Alas, 'Tis Over For Another Year


And we are back to a normal life again.......or getting there........hopefully soon after we catch up some darn sleep, which should only take, oh, about a year!
Last day at the ECMA's was great, except that yes the storm that we were all expecting did hit Fredericton early Sunday, which made the roads hell to drive on. So of course I did have to call work and say that I wouldn't be in on Monday, Hooray! So, we checked out of the hotel and spent the better part of the afternoon hangin out with Dan the Man, captioning photos at hie hotel room.....by the way the "Plaza" should really be called the "Palace" based on what Dan's room looked like. Oh and by the way....how the eff did he get an ECMA bag when we didn't?! I want free shit too, mostly just the bag though. And then came the big event of the weekend.......the Awards show, or as most people there reffer to it....the "Joel Plaskett Show"......but really come on, no one else put out a new record this year, and the man effin deserves it! Also, glad to see that Chr!s Smi!th FINALLY won Photographer of the Year, WooHoo......Chr!s you are effin amazing.....and thanks for the tip about drunk photographing, haha.
But just to let people know another reason why fredericton effin sucks.....The Aitken Center....need I say more. Effin sauna, not to mention having to wade through the toxic fog, effin haze. But anywho....best part of the whole evening....yes indeed it was getting to hang out in the Delta lobby on the CBC couch with Barry watching people check each other out....and no, we are totally sober in this photo...or at least Miss H and I were........where was Jimmy?
Hookay, so we stayed up all night captioning photos and partying and then wehn the storm finally let up.....we drove to Sackville and crashed for a bit.........a whole 26 hours without sleep! WTF?!!! And let me just say that....we LOVE moms.....and mom food.....then we drove to Truro after a few hours nap and the saddest part of the weekend took place......Miss H and I finally had tp part ways, or as Mrs T would call it, we "cut the umbilical chord"...............and both drove (me on the bus, not driving thank goodness) home...............and I don't remember much after that...just passing out.....although I'm pretty sure I did have dreams...yes Miss H I was talking in them again. The End

peace

............ _____ was supposed to get me a joint, but I think he left the building! Good Old NGR!

A Quick ECMA Sponsor Theory......

Ok ok... we're sitting in Dan's hotel having a little chat about Mrs.T..... and we've come up with a theory..... seeing as we're pretty sure that at the CCMAs 2 years ago he hooked up the MAXTRAX lady.... then a few months later *puff* we have a sponsor for the ECMAs and who is it but good ol' MAXTRAX..... coincidence... I think not!! Then this year we don't have a sponsor.... and we see Mrs. T going into the Delta with a dozen red roses.... did something happen?...... did he piss off the MAXTRAX lady?.... is he trying to suck up to someone? So many questions, no answers...... I mean what would you think!!!


"We're getting snowed in and she's fine with it"...

ECMA 2008 Day Three (The Final Day) Part One: The Trews Effin ROCK!!!!


I would have come up with a better name for the blog but why hide the truth!! lol Miss E will explain later about the whole Trews thing in a recap of last nights events....and no we weren't creepy!! But for now onto a little blurb about THT.... last night when Miss E and I were heading out of the hotel, from different exits (she had to go to the front desk, I escaped out the back), we both ran into Alec from THT. So I guess THT are staying in our hotel. If we had of had time I'm sure we would have tracked them down but the ECMAs won't shoot themselves! Knowing that THT is in our hotel.....we're owed a sharpie, a silver sharpie at that, and we intend to collect!! muh ha ha
Oh so Barry is ALIVE! He does exist!! We hadn't seen Barry until last night and we were beginning to think that he was a figment of Grant's imagination. Barry rocks! We scared the shit out of him, it was too funny! Miss E came up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder......He jumped about 2 ft in the air lmao........

And that is the moment when we finally got to see the Trews........but lets start that story off from the beginning. Hookay, so.....music NS was at the Back Nine last night, by the way I effin hate the staff at that place. I waited outside the doors for two and a half hours to finally find out that the fire marshal said even if people left no one else was getting in. Down the hatch went that paln to see Joel Plaskett and the Trews, effin staff. And wtf Grant? Can you not answer your damn phone when I call you! I could have froze to death! At least I made friends with some people in teh line around me.....we shared a tender moment of huddling together to eat some tic-tacs........I can't remember your names now but your effin awesome guys! And a special shout-out goes to your mom, I'll call you good teeth boy, for letting us have her scarf to share between the four of us when she left. I heart moms. Anywho, I walked back to the Plaza and met up with Heather feeling discouraged, when Mrs T finally calls us back......and hope reigns! Until his special call to get us into the show ends up in failure cause the Trews can't even get their own family into it! WTF?! fredericton effin sucks!
But again hope prevails as we realize that they are playing at the Delta, where Barry is..............sorry to the guys I stood in line with but............yes we indeed did get backstage to take photos during the show!!! And for that we heart Mrs T........but he still owes us. And I think that we might have been recognized us from.....well we can't talk about that...it's a whole other universe. but man....did he ever stare at us.....??????? So we arrived back at the hotel afterwards on a Trews high.......and then passed out from exhaustion......
And now today is a new day, our last day here.....time flies......it's gonna be a long day, but I can feel a good energy about it.

Later Days

Soooo many stamps..........I feel like I have a new tattoo!!

ECMA 2008 Day Two Part One: Who Am I? Where Am I? Where Can I Find Some Coffee?!!!

Never ask Miss E where to find coffee..... we have a small coffee maker in our hotel room. Needless to say watching Miss E make or try to make coffee is highly amusing!! Snort of whitener anyone!
So we woke up early..... 7:00am to be exact, after going to bed at 5:00am, to work on our images thinking that Mrs T (we decided to change Grant's new name from Mr. T to Mrs...... because it's amusing!) needed us to shoot in the morning, but of course he didn't. We could have slept in....The Bastard! And we're the eff are my roses!! Apparently Mrs. T has a dirty secret or more then one! Let's face it Mrs. T is a jezebel! Regardless we got sent to the Delta to shoot nothing and spent the whole morning collecting ashtray rocks.

We will finish our days events later, right now we're off to shoot...... Miss E to Music NS and me to the Rising Star.... Damn you Grant. I hope you know you owe me big time!!!

Later Days

Miss H

Damn it I hate when you forget good lines..... i've got you under my skin!

ECMA 2008 Day One,Part Two: Why Can't There Just Be Numbers!


As state above why the hell can't there be effin numbers for streets instead of names.... that you can't even see until you're right on top of them and driving past! Also be careful of those infamous slight rights, they'll get you everytime. Just a quick note before I turn it over to my cocktail waitress Miss E..... Gordie Johnson is stalking me!! or me him it's hard to say but I'm sure it's him me because I'm not that creepy!!......anymore........ although the Trews are here...muh ha ha!!

Hookay....so, my ngiht was not as star struck as Miss H's......if one more drunken man comes up to me at the bar and tries to hit on me am honestly going to take my effin camera and club them with it........although I did get a very nice compliment on some photos I took at a previous awards show, boojah! And if one more effin little volunteer tells me I can't do something cause they can't read the print on my pass.......well I can't say what will happen but it won't be pretty.....

As for our adventures together......no it does not count as stalking that we followed Steven Page (Barenaked Ladies front man)...we were simply taking photos of him at an event and didn't know where it was in the hotel. What better way to find out than to follow the person giving the speech?! We are so clever.....and not creepy at all........right. Also, thye have little, I din''t know what to call them, carnival food stands set up.....and yes at some point today I am going to either enjoy a "Two Hours Traffic Hotdog" or maybe even a "Trews Burger".....oh Fredericton where did the province go wrong with you? wtf?

And now since we're writing about last nigth this morning cause we effin passed out with no energy at around four am, I will tell you how day two is beginning........yes Chris I hit the snooze about a million times. Up until effin four and have to get up and work on images at effin seven, wtf? What is wrong with this picture....oh yeah....NO SLEEP! Save me Jesus, save me Tom Cruise!


Peace
It's a DEATH COCKTAIL!!!!!!!!..............um, I'm gonna have a muffin!

ECMA 2008 Day One,Part One: Return to Hell on Earth

Ok first off, Miss H made her return to the East Coast safe and sound (holy F it's been a long time since we wrote a blog,wtf?) So, we're off to the ECMA's again this year in crappy old fredericton of all places, jeez the frig louise! On the drive here in the middle of butt F nowhere, what do we see stranded on the side of the road? No not cute little wildlife animals, one man on the side of the highway surrounded in copious amounts of red luggage of all shapes and sizes. So that was a big shocker, no one around, no broke down car anywhere in site, and the man wasn't even hitch hiking, he was facing away from oncoming traffic,wtf mate? Hookay so, then we decided to change the identifying name of our boss on Miss H's cell phone and as I'm fumbling my way through doing that, he calls.......and i believe my first reaction was something in the way of this.............HAAAAAAAA! As I had thoughts of throwing the cell phone from my lap, yup. Then it hit us afterwards, yes miss H is inadvertently stalking Gordie Johnson.......who is most likely hanging out with the Trews, who we are trying to avoid for reasons we vowed neveer to speak of again........to the grave it goes with us! Muhahaha! Has anyone ever noticed the sign for entering Oromocto...........the army man with the peaceful canoe floating past, the epitomy of the Canadian Army right there for ya.............quick they're attacking into the vessels.......and row!....row!! Also we have learned that Miss E's pass has been mixed up and now we have to go down to the Delta and fight with the Volunteer lackies to get the right one.......yes I may have to punch someone out...and thus begins the ECMA's 2008!

Peace out
....................Look out.....I have to pee!.......I'm high on Rockstar!.........We live it,we love it..........we know it!!
