catching up
Well, it seems like I'm always catching up. At work, at school, and even here on my blog. So, what have I been up to lately? Lets see..
This year started out with the UofC 40th anniversary kickoff party, with some great bands including Spirit of the West and Bedouin Soundclash. This was on move-in day for us apartment rez kids so it was the first day I got to see my roommates since last spring!
If you can't read Steph's visor.. it says "UofC.. A great place to work and learn".. we found it on the bleachers of McMahon stadium. Classy.
On the right is Bedouin Soundclash. Boy that bassist can sure dance! The best part was when they played 'Hey Beautiful Day' and the entire audience sang along! Oh and I also liked when the random people ran across the field behind the stage at the end and nobody stopped them. haha.. causing havoc isn't as easy as it used to be!
Last month our friend Chris had a mexican themed party at his rez apartment entitled 'Fiesta Desnudo'. We mostly hid in his bedroom to avoid the masses of hot, sticky, drunk people populating every other square inch of the apartment. The night ended with the shitkicking of a poor little pinata, which I can't post because I took video and this blog won't let me post videos. But once I figure out how to do it, I will most definitely share it with you.
Left to Right:
Chris, me, Andrew, Steph (or should I say, Stephanita!.. no, I shouldn't, that's a terrible name, shame on me)
Jen looking festive in her umbrella, and Reza looking suave.
Just a week ago Andrew's band "Lions and Tigers and Bears" played a show a Tequila. It was one of the funnest shows that I've been to, partly because of the awesome bands they played with, and partly cause my dear friend Heather and her lovely boyfriend came along!
The girls . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The boys
.. and what happens when you put them together!
The night's openers, a band from BC called Whitfield. Really great music and nice guys too. I'm already wearing my new Whitfield t-shirt all the time.
Lions and Tigers and Bears with a super set full of classics and some newer stuff.. and then Hot Little Rocket, whom I screamed my head off at to play my fav song of theirs.. and it paid off! "Are my eyes too red to go to work today?!"
Well.. that's that. I have to wait til tomorrow to get my halloween/20th bday pics back because I took them on a disposable camera, for the safety of my digital camera on the pub crawl last Saturday.

PS: today marked the first official day that it is fair game to play christmas carols on the radio, sell christmas decorations in stores, and start a countdown to the big day itself (54 days til xmas!)
