Great Success!

That there is Chris Shiflett, guitarist for the Foo Fighters.  I managed to get his autograph and give him the cross stitch which he seemed impressed by and thanked me for.  If you look closely at the photo above, you can see the frame in his hand!  I wasn’t able to get a proper photo of him though ’cause two other kids immediately asked for his autograph after me.  It was kinda funny ’cause he asked them where his gift was since I gave him something, lol!

I had waited about 5 hours prior to the show for these guys to show up.  Call me crazy, but there were crazier crazies waiting around too.  Their busses pulled in around 3:30pm and I saw Dave go straight into the building.  Taylor came out to sign stuff but he went the other direction from where I was.  That was when I turned around and saw Chris standing off to the side with a smaller group of fans and I darted over.

The show itself was pure awesome.  I wish I had floor seats but they didn’t seem to be available and/or sold out immediately when we bought the tickets.  It was just constant energy, I already wish I was going to another show tonight.

Foo Stitch!

I finally finished my Foo Fighters cross stitch!  Tomorrow night is their show and  I’m really hoping to find them before the show…  But I’m afraid that my chances are slim.

Small World

For any Canadians out there, I was reminded of the song “I’m Afraid of Britney Spears” by the short-lived one-hit-wonder band LiveOnRelease (under Bif Naked’s label) because Joel found out that the ex-bassist for that band is actually a programmer here at work, lol.

Also, a few years ago, the ex-drummer from the not-so-short-lived and multi-hit Matthew Good Band was also working here for a couple years.

Work Perks & Beauty vs. The Geek

A few weeks ago, because of a bunch of Photoshop work I’d done for the team, I was offered some tickets to watch a Vancouver Giants game but already had plans for that night.  Yesterday, I was given a pair of Canucks tickets!  I haven’t been to a Canucks game for years now.  And I think they’re pretty freaking sweet seats too! 

I watched my first episode of Beauty and the Geek.  I think it’s the second episode of the season, but it has peaked my interest.  My producer and some others love these types of shows, and I can see why.  It’s completely ridiculous and unecessary drama!  And damn, we get to make fun of these people.

The girl who got kicked out tonight, Amber I think her name was, I thought should’ve stayed ’cause although she’s a bitch, she admits that she’s a bitch.  The girl I wanted off the show was Cara, ’cause her voice was sooooo annoying.  It’s like a 5 year old speaking.  Which reminds me of a girl I know who gets child-like around her boyfriend…  Then there was this one geek, who had a totally built upper torso.  It was insane how much he must’ve worked out.  Overcompensating for something I suppose.  Perhaps I will tune in for subsequent episodes…

Indiana Jones 4

Sweet.  I think the trailer’s editing could’ve been a tad tighter, but overall it looks like it’ll retain the same kind of humour the old films did, with a little more unbelievable action which seems to be the thing nowadays.

Gonna Rock Out!

So I finally bought Rock Band…  For the PS2.  What’s being said is that the PS2 and PS3 controllers are all the same and therefore compatible.  Which works out since the boyfriend has a PS3, and my brother is thinking about picking one up as well, so if I ever want to get some downloadable content, I can.  Woot!

Walk Hard

I got to see a prescreening of Walk Hard tonight, and I would definitely recommend giving it a watch. It’s not like the last few Judd Apatow films really, with the sweet story-line topped with outrageously vulgar comedy. But more like a Will Ferrell film, with the right amount of ridiculousness (though still laced with some outrageously vulgar bits) to pace your laughs. I would say it’s nearing the ridiculousness of Anchorman, but not quite that far.

Long Road to Ruin

I’m glad to see that the Foos are still willing to do silly videos like this!
