This is the third installment of Future Fridays, where you find out what XY Unlimited dreams about when it’s sleeping. Sometimes you can change the future by leaving us feedback about our plans!
Look at all that peninsula!
Vancouver is exactly 1,294 miles away from Los Angeles. Google maps says it would take us 425 hours to walk there, but we’re hoping to drive.
That’s right: XY is currently in the process of booking our first international show (!!!) as part of our November 2013 West Coast tour. Michael is chatting with a Vancouver acapella group right now about setting up a joint performance. It’s not official yet, but that still qualifies it for Future Fridays material.
Needless to say, we’re excited for this XY milestone. I was pondering this potential show earlier and staring obsessively at the map above, and I noticed some exciting things:
Dear Canadian Government: it’s not too late to give us the welcome we deserve. Please consider fireworks.
- Vancouver is right next to Burnaby and Surrey which, though I know nothing about them, sound delightfully British.
- The entire city is surrounded by water. I took the liberty of finding some actual images of the city, and they look amazing. Case in point, our new blog header. –>
- Canada’s major interstate highways are marked with a fancy green and white maple leaf logo. Excellent choice!
The possibility of our band crossing a border has already got us thinking about where we might go next. Should we tour the African Savannah on the backs of Rhinos? Should we make a Bollywood movie about “Carmen” using an all-Indian cast? Should we somehow become really, really popular in Japan?
What do you think?

So, you want to be oot and aboot in BC, eh? Love that town!
That’s the plan, Dawn!
