I'd love to start this out with amazing events of my day, but I have none. I spent a pretty bored day around the house, and it's getting pretty late as I type this.
I'd just love to talk about a great memory I have, if you'd like. Just a little tidbit of my life.
This memory so fittingly happened on the 20th of March, which is five days after my birthday. That was this year. My very first concert with my closest friend Danika.

The band was Great Big Sea, a band I've loved since the age of three. Three gorgeous b'ys from the Tropical Island of Newfoundland, playing their own and traditional songs, with the help of an Ontarian, and a Nova Scotian.

Alan Doyle, Séan McCann, Bob Hallett, Kris MacFarlane and Murray Foster.

They played the Moncton Capitol Theatre, and we'd had our tickets since October! Thirteen years I'd awaited that show, and I sure as heck wasn't disapointed. Those b'ys sound better live than they do on CD, and I didn't regret a dime I spent. We laughed through the banter, and swayed through the songs. I've never been so happy in my entire life, and Danika's the best person I could've spent it with. (I didn't squeak, OKAY? *lol*)

I spoke to Glenn, who runs the merchandise stand, four times between before and after the show. He's Séan McCann's brother. What a sweety! I ended up handing him a portrait I'd done of Bob, and he promised to get it to him.   <3 Thanks a bunch, Glenn!

We, unfortunatly, were a bit far back... So thanks to the Amazing Kate for this pic!

Keep it up, b'ys.
