Mark, weather is superb here on The Best Coast, less so in St. John's. 27C and sunny, with not a hint of humidity, doesn't get dark till well past 10:00pm.

FYI Mark, HeavyNFLD runs in St.John's July 24-27. It only runs for one day in Corner Brook, but will feature Ibex, a band from Moncton which boasts members from Omnivide....a recent (for me) amazing find. Think Opeth on steroids.
