Let's rewind, shall we?
On Friday, October 13th, I was invited to sing along with George and the Class of '84 at their Shannon's Irish Pub gig; luckily, the friday and the 13th didn't decide to mingle and bring bad luck with them. (I would post a picture of myself but I only got video...pics of the band will be posted on their website after the delivery of the pictures to the band)

I did end up editing my 361-ish pictures down to around 200. And I only actually got 45 of them printed when I used up my 200 free prints (thanks, Blacks!) I have a hard time deleting pictures from my computer if they turned out great, but I'm having an easier time not printing them. This stems from previous photo developings and thinking to myself these pictures look identical...WHY did I print them again? And because 200 pictures is a photo album in itself.
As part of the Western Canadian Music Awards, this band played at the pyramid. Also ended up taking quite a few pictures at this show...I don't believe I've even uploaded them, so they are not going into this post. I managed to meet Chris Nelson, beloved videographer for Musicmusic; specifically, Going Coastal. He was super nice, with much wit. He also happened to mention that the Kid would be in town the following day, also for the WCMA...insert freakout. Shaun, from Wide Mouth Mason.
The Sunday of that weekend began slowly. I was forced into going to a cheap-ass wedding show downtown at a hotel, where we had to listen to a terrible wedding singer butcher his way through "Kiss" and "Hard to Handle" (I have video of this one to prove it!).
On our quest to find Shaun, we snagged some free shwag at the Western Canadian Music Conference, and eventually walked out of conference's hotel location, accepting defeat...but wait, who's voice do we hear? *sigh*, mission accomplished.
Continue, shall we?
October 24th was the Trews at the U of M. You had to win tix in to this, which I did (I tried so hard, aka, listened to a certain radio station for so long, and finally, they just handed them to me via their mailing list thingy!) I also managed to take a shit load of pictures, though many of them crapped out. Thanks Molson, for providing the trews with such ridiculous lighting, whereas the opening band The Stills had extremely well-done lighting. Thanks.
I DID dress up for Hallowe'en, but I only actually got one picture of me in costume, taken by my friend Brittany. I was Leela from Futurama, and though some say it looked awesome, others couldn't tell who I was. Really, I think that the biggest problem was that Futurama is not nearly as popular as Family Guy or the Simpsons. Oh well.
And I've been strapped down with immense amounts of homework and studying but I don't see a terrible amount of things in the near future, so hopefully my postings on here are slightly more frequent...I know how you guys must feel, I am insanely confused when you folks don't update for several days.
I bid you adieu.
