Junofest: Day One...

[[note: I really should have blogged about this as it was happening, but seriously...4 nights of not getting home before 2am takes a lot out of you. I'm still impressed that I got some of the photos up during this weekend.]]

Day One: Thursday March 26th.
Start Time: 4:00pm
End Time: 3:30am
Locations: Granville Street/Westjet Street Party, The Media Club, Megabite Pizza, Cab

RUN DOWN:

I went with intent to support my ever favourites: Dan Mangan and Said The Whale, and stayed for every single performance that afternoon/night.
-The Dudes were hilarious and so fun to watch and coined the phrase "LONG ASS TENT", referring to the city block sized performance tent. This could be hear shouted throughout the weekend.
-Dan Mangan was as amazing as ever...Josh McNorton seems to think that the girls and myself made him blush with all our shouting.
-Said The Whale was next. The ladies and I snaked out spots up front and made new friends while establishing our dance area. It was hard to see Spencer though, due to the amazing lights on the stage. Love the Red Rocket.
-Jon and Roy...Dawn you were right...it IS Jon Middleton. (Whom once gave me a Sitka t-shirt for, you know, being awesome.) I met their manager and promo guy and am giving them photos..nice guys.
-Hey Rosetta! I finally got to hear them live and loved it. They are touring across Canada. Go see them. Josh Ward = so nice.
-Hot Hot Heat...gave me a beer for giving them paper to write their set lists on. Funny.

After this, the whales etc. went to the media club. I have no idea who was playing. I just needed to sit. Which was great because once the place cleared out we danced up a storm.

And this is only day ONE people...
