fun videos from canada day 2007

Here are couple of fun vids from way back when I first visited Victoria on Canada Day. I totally forgot I had these vids lying around.

canada is hot week

Holy cow! What a week! Brittney (sans Benn, unfortunately, since he had to work) and I drove up to Victoria on Sunday morning for Canada Is Hot Week with Andrea, Kyle, and the rest of the Victoria Flickr gang (I’ll explain the whole Canada Is Hot thing another time). We had a birthday party for Kyle. We played Guitar Hero. We danced. We went to the beach. We went to the lake. We ate lots of food. We drank lots of booze (well, I didn’t since I was the DD most of the week). And, of course, we took lots of photos. It was a crazy, busy, fun-filled week that was the perfect way to spend the last half of my vacation before jumping onto my next project at work (yes, I’ve been on vacation for the past couple of weeks).

Technically, I’m still on vacation until right after Labor Day, so I’ve still got a few more days of chilling to do. I considered going to Bumbershoot, but I’m not sure my head can handle the mass of people there. I think I’ll just relax a bit with some quiet time at home, maybe go take a few photos, hang out at a coffee shop or two, and sift through all the pics from Victoria.

I’ve got some photos from my trip already up in my Flickr photostream. More pics should be rolling in sometime this weekend.

what a weekend

this is canada day

This past weekend in Victoria was an absolute blast. We spent some time at a beach. We went to the Band of Horses show. We ate lots of good food. We drank lots of booze. We jumped. We had loads and loads of fun. It was the perfect way to spend my birthday weekend. I did unfortunately catch a cold on Sunday, but it wasn’t enough to dampen my spirits. I just didn’t drink any booze that day. :)

Brittney, Andrea, and I got loads of pictures from the weekend’s fun. Check ‘em out here:

it’s my birthday!!!

blow out, rock out

Yay! It’s my birthday!!! To celebrate, I’m heading up to Victoria BC with Benn and Brittney to hang out with Andrea and Chuck and probably others. We’re going to the Band of Horses show tonight. We’ll have a Canada Day BBQ on Sunday. And, in between, we’ll probably go crazy around city causing much madness. I’ve got 4 cameras, several lenses, a few flashes, and too many rolls of film packed and ready to go. I should be able to get a few good pics from the trip.

Back on Monday!!!
