03 FebVideos and Social Media

Does anyone watch music videos anymore? Did the internet kill the video star? Much like Video Killed The Radio Star… I love music videos, loooove music videos. Radiohead – Just? Still has me thinking to this moment. I think they’re amazing for artistic expression and for doing some amazing things to song. But videos have not been really amazing as of late I think. I just watched Lily Allen’s The Fear which is pretty good and works with the song but maybe we’ve all just seen it all as far as music videos and it’s all been done, but I hope not.

26 JanFlash In The Can

I’ve been a fan of the Flash In The Can festival since I got out of college and have always wanted to go but never a) never had the cash (it’s almost $900.00!) and b) never really had the reason. 
So when I saw FITC was giving away tickets for free to females who enter a video entry of why they should go, I was all over it.
So I submitted a video and I won!

Check out my debut on YouTube, must delete after the entries have all been decided.

12 JanSea-Doo, one day.

2009-sea-doo-gtx-215tnI took my yearly trip to the Toronto International Boat Show yesterday and came away with the same goal as last year that’s totally out of left field but one day I’ll end up going through with, to purchase a Personal Water Craft. A JET SKI/Sea Doo whatever you wish to call it. 
I’ve had the same dream since I was 15 sitting on the dock at my cottage watching the people ride them by and wishing I was out there. Since then I’ve had the opportunity to ride one myself and see how fun they are and despite how out of budget and the “rational” questions of where I would store it I know one day I will buy one, even if I’m 50 riding around a lake on one and BMP has come out with a flying saucer that rides over the water or something fancy.
I’ll buy one and enjoy it like I’m 15 everytime I get on it.  

Oh and PS Boat Show – this post has more SEO than your website, you might want to think about that, the people who made it did a good job on theirs, but not yours. *call me!* shhh.

08 JanEvening With Kevin Smith…

401099508_2609e5a30dMr. Kevin Smith.
He’s coming back for a 3rd time for another “Evening With Kevin Smith” to Toronto, and I didn’t even know until yesterday. 
This time it’s two nights at Roy Thompson Hall in February. I just checked and all the really good seats (like floor level) are gone for both nights but I’m still debating going as there are seats left and I would be 3 for 3. I can’t top last time, we front row and it was incredible.
He’s hilarious and so worth listening to. His stories are epic and he’s crazy talented. 
 …Lay the podium down. 
If you haven’t had the opportunity to see this man speak and tell his stories I suggest you purchase the tickets immediately before I do :)
