So last night I went to a free Trews concert. It was one of those Molson Canadian concerts and they had been giving away free passes for a couple weeks at the campus bars.
Upon entering Fed Hall (one of the on-campus bars here at U of W that the concert was at) I was given a coupon for a free 8-pack of Cold Shots. I managed to later get another one from a friend who doesn’t drink. Free concert and 16 free Cold shots. It was the beginning of a good night.
The openers were a band called Boy and they were pretty good. Average opening band. Fast-forwarding to the main event, The Trews were awesome. Wow do they ever know how to put on a good show. High energy throughout the whole night and damn can Colin ever sing.
After their show, my friends and I were hanging around the bar for a bit because it was pouring rain outside. Meghan went to go get an autograph from Angus, the guitarist, and when he gave her his autographed he told her that she was really pretty. So then a bit of time passes with us bugging her about it ten when we were about to leave we ran into Angus again and we talked to him a bit and he was like “so do you wanna come back to the vip lounge and have a few beers?” Uhhh…yeah?!
To sum up the night: Free concert, 16 free Cold Shots, free beer, and we hung out in the vip lounge with The Trews. It was a good night.
