They are now signed to 604 Records and just finished touring with Theory of a Dead Man and Three Days Grace (separate tours). They will be playing Next week at the Roxy and if you are interested in seeing a great live show with an amazing line up of bands... you guys should come out! Here are the Details:

Another year, another Arts County Fair. Can you believe this was the 10th ACF I've been to? For those of you who do not know what Arts County Fair is it is a huge concert/beer garden that happens every year on the last day of classes at UBC. The first year I went with Rochelle. I was 17 and she was 16 and at first we felt so out of place, but by the end we were having a blast. I've gone every year since then... usually the day is filled with lots of drinks, some background music, losing your friends and random encounters. This year, however... I managed to NOT lose my friends! Indy & I bussed down to UBC, made a stop at the frat house for a bit... and then proceeded to Thunderbird Stadium.

We had a good time there, but the best part of the day was when I ran into my friends Lena & Danielle. I decided to leave with them and headed to my old stomping ground... the notorious P.I.T. So this was my favorite part of the day... my friend Lena is in a super-turbo automatic wheelchair, so Danielle hopped on her lap, and I climbed aboard the back and held on as we zoomed past everyone across campus. It was so funny, people were laughing at us and we couldn't stop laughing... I'm surprised I didn't fall off! We ended up also zooming past the line-up at the PIT and hung out there for no more than an hour, when Darcy picked me up (THANK U) and took me to the Hilton for some food and lots and lots of water.

Last Sunday, Sparky, Audrey and I went to see Hawthorn Heights, All-American Rejects, and Fallout Boy. It was a pretty good show, although I prefer smaller venues. Audrey and I amused ourselves in between bands by watching people continuously tripping over a bump on the floor. Fallout Boy put on a pretty entertaining show... including spins & spits, fire balls, jumping into the crowd etc...

Other than that, I've just been working my two jobs trying to save up some money. I'm also taking a photography course at Focal Point once a week! I've only had 2 classes so far but I'm really enjoying it! Here are a couple of photos I took last week:



























Well I just wanted to say HAPPY EASTER to everyone!!!! Hope you eat lots of Chocolate!

So, ya... it's true. I'm old. I was talking to this girl today who is still in highschool and she says "So you like graduated a long time ago right? Are you married?" Poor girl almost ran away when she saw the look on my face. Why am I more bitter about this than usual? Because I just had another birthday. I am now 26. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

My birthday week was actually quite eventful. The Saturday before my birthday I had people over that I had been really close with in highschool for some drinks and it was really nice to see everyone. The next day I had to work in the moring along with 5 other really hung over girls. That night I had a games & wine night with Grant's friends from highschool. I'm trying to steal them away from Grant while he's gone! Muhahahaha!

It was also my parents birthday that weekend (yes, weird I know they were born on the same day) so there was plenty of ice cream cake to go around! My actual birthday was on Wednesday and it was perfect! My girls picked me up and we went and got Lychee bo ba nie saw. aka LYCHEE BUBBLE TEA! YUM! YUM! Then we went downtown to my friend's place and watched Top Model! woo hoo! haha! (we could also watch the firemen across the street! also yum yum!)

The next day I went and donated blood for the second time! I was so brave and went all by myself! I really recommending it to anyone! They ask you some funky questions (ie. Have you ever had sex with a guy who's had sex with a guy before 1977? etc) but the good news is you get free cookies!

Then this last friday we went to the Roxy to celebrate Sarah's birthday! It was a lot of fun, lots of people came out which was cool... unfortunately I didn't get too much dancing in :(

Anyway I'll post some pix up for your enjoyment.

Anyone going to Arts County Fair this year? Speaking of old, this will be my 10th year going. Holy CRAP

PS. There are pictures posted from this week in the photographs section!

PPS. I hung up my world map again yesterday and put all the pins in the places I've been. I decided I wanted to take a picture of it. But when I looked at the picture I realized I had captured something more than just the map... Is it a ghost?? My mom & I think it's my Granny. What do you think? Look Closely.
