2014 Brier Canadian Men's Curling Championship: Update 4

Thursday, March 6, 2014

I had ramen for lunch and a tasty squash and zucchini for dinner. Oh yeah. There was curling.





I'll never get tired of this view. Watching 4 games during a draw at the Brier is a special thing.





Friday, March 7, 2014

Last morning of round robin play. I showed up as usual, late-ish, and caught up with one of my Wednesday Ladies league teammates who has come to watch the final weekend. It's always nice to see a familiar face!



There was no tiebreaker, so I should've gone for a long walk along the river during the long break, but instead I read, watched bad reality tv, and ate delicious lunch and dinner from my favourite food truck, Eats Amore while I dreamed about joining roller derby. I am not normal. Then it was off to the arena for an exciting 1-2 page playoff game. It's weird going from watching 4 games at once to just 1. The crowd was super loud! I was tweeting scores for the CCA twitter (hope I did ok) so I actually had to pay attention! Then it was rush downstairs to film the scrum (apparently my bum made it onto TSN, eek), edit, post. Hometime!






The last time we might see the Koe brothers side by side at the Brier??


 






Is this how you thought it would end up?


 






One of my favourite things about Kamloops has been the Eats Amore food truck. Delicious - and super nice people!! If you're local, check them out!


 






Beautiful view from my hotel.


 






Another beautiful shot later on at dusk. It's been a nice city, friendly people - I'd come back here again.


 






Getting ready to be piped in!









Two pipers and a Tankard!


 






Awesome curling hats made out of plastic party hats, duct tape, sharpie, cardboard and a nail scrubber!


 





The Sociables are back - always fun. Also notice the best sign in the arena tonight!


 






Trevor Panczak sang his curling love song "I Curl" - very clever, but I can't find it online...


 






Kevin Koe, ready for the semi-final tomorrow.


 






Jim Cotter, his first time off to a Brier final!









John Morris, pretty darn happy to be heading straight to the final!

Even though at times, it did feel like Elliott has taken a step back in his second year at the cup level. I also felt like (throughout the year) that Elliott didn't truly take off until we got into the Nascar playoffs. The driver of the No.24 car was a force to be reckon with and a common name in drama down the stench. In those...

The Music < Tarp Family: Folk Fest 2014 Wrap Up

It's taken me a long time to write this post because mostly I couldn't think of how to fill out my top 5 for the Edmonton Folk Fest 2014 . This was not a stellar year on the hill for music for me. I've previously acknowledged that I've pigeon holed myself so much musically that I enjoy less and less these days. And this year, I'm a bit burnt out and didn't really want to deal with the early mornings and the lines. I was only going to go for one day to see Michael Franti, but ended up being talked into getting a weekend pass. And it was a good thing I went for the whole festival. View of the city is always stunning from the hill. Here's my Folk Fest 2014 top 5: 1. My Tarp Family - Even though the music was not awesome for me this year, my tarp family sure was. This is the second (or third, we can't remember) year I've hung out at the top of the hill with my (relatively new) usual music crew. And over the years I've really come to love spending tim...
