Lebowskipalooza

Saturday night we took in Lebowskipalooza in support of the Alzheimers Society. It was a great night with the guys. We started the night in style at the Regal Beagle and when the waitress came and asked our table if we would be interested in some Caucasians, we couldn’t resist!

The time on the ticket said “doors open at 6pm” so I figured it was rush seating and we were there early. Unfortunately the movie didn’t start until 8:30pm so we had some time to kill. It was great to just see all the costumes and hang out in the lobby. Mike was a big hit as The Jesus and gathered quite a crowd cleaning his bowling ball. My favorite event was tossing the whites.

Before the movie we found our seats and enjoyed the trivia contest and the dance off. The costume judging was a little sketchy. I wasn’t the best Walter there but Mikey should have won for his Jesus.

It was cool to watch the movie in that setting forsure. Not sure I would do it again next year but it was a good time.

Family Day/Weekend

What a great weekend with the Bear.

Shan’s family has made a ritual out of getting together this long weekend (Louis Riel Day) and this year it seemed to span all three days. The cool thing is that alot of the out-of-towners come in for this one and we get to see everyone all in one place. This year I made sure cousin Brian was staying with us. I also made sure that while he was here he got to experience the loudest, most passionate arena in the NHL. Big thanks to Gavin for coming through on some wicked seats (row 4) for the Colorado on Sunday night. Brian and Alf said they had an awesome time and when we watched the highlights after the game we could see them on TV. At the end of the game Brian was at ice level banging on the glass for the big win!

It was really nice to have him here, even if it was just for a short time. We laughed, we cried, we ate Barb’s cake.

To everyone that came to town, and those who worked so hard to make this happen, thanks for another great weekend!

NHL12 Highlights

Started my season with the Jets and picked up Omark early in the season. He is deadly in the shootout. I also captured a nifty little pass from Morrison to Peever resulting in a big goal. Nerd alert.
