woodstock en Beaue. It was a really great show and a cool scene to see. Tons of people rocking out, drinking beer, camping and having fun. Some of us wanted to stay all day but we had to get back to Montreal.
We got to spend a good amount of time in Montreal and it was probably one of the busiest days we've had on tour so far. We started off Friday morning getting new gear for the band. It was really exciting for them and watching their reactions as they saw their new stuff was sweet to see.( If you thought they sounded good before wait until you hear them with the new stuff.) We then went to CKLO to do a short studio session for the Concordia radio station. The show was at foufs which is a venue for music, dancing and drinking. Always a good time at foufs!
The show in Toronto was amazing. Tony, Care and Pat were so on that night that it brought tears to some of our eyes. It was so cool to see the band play Lees Palace and get such a great reaction.
We then got a few days off to rest and charge our batteries for the upcoming tour. Check out the tour dates and we hope to see you on the road. Don't forget we got new merch so come visit me at the merch area and check it out.
