23 Days Until the Gorge!


Connie and I are heading down to Washington State to see the Dave Matthews Band at the most amazing venue in the world. The Gorge Amphitheatre.

Three days and nights of camping, partying and great music supplied by DMB. This year is extra special as O.A.R. are opening for Dave.
We have an extended crew this year with a lot of rookies making there first trip to the Gorge and their first concert with DMB. Wow! Talk about spoiled! DMB AND THE GORGE for you first show.
I should talk, that's the first venue Connie and I saw them too. And we've been hooked ever since.
There is such an awesome vibe there. Everyone is there to have a good time and take in the amazing sights and sounds.










Connie and I are probably traveling the furthest. Coming all the way from the east coast (Nova Scotia) to Calgary and then driving down caravan style with the rest of the crew. We have about 20-25 people making the trip.
Booyah!
Here is a pic from the last time we went back in 2004.

Barnyard Opens Today!


So a new animated feature opens today. Barnyard. My cousin Glenn and friend James Burke worked on this film and I am SUPER-EXCITED for them!
There has been a lot of criticism about the movie, what with a bull having an udder and all, but I have faith in Steve Odekerk and his crew to put an entertaining film on the big screen.
Will it be Pixar? No.
But who says it has to be? Pixar does their thing and they do it well. But Omation's first feature is an Omation film and deserves to be judged on it's own merit.
I'm looking forward to a fun movie experience with lots of laughs and good writing - something that is sorely missed in a lot of other big-budget films that have visuals that rival King Pixar.
Barnyard looks to be a good time and what more can you ask for?
Giddyup!
