The HP Show in Calgary was the last show of the tour. A videotape of it 
shows me working my way through a mickey of Plainsman Whiskey, a 
now defunct distillate that was the financial mainstay of Minnedosa, 
Manitoba. A peculiar buzz developed in the system just before we were 
to begin the broadcast that was cured by grounding the chassis of the 
mixer with  bailing wire, which impressed hell out of everybody and 
was referential to the Plainsman Whiskey, Minnedosa being a farming 
community as well. 35

[segue] Eventually we moved out of the house on Seymour and into 
another ramshackle place at 422 Alexander Street in Japantown. 36
 
The most memorable radio show we did there (memorable at least in 
the doing) was THE HP UNDERWATER SPECIAL, "The World's First 
Completely Underwater Radio Show." Everything we did was necessarily 
low budget and the only person we knew with a boat was an old crippled 
watchman who lived in a barge at the foot of Main Street.  He took us 
out into the Burrard Inlet in his dinghy and we gave him a pint of rum.  
The rum and the condoms were our expenses for this program. The 
condoms were for putting over audio stuff that  had to go into the 
water.
