Concert

I went to the CMT Hitlist Tour concert in Vancouver last night with the girls from work. Dean Brody, Deric Ruttan and Aaron Lines were the three singers. They were awesome!! They did "Jessie's Girl", "Summer of 69" and "Copperhead Road" (The crowd got to pick three songs from another artist for them to sing) They did great for all 3 (especially Copperhead road.)

When the concert was over they came out for a meet and great/to sign autographs. I got Deric Ruttan and Dean Brody's autograph. I got my picture taken with Dean and he was very nice. I tried to meet Aaron as well, but there was a really drunk older lady that would not leave him alone...

I also got to meet up with my friend Amy (from my 1st year in Jasper) that I have not seen in a long time. It was really cool that we were both going to the same concert.

I am going to see George Canyon in October, and hopefully (depends on when I'm moving) Paul Brandt in December.

Kenny Rogers

So it is PNE time in Vancouver, and I managed to talk a friend into going with me Monday night. It had to be Monday as there is a free concert (free with general admission) every night, and Monday was Kenny Rogers.

He was awesome. Not only were his songs sung well, he was very funny. He made jokes, and told stories. He even joke that one day they would wheel him out in a wheelchair and he would roll right off the stage.

He showed a few clips from "The Gambler" as he sang that song. The only bad part was that he cut our a part of "Coward of the County"... But I guess you can't sing about a woman being raped when you are singing at a fair...

There were also horses, ponies, oxen, cows, rabbits and more at the fair. We watched the Superdogs which was great. There was a market, oxygen bar, tribute bands, lots of food. I tried a deep fried mars bar, a deep fried oreo and a deep fried poptart...

HeHe

I read this joke in a Coffee Time flyer and thought it so funny that I have to share it. Read all the way, it is worth it.


A very distinguished lady was on a plane arriving from Switzerland. She found herself seated next to a nice priest whom she asked: "Excuse me Father, could I ask you a favor?" "Of course my child, what can I do for you?" "Here is the problem. I bought myself a new sophisticated hair remover gadget for which I paid an enormous sum of money. I have really gone over the declaration limits and I am worried that they will confiscate it at customs. Do you think you could hide it under your cassock? "Of course I could my child, but you must realize that I cannot lie." "You have such a honest face Father, I am sure they will not ask you any questions. And she gave him the "hair remover"

When the priest presented himself at customs, he was asked "Father do you have anything to declare?" "From the top of my head to my sash I have nothing to declare." Finding this reply strange the officer asked "And from the sash down what do you have?"
The priest replied "I have there a marvelous little instrument designed for use by women, but which has never been used." Breaking into laughter the officer said "Go ahead Father. Next"

A While

My Granny (Audrey) emailed me that I have not blogged in a while, so here I go. I have been fairly busy, working two jobs, pet sitting, and now I have a babysitting gig once a week.

I got bit (stung) three times by wasps last week. I was bush whacking and I think I stepped on or close to a nest. I got stung three times (twice on my hip through my clothes and once on my calf) The one on my calf was very painful, then itchy, but the ones on my hip were not so bad

The weather has finally gotten nice here, it looks like a short summer though... I have started getting a tan, but I don't think it will last long :(

I am going to Playland this Sunday afternoon with the girls so that should be fun.

Not much else to say...

To Grandma's House we go...

Guess where I am

Wedding

My friend Katelin got married on Saturday. Here is a picture of her and her dad, and a picture of me all dressed up. The wedding was at 1pm, and the reception at 6. I had a nap in car in between as I did not want to risk driving back and forth with the hockey traffic...
