My Favorite Song This Minute...

...is Fireflies by the band Owl City; if only the local radio station would play it more often! Anyways, I think you should check it out.

Where can I buy tickets?

Cause I want to see this guy perform live!

It's the middle of August, yet I'm wishing it was Winter!

Now I know this will seem very odd to those of you who know I complain about the frigid temperatures in Edmonton like, every second day, but let me explain:

I just saw this on the internets today:

Oh...my...God...

This might be the coolest DVD boxset I have ever seen! Not only does this thing come with a faux-vinyl copy of a Geronimo Jackson single, 3 iron-on Dharma Initiative patches, a map of the island and 70's era Floppy Drive style paper holders for each disc...it also comes with a VHS copy of the hatch films.

:O

I don't think I've ever been this excited to buy a VHS!

To further get me into the LOST mood I'm normally in around January, I just got back from the Post Office where I sent off another 13 through-the-mail autograph requests. (Most of which went straight to the filming offices in Honolulu!) I don't know what I'm going to do after this final season...

UPDATE: I just saw on Jorge Garcia's blog that he received my autograph request! Yay for the United States Postal Service!

My Summer of Concerts

I made a conscious effort this year to go to as many concerts as I possibly could. I figured, I really like music so seeing my favorite bands play live would probably be a good idea! :P

So far this year I've seen Tokyo Police Club, Metric, Mobile, The Stills, Snow Patrol, Coldplay, Green Day, Thornley, All-American Rejects, Fall Out Boy, and Blink 182. Next week is Kings of Leon, and next month is ManRayGun, Keith Urban & City and Colour. I'm having a blast but unfortunately it's not the cheapest hobby!

(Sidenote: I MAY have downloaded a FEW songs in my day, but I figure there are so many really crappy bands out there a person would go broke trying to find stuff they really like...so I struck a deal with myself to buy a ticket for any band that has put out a CD I've liked, and to also buy a tshirt from the merch table - I figure that makes us even! :P)

In other news, tomorrow I'm heading out to Jasper to help celebrate Heather's birthday. This annual tenting trip is entering its second year of a (hopefully) long tradition! I'm not really much of an outdoorsman, but anytime I can eat BBQ'd hotdogs and S'mores for dinner I'm happy!
