Dec 20th, 2003 @ Hell’s Kitchen, Halifax, NS
ENVISION w/ bunch of bands..open mike night
Morgan was back for xmas so we did a short set at open mike night. yeah.

Nov 28th, 2003 @ The Vogue Theatre, Halifax, NS
ENVISION w/ My Revenge, The Hold, Capital Death, The Action Set
An actual hardcore show in Halifax? yes indeed. One of the better shows we have seen here in a long time. Gerry played bass and started off the show by lighting a cigarette which I promptly smashed out of his mouth. LOL

Aug 28th, 2003 @ Hell’s Kitchen, Halifax, NS
ENVISION w/ Dean Malenkos
This was not a good idea. It was Wayne’s last night in town so someone thought it wouldn’t be a good idea to play open mike night. Of course Wayne got so drunk he could barely stand. And we didn’t play til 3am and had to sit through some crappy bands. most people had left by the time we went on and its just as well cuz we sounded like total shit. A bad bad idea.

Aug 28th, 2003 @ Reflections, Halifax, NS
ENVISION w/ Dean Malenkos
Again not really a show. we played 2 songs just for fun with the latest lineup. Wayne and Dave were drunk. Straight edge bands aren’t supposed to do that but oh well...a bunch of people wanted to see us so we did it. Our only practice was going though the songs in our heads at the pool table. Somehow we pulled it off.

Aug. 18th, 2003 @ The Curling Club, St. John’s, Newfoundland
ENVISION w/ Not Enough Bullets, Skulface, Get Stabbed, Taxidriver, Mach Tiver
This was sort of an Envision show..it was me and some dudes from Newfounland playing Envision songs and a whole bunch of covers. We practiced 3 times and pulled it off pretty good. It sure was fun to play again. A bunch of people knew some of the songs and sang along. Thanks to Evans, Dom and Gruchy SEM for helping pull this off.

Feb 26th, 2003 @ The Ceilidh Connection, Halifax, NS
ENVISION w/ The Quote
Well I thought this was going to be our last show..but I couldn’t let it end on such a shitty note.. We weren’t supposed to play this show but i called up all the dudes in the band when Searching For Chin cancelled. We hadn’t practiced in a long time and it showed. We sucked.

Jan 14th, 2003 @ Reflections Cabaret, Halifax, NS
ENVISION w/ The Clap, King Benny, etc
Nothing too special about this show. We played decently. Opened up with a Floorpunch cover.  I don’t dont remeber much else really.

Dec 26th, 2002 @ Reflections Cabaret, Halifax, NS
ENVISION w/ Slitch
Another bar show here..not too many people but the weather was shitty as hell. I was feeling pretty sick but I think we played pretty good. This was also our biggest payout from playing a show...how weird..getting paid for a show. I also dominated at air hockey until the last game. dammit.

Dec 21st, 2002 @ The Lion’s Hall, Coldbrook, NS
ENVISION w/ Wrukus, Sick Of Thought, Lights Punched Out
Our first show with the newest lineup, and our first show in the infamous Valley. Pretty decent turnout...people were dancing and some Halifax ladies came up for the show and were singing along. Fun times. The edge was in full effect as well. Thanks to Kyle for the show!!

Nov 16th, 2002 @ The Seahorse Tavern, Halifax, NS
ENVISION w/ The New Breed, The Mean (ex-Bad Luck 13)
This would be our last show with Ian and Derrick so I hoped it would go better than our last show. And it did..much better. I think we played very well and people were quite into it

Nov 7th, 2002 @ The Pavilion, Halifax, NS
ENVISION w/ District 7 (From Ottawa), The Transit (from Ottawa) & The MacKoids
Ouch...I’m sorry about this show...nothing went right. One of the worst turnouts ever, drums and guitars breaking, stupid cover songs and we were really not ready to play with the new line up. Such is life. The other bands were really good though. Sorry again.

October 5th, 2002 @  The Pavilion, Halifax, NS
ENVISION w/  BANE, 283, The Killing, The New Breed
Holy fuck..what can I say about this one? BANE..finally playing in Halifax. Everyone in Atlantic Canada who matters was there. One of the best Envision sets ever..and some good mosh action. Also our first show with Dave who did just super. And the Bane set was amazing...everyone singing along...just super. This is one people will look back to for years to come.

Sept 14th, 2002 @  The Pavilion, Halifax, NS
ENVISION w/ Flesh Made To Suffer, Falling Short reunion
This was Morgan’s last show with Envision and FMTS. Ole Morg even sang a few songs at the end. Sad to see him go..the end of an era for sure. Also..Falling Short did a surprise reunion show (minus jason)...pretty funny.

Aug 3rd, 2002 @ Cafe Xtreme, Truro, NS
ENVISION w/ Arse Collapse, Capital Death & others
pretty good show. A fair amount of people including many hot girls who played frisbee with us. I think we played pretty good...one of the funner shows really...people seemed into it. All the other bands were good as well. Thumbs up for this one!

July 28th, 2002 @ The Pavilion, Halifax, NS
ENVISION w/ The Plan (sorta last show!), 283, & more
We didn’t do too well at this one. I believe this is when Der-X wrecked his leg. It just didn’t come together so well...ah well.

July 14th, 2002 @ The Pavilion, Halifax, NS
ENVISION w/ The Attack (from Vancouver), The Small Stories
A great lineup but it was a Wednesday night so the turnout was less than stellar. The Attack were awesome (and did a Youth Of Today cover) and I think we played OK. A pretty fun show yo.

June 29th, 2002 @ The Pavilion, Halifax, NS
Skate Park Benefit:
ENVISION w/ Dean Malenkos, King Benny, 52 Minutes
Yeah..this was sponsered by West 49...but the proceeds were supposed to go the skatepark...who knows if they did. All I know is that they didn’t order any veggie pizza for the bands. I don’t remmeber too much about this show. I know we covered Possessed To Skate and barely anyone knew it. I remember skating on stage and on the floor as well..including pulling off a ho-ho plant (one of those old school handplant things if you dont know) and throwing skateboards in to the audience. ha.

May 24th, 2002 @ The Pavilion, Halifax, NS
ENVISION w/ Choke, Rescue, Eyes To The Sky
I’m having trouble remembering much about this show. I know Choke were good. I seem to recall some tension between certain groups of people.

March 10th, 2002 @ The Pavilion, Halifax, NS
ENVISION w/ Miles Between Us, Outbreak & Eyes To The Sky
A great turnout for this show! Lots of moshing all night..mostly thanks to all the out of town kids there. We played well and busted out lots of old school jams (for nick oxner..who would have been right up front singin along.. RIP) Other highlights included the varsity jacket, ryan kicking me and general violence. One of the best shows I’ve been to in Halifax ever.

March 9th, 2002 @ ???? in Saint John, New Brunswick
ENVISION w/ Miles Between Us (from Ottawa), Outbreak (from Maine), NYD, Blandlist
Our second trip to NB would not be easy. There was a mixup at the rental place
so we were quite late and were driving in a fancy pickup truck. Wayne was stuck in the back in the freezing cold for the 4 hour drive...what a dude. Finally we made it there and got to play with some great hardcore bands for once. Oh..morgan couldn’t make this show so der-x played drums and we got ryan blakney learn 10 songs in 1 night. So yeah..we weren’t so tight but I think we put on an OK show all things considered.

Feb 28th, 2002 @ My Parents house, Halifax, NS
ENVISION w/Searching For Chin (from Ontario), Three Fine Days & Blood Of The Innocent
Wow...it had been a while since there had been a show in my parents basement. so many memories. If only FYM was playing. All the bands were great...Searching For Chin had alot of drums. There was lots of dressing up in my mom’s clothes. I looked quite nice in her track suit I must say. This was lots of fun for sure..dancing, boxing, jumpin around like idiots. what else can you ask for? Maybe we can have a show there again someday...maybe.

Jan 5th, 2002 @ The Pavilion in Halifax, Halifax, NS
ENVISION w/ Death Becomes Her Ego (from Mass.), Flesh Made To Suffer, The Dean Malenkos, Hope, When All’s Been Said
A pretty good show. DBHE came all the way for this one show..and they were real good. Alot of people seemed to have left by the time we went on..but all the kids that matter were up front singing along or punching me. We played a couple newer songs that I’m really stoked on. A pretty fun show really!

Dec 1st, 2001 @ The Pavilion, Halifax, NS
ENVISION w/ The Chitz (reunion show) & A/V
We’re back! Most people were here to see The Chitz so there weren’t too many peolpe there when we went on...but those who were there made the most of it. some dancin and singalongs..especially for the Equation Of State cover (but hey I wrote the song so its not really a cover). Great response for The Chitz..just like in the good old days.

April 27th, 2001 @ The George Dixon Center, Halifax, NS
PROPAGANDHI (Fat Wreck Chords mega stars from Winnepeg), w/ ENVISION & Jokes Over
OK..tons & tons of people at this show of course (like 600+). Not too many people came up front for us...but enough to get some good sing alongs in. This was also a rare occasion of having a stage...and it was not utilized at all....hardly any stage dives (i think mostly in part to the lack of people right up front). Other than that...it was awesome. we played 2 new songs and a botched Youth Of Today cover (No More - a super anti meat song written 15 years ago before it was all trendy) Anyway....it was a really good show...if only more shows were like this one. oh well............

April 1st, 2001 - PUNKFEST 2001 @ The Pavilion, Halifax, NS
ENVISION w/ HGM, Dry Leaf, Nothing To Say, The Charismatics
Well now...Punkfest has been going on since at least 1994 ..and this would rank as one of the worst...not really because of the bands but the lack of people. This was especially true for the Sunday show we played. But despite the lack of people it was still pretty fun and we did what we could. We did tons of punk and old HC covers including songs by the Sex Pistols, Bad Brains, Agnostic Front,
Op Ivy and lots more.

March 17th, 2001 @ TKO, Halifax, NS
ENVISION w/ ASB, Recyclone
Oh dear...this was not good. Almost everyone left right before we went on....we are a sxe band after all and punks are not allowed to like us apparantly. We played OK for the 10 people left watching us. Thanks to some of the ASB guys for sticking around even singing along to the misfits cover we played. Ah...TKO...such memories. Oh..this was a birthday party for some guy.

March 4th, 2001 @ The Pavilion, Halifax, NS
ENVISION w/ The Boners, Confidence Band, Shrine Of American Martyr, North Of America, Slight Return
How we played is not important...this was a benefit show for some friends that lost everything in a fire...$1500 (and a TV) was raised for them...pretty amazing i gotta say. We played Real Friends by FYM at this show...I wanted to hear that song one more  time and i doubt FYM will ever play again. Once again..Halifax has proven it’s not the horrible place I think it is.

Feb 3rd, 2001 @ Cafe Mokka, Halifax, NS
ENVISION w/ System Shit   19+ or so they say...
Well...our first bar show. We got free soda. I think we played ok and there were a few people there to see us. We played a Blitz
cover...Oi! Apparantly a bunch of people wouldn’t come into the show until we were finished cuz we were a straight edge band. Now that’s cool. An interesting, and sorta fun show.

Jan 13th, 2001 Awesome Fest 2001 @ Mitch’s House, Charlottetown, PEI
ENVISION w/ Three Fine Days, Hands Held Open, Tatses Like Burning, Crapulence
This show was cramped into a tiny room with lots of people. All the bands were awesome. Again the PEI kids (and all the Hali folks who travelled) showed us a good time by singing along and dancing. We ended the set with a whole bunch of covers including YOT, Chain, and the Saves The Day/Floorpunch mix. then a bunch of people got naked and jumped into the snow. As a side note...my present girlfriend was at this show but I did not meet her until 7 years later.

Jan 6th, 2001 @ The Pavilion, Halifax, NS
NEW SCENE FEST - Day 2
ENVISION w/ The Burdocks, Jokes Over, Dry Leaf, Bound To Happen
not a lot of people due to the snowstorm outside. but still alot of fun. no one at all new the youth of today cover we did. what a sad statement.

Dec 2nd, 2000 @ The Pavilion, Halifax, NS
ENVISION w/ Falling Short (last show ever!!), When All’s Been Said, Last Few Years
This was a pretty damn good show. Not only was it the last time to see FS, it was also Timmy Youth’s last show with us. We surprised Timmy with a stupid rap part in a song
 and with a Dag Nasty cover. Falling Short’s set was crazy and they will be missed.

Nov 11th, 2000 @ TKO, Halifax, NS
ENVISION w/ SNOT PARTY (reunion show!), Shrine Of American Martyr
For some reason I didn’t mind playing at
 TKO this time around. It was actually kinda fun. And we busted out the Bad Religion cover just for fun. And of course there was Snot Party...craziness. A good time for all I think!

Oct 6th, 2000 @ The Pavilion, Halifax, NS
ENVISION w/ GOB(Vancouver), Jokes Over, Urban Peasants
Hmmm..the show here was odd. Tons of people I’ve never seen before were there for Gob (where are they when local bands play?) It was actually pretty fun. Gob are a bunch of stupid fucks.
