Canada Day 2012

Another great Canada Day celebration from City of Surrey in Cloverdale. This year was highlighted by an appearance by Canada's golden boy, Sam Roberts. Fun was had, food was consumed and flags were waved. The only damper was the Glastonbury-like mud pits, but it did not stop people from dancing and enjoying themselves. Can't wait to see what Surrey has in store next year. Until then, Fusion Fest is just around the corner.

Spirit of the Sea Festival 2011

I had a great time at the Spirit Of The Sea Festival here in White Rock this weekend. The free, family event was held right on the Promenade and included market shopping, live bands like Behind Sapphire and The Oh Wells, a BBQ by the Kiwanis Club, the famous torchlight parade and fireworks on Saturday night. If I'm still living here next year I am going to volunteer my time and hopefully help them tweak a few things that seemed to get overlooked. You know me, I like a good challenge!

Canada Day 2011 In Surrey, BC

Here is just some photos that were taken on Canada Day in Cloverdale,BC on Friday. The family themed event was put on by the City of Surrey and including many activities and performances by the Peak Performance Top 20 as well as old favourites Trooper and Harlequin on the main stage. I was able to catch a few of the performances but honestly, it was really hard to see everything in one day. I was there for 6 hours and didn't see all the Top 20, Trooper or the Fireworks Show!

Much thanks to the great team behind this event for putting on yet another successful,fun and free event. Don't miss the Fusion Festival on July 16th and 17th at Holland Park in Surrey!

Watching the Canucks vs Boston Game 4 In Vancouver

I think he made our away game luck disappear.

I love this. All ethnicities..we are all Canucks.

Fans for a few years I see.

I have no idea.

A few people showed up.

...they brought their friends.

Roaming Dragon!

Canada Place had a small turnout due to poor location of the screen during daylight.

Whether you are a hardcore fan, casual watcher or straight up bandwagon-er, get on board the Stanley Cup Express and head down to Georgia and Homer for a fun, free and once-in-40years chance to watch our Vancouver Canucks bring the Stanley Cup home with 30-60,000 of your closest friends. I've done it once and hope to do it again this weekend for game 6. It's completely family friendly but if we win, I wouldn't recommend having little ones on Granville. While safety isn't an issue, it's very loud and just not the place for a stroller. Local food trucks are on hand, plenty of restrooms and a relaxed and party-like atmosphere. Go check it out!

Awake

Great new video for one of my favorite bands, The Autumn Portrait. Shot in Vancouver in February, the video tells the timeless story of boy meets girl and all the heartbreak that entails. The song can be found on their The Design Is Over album available for download on their website. I can't wait to see more videos from the album. Let's make that happen,k?

For more on Freddie and the guys,checkout my review I did for the cd when it was released.
