Which Eight? The 51st!

The 51st Eight were back in town on Saturday, playing at Hermann's Jazz Club. As usual, the performance was great and included two guests that joined them for a few songs each. The dance floor was big enough for all of us dancing and we put it to good use. I'm now down another $30, but I'm up two more 51st Eight CDs.

On a more serious note, after 51st Eight, we were driving home and Hillside Ave. was blocked off by police between Quadra St.(?) and Cook St. Apparently, there had been a high-speed chase that ended in a fatal shooting. A Victoria man had been driving a stolen GMC Jimmy and had tried to run down a group of officers. More details can be found in these articles from the Times Colonist and the Vancouver Sun.

That is all.
