2015 Canada Cup - The Middle

Day 3



Curling.



For a bit on the media bench, I got to sit next to one of the Winter Youth Olympians - Team Canada is visiting and learning and practicing this week. Very cool. I'm obviously jealous those kids are going to Norway.



I also managed to find a dinosaur sponsor pin! No time to visit the new Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum this trip, maybe in February?



I went for a lovely short walk through the park that goes through Grande Prairie. It was such a beautiful December day!



The non-highlight of the night was when my computer crashed in the middle of editing a scrum and I lost it all and had to start again. Then that froze and I found the old one. And there's timing for these videos - I have to post them and pass on the link to my boss who is posting the article and needs the video embed link and this all needs to be done as quickly as possible after a draw. Fortunately I still squeaked in under the wire!






My favourite uniform #1: Team John Epping - My Favourite Purple. Love it!









My favourite uniform #2: Team Pat Simmons, as modelled by John Morris - Crazy Camo.








My favourite uniform #3: Team Sherry Middaugh - Classic Red.
















Walk in the park.






















Dino pin!









Enter to win Team Jones bobbleheads from WFG!









Quite the line up.

Day 4



Besides curling, I walked to the Farmer's Market, which was closed because there was a Christmas craft sale on somewhere else but no one bothered to update that on the internet. Anyway, I stayed for homemade tacos at the concession and they were delicious. I'll be back for tacos in February.



It's the second last day which is kinda sad because I'm liking the people here. The Scotties should be fun!






Last round robin - men's draw and women's tiebreaker.










Team Purple Jacket lives to curl another day.







Clocks packed away for another day.









Men's semi. Best view in the house is mine!









Welcoming the Winter Youth Olympics Team Canada.









Having a laugh at the kiss cam!









This is what you miss during commercial breaks.









Extra end to end the evening!

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...
