Just Give’r

Friday night brought Danny and Carol into town for Winterlude. A few pints were drank and the night became a random shaker with a SLEW of people showing up for some impromptu jam session/karaoke, as well as some fun impromptu games (listen people, I don’t own any board games, get over it). We may have recorded such sessions where the highlight was definitely Danny’s harmonica solo!

On Saturday, we ventured out to tour the town…visited one of the Losier’s relatives, then parked downtown and walked around to see the ice sculptures and the canal. Lo and behold, at the ice sculpture park I found Uncle Greg and Aunt Mariette from Peterborough! Very cool to see them as I have not seen them in quite some time. It never fails that I shall see someone I know down at Winterlude.

The night came and we prepped ourselves (aka dragged our asses) around the house until we left for the ever-faithful Heart & Crown. Quite a few people came out for this event and they were not disappointed! Highlights of the H&C night are:

• Some random fight breaking out next to Danny and Carol. Turns out that Mike was in the washroom while this happened and was disappointed that he missed it.
• Finding my cousin Rick in a sea of people. When I arrived I toured around but could not find him. I assumed he went home but I stumbled upon him later in the night. A few beer were had, some scotch also and things were good. He had randomly met up with some classmates from Toronto. Small world.
• Holly thinking that someone looked very rotust. Not robust, but rotust. Hollyisms abound! I actually heard rotusq.
• Living on a Prayer!
• The sweet, sweet Sweet Child o’ Mine guitar solo.

And the award for drunkest person alive goes to: Holly.

The next morning Danny and Carol were off but hit a snag when they realized a can of pop exploded in the van the night before. Bummer.

As for me…what did I do on Sunday? Onto the next blog entry…
