So last night my friend Lindsay called my up at Midnight and asked me if I wanted to come jump the fence to the Gathercole Building Demolition and take some pictures. (Shhhh don't tell anyone!)  "Okay, I can only go for an hour though"..... 3 hours and 100 pictures later....

 Here is the Result.   Enjoy!

June 27th, 2004

I pray you all vote tomorrow. This is the first time I will have been able to vote for a federal election and I am exited. Not only do I have a chance to exercise my democratic right that many countries do not have, but I am a firm believer that if you don't vote then you have no right to bitch about the government. For that reason alone I hope you all go out tomorrow, and if you aren't of voting age then I urge you to talk to any older siblings or especially your parents about who and why they are voting to learn something.

If you are still undecided Here are the websites of the Conservative, Liberal, NDP, and Green Party. Read their platforms and see which ones best fit how you feel. Don't listen to all the fear scare commercials on the TV and Radio, make a decision for yourself (and if your parents or siblings haven't decided then send them to read the platforms too).  If you can't decide on a party then just vote for Green party because they need all the votes they can get!

Just think of how many people have died in history to give us everything in life that we take for granted. Exercise your right, exercise your privilege.

12 hours from the time I'm writing this my good friend Brett will be on a plane to Europe for 2 months.  What better way to say Goodbye than a pub crawl!

What's with the T-shirts you ask? Well a friend of ours found them in a warehouse he works in and they have been there since 1989 needless to say despite Brett washing them they all smelled like dirty crayons but were funny nontheless.

See you all at The Bassment tonight!

SOOOOOO  Guess who isn't allowed to donate blood for 1 year because I've been to a Rain Forest in Mexico in the last six months!!! 

OOOOH YEAH!!!!     

Funny thing is that I finally decided to listen to the Vampires and go donate blood and now I can't. No problem for me!  I still got a donut out of the whole thing too!

See you at the show Saturday night!

June 8th, 2004

So I've been a HUGE loser and not gone to any of the shows for the last week!

I feel like I'm going into show withdral!!!  SOOOO I (and all of you!) am going to the next three shows this weekend and I hope to see you all there!

Don't forget to save your pennies for Sunday night too as Webster is great! (provided they haven't gotten a crappy vocalist because last time I saw them they didn't have a vocalist and they were just good "music")

Give it a second listen.

Last year before Warped Tour I made it a point to “sample” all of the bands that would be there so that I knew which ones to listen to when I was there.  Glassjaw, a “screamo band” I guess, didn’t really appeal to me last summer when I tried listening to them, but now, a year later, I can’t stop listening to them! My music tastes changed, and I grew into the CD.

Back in grade 10, I bought the new Beastie Boys CD Hello Nasty. I thought IT WAS TERRIBLE!!! I forced myself to listen, but I just couldn’t bring myself to it.     Just after I bought the CD I told my friend how much I didn't like it and he offered to buy it off me....I pondered it, but then decided I would give the CD another try. Six months later the CD never left my discman. I ended up buying every Beastie Boys CD.

I’m sure I far from need to tell you this, but, at least for me, the CDs I hate at first turn out to be the ones that never leave my discman, and the ones that don’t leave my discman when I first buy them end up getting boring fast.

 The point of this is to tell you to go over to that stack of CDs you have. Pull out the CD’s that you only listened to once or twice, and force yourself to listen to them again. Maybe that CD really was terrible….maybe it may never leave your discman.

Are you like me and you are wishing you were one of the fifty thousand people partying in downtown Calgary right now?  Well the next best thing (from an 18+ perspective) is to drink some beers and go to www.flamesgirls.com
