Aaaand I stayed home last night. Heard the rumour around 10:00. Poop.

This is really effing sad. I was really looking forward to hearing new music coming from her, and hoping that she was in better health. The reports from the concert where she got booed off the stage obviously didn't make me optimistic, but I didn't think it could be nearly this bad. Rest in peace.

I'm going! Punk's going to U2 though, so it's just me. After missing last year, I decided never to miss this festival again!

Bear with me, when I don't have words I speak in pictures:

I found this photo while reminiscing, not sure if I've ever shared it here before. Been thinking about him a lot this week. m.

Better?

Thanks! I blame you, Schwa.

I just dug my password out of the back of my brain to come on and say that we got tickets for the first night! (the only night we planned on going) Punk is travelling today, so I didn't think he'd be able to get online to share.

This made me smile Vernon Downs was my first show! I remember having to drive back to the Falls right after, not fun. I have a copy, but I don't think it's very good either.

Here are a couple of pics from our reception photographer extrordinaire Bonnie, hand selected by punk to capture the emotion in the tent that night:

Thank you so much everyone! I feel like my vocabulary has been reduced to two words since Friday: Awesome. Perfect. Everyone who couldn't make it was sadly missed, and we hope you'll all make it out here at some point for a visit!

Congrats! It looks like an absolutely magical day, and I'm so sad to have missed it!

Happy birthday!

I've heard good things about it, and I've been meaning to go for a while. Since it's a bit out of the way I always forget that it's there. It's another seasonal one and I always remember in October.

I just saw a study on Canada AM that both Moncton and Fredericton are in the top 10 cities to live in Canada. (Ottawa was #1, by the way!)
