In the beginning
Looks like I managed to stay away longer than I thought I would. But I’m back! With a new domain and a new look. And back in time for my birthday (tomorrow). Wahoo!
My first present was undoubtedly the best. My brother bought me tickets to Edgefest II. I was hoping that he might come with us since my BF doesn’t like my kind of music, but apparently he’d never heard of any of the bands playing. WTF? He listens to the same radio station as me, how is that possible? Anyway the lineup was Anberlin, Ill Scarlett, Matchbook Romance, Story of the Year, Hawthorne Heights, The All-American Rejects, and Yellowcard. When I originally heard the lineup I thought I’d died and gone to heaven! Now here’s the wildest part… July 6th I happened to be cruising around and checked out the Yellowcard site. I caught the word Edgefest in the newsbox and read on.
Win Tickets to See YC at Edgefest 2 in Toronto!
07.05.06 – Yellowcard is playing Edgefest 2 in Toronto on July 16, and you can win free tickets by barely lifting a finger!Just email YellowcardFreeTix@gmail.com with the subject line “EDGEFEST”. Include your full name, and your favorite Yellowcard song. You’ll be entered to win 2 free tickets to see Yellowcard at the Molson Ampitheatre on July 16. WINNERS ANNOUNCED THIS FRIDAY, JULY 7 so be quick, and check your email often!
Okay I know I already have tickets, but what the hell right? The next day I’m sitting at my computer and I get an email…THE EMAIL…I actually won tickets!! This may not be a big deal to most, but I NEVER win anything! Shitty thing was the tickets ended up going to waste since my “friend” who was supposed to come with me never bothered to show up. Lame. Not like I didn’t have an excellent time without her. Talk about a long day though. We got there shortly after the doors opened at 13:30 and Yellowcard didn’t finish their set until around 23:00. A truly amazing concert!
The day after the concert was my brother’s moving day. He bought a townhouse with his fiancee for a ridulous amount of money because he doesn’t do cheap. Okay I’m totally jealous, I admit it. The house is really beautiful though. On the main floor is the living room, half bath, kitchen and dining room with fireplace. The second floor has 2 large bedrooms: one in front and the other in the back sandwiching a laundry room and bathroom. The third floor is the master suite. It is a gigantic room with an ensuite, walk-in closet and a walkout to the rooftop deck. Almost forgot the finished basement with bar which spans the length of the house. When we got to my brother’s place there were pylons in the street and a couple of trailers parked across the street. I didn’t think too much of it (duh) until I looked over and caught the back of a blond head in brown coveralls. “No. Couldn’t be.” But it was. Mike Holmes. Not sure if it’s just a Canadian show or not, but he’s got his own renovation show called Holmes on Homes. My brush with fame.
Stay tuned for my content as I’m trying to rearrange stuff.

July 28th, 2006 at 18:55The domain looks spiffy — I totally love the design of the header. And that’s awesome about winning tickets. I would love to see Yellowcard perform but I’m a loser and don’t do concerts anymore. Meh.
I hope you enjoyed your birthday.

July 30th, 2006 at 11:43Oh, Edgefest 2 must have been awesome! I went to Edgefest 1 with Our Lady Peace and I wanted to go to Edgefest 2 so badly to see Yellowcard and Hawthorne Heights, etc. None of my friends wanted to go though, so that sucked. Now, explain to me – did Mike Holmes fix your brother’s new home up for him???
