CMW Day One: Part Four: The End Of The Day Ramblings

The day ended quite well.... Grant, Max, Barry and I went out to eat.... it turned out to be tons of fun! Max is really cool! Barry is very determined to fix up my Macbook to meet his standards. He wanted to give me CS3 but I don't have enough free space so he went off on this kick about how I need a new hard drive and how he was gonna do it up for me! Oh Barry! Anyway it was super fun hanging out with Grant, he took me around to various locations to show me some cool architecture. Union Station has some amazing architecture. I'd love to do a shoot in there. So at the restaurant we had the craziest waiter, he was really nice though. I loved the fact that when Grant was sarcastic to him, as he tends to be with waiters, he just came back with the wittiest responses... It was awesome! 10 Bonus points to that waiter! We ate that the spaghetti factory and I swear the place looked like Mary Poppin's carpet bag blew up.. it was super creepy... there was even old carousel horses..... CREEPY!!
OH OH!! So when we were eating Grant was like oh we should have set it up so you could have met Andrew MacNaughtan... bastard!! I wanna meet Andrew.. He's so amazing! Anyway Grant said to bug Barry about it because he knows him.... you're damn right I'm buggin him about it.. how often am I ever going to come to Toronto plus it's effin Andrew MacNaughtan... he's one of the reasons I started concentrating on music photography! I'm such a loser... come on I have to freak out about at least one person and every music event, it wouldn't be right if I didn't! I just get excited because I think these people are very talented, not because of who they are, just so we're clear on that. I'm not some crazy screaming girl! Hookay so, now that I've no doubtitly rambled on about that long enough in my exhausted state...on a lighter note, I see that Andrew has changed his website..... well sort of, he pretty much just changed the background, but it's easier to look at then the other one he had up. Andrew is so awesome!
Right now I'm sitting alone in my hotel room by myself of course, it's not a bad room, it's actually quite nice, but it is kind of boring. Honestly I'm kind of lonely though, I have no one to rant on and on about stuff with. No one to go on about the days events with, no one to laugh with and come up with funny one liners with.... honestly without someone to feed off of I can't come up with any funny lines for the ending of my blogs..... Damn it!!
I should be off to bed now I guess it's 11:00 pm, an early day for most music events, but I have to get up at 6:30 am so I can meet up with Max and Grant at the Royal York tomorrow by 8:00am.... OUCH! What really gets me is how event weeks or weekends like these always start so early when you know that they don't end till late, or should I say early in the morning to be more exact, because everyone's out partying it up...... man the people who organize these events are stupid.. or they delight in torturing others and in turn themselves... I'm going with number two on this one. Or maybe when their planning it all out they're like " oh well this year will be different I won't drink, and partying all night, so it'll be ok to start things early", but alas it never works out that way does it.... good thing I don't drink.... Eryn and I wouldn't make it one day if we drank and partied at the ECMAs, no effin way in hell!

....... has anyone ever told you you look like the bad guy off of the Usual Suspects....

CMW Day One: Part Three: A Quick Note...

I love Canadian Music Week.... and you know why?! Because you get the right kind of DAMN PASSES!!!! I have an All Access pass... like I'm suppose to... where as at the ECMAs we're Official Photographers for the whole event and all we get are shitty volunteer passes that say we're photographer..... which means we have to spend the majority of the time bitching at the stupid little volunteers who can't read, even when you point at the official photographer part of the pass and shove it in their faces, and don't listen to what you're saying to them..... I hate having to explain who I am to every little volunteer who thinks they have power..... Thank God I won't have that problem here!......... Oh Fuck I hope not anyway.... I'd have to pull my hair out then... or theirs!
So I'm still just sitting here.. bored.. not doing anything except trying to kill time and listening to the new Trews album..... ARGH! I'm soooo bored! I'm still having fun don't get me wrong, but I'm just so bored!!!

Later Days,

CMW Day One: Part Two: I'm Finally In Toronto & I'm Bored As Sh@!

Hookay so... after waiting in Halifax at the airport for what seemed like forever, plus the flying and the waiting around for the express bus, and then taking 45mins to get to the Royal York where I met up with Grant...... I'm finally effin here!! Thank God! Now I'm sitting around in one of the conference rooms in Royal York... listening to conferences, while Grant shoots them. Oh and I actually got to eat really food.... that never happens at the ECMAs especially on the first day!! I think I may grow to like this..... probably not! On a side note there's not much going on today, by the looks of it not too much at all is happening until tomorrow...... which means I'm probably going to be bored as shit..... guess I'll have to call Liam soon... YAH LIAM!!
I really wish Miss E was here to make things interesting..... at least if she was here we could bitch about things! Like for example there's these two girls singing right now on stage and their voices are so annoying! These days anyone can get a record deal... muh ha ha!! It would be an interesting experiment to try...... I can really play or sing.... it would be very interesting given the connections I have if I could put out an album..... I'd love to try it... I think it would prove to be a very amusing social experiment!

......Never give Grant a napkin when he's bored..... he'll make a chicken!

CMW Day One: Part One: F@%# I Hate Winter!!

So here I am sitting in the Halifax Airport...... waiting....... waiting some more...........and some more.......... The weather outside is shitty as hell, so of course my flight is delayed! I'm not sure how long it's delayed for, they haven't said yet. Bastards!! I'm so bored... and SUPER tired! I didn't get any sleep last night and had to get up @ 2am to get ready to leave for the airport @ 4am..... Not to mention that I'll probably have to be up until 2 or 3am today! It's only the first day and I'm gonna be up for over 24 hours!! AHHH!! This is gonna be a long ass 5 days! I need sleep!! There's this little girl sitting in the seats in front of me and she has so much energy that it's driving me insane.
An announcement just came on..... they have no idea how long it's gonna be delayed..... how stupid are these people.... just make something up at least because I'm gonna have to text Mr. HTT and tell me about my delay........ effin winter! The way things are going I may just have to sleep on the plane, and I hate doing that! I'm sooooo tired!! Sleeeeeeep..... need Sleep.......
