Karaoke at the HoJo

«« prev next »»



It started out innocently enough. Over to Brian's to listen to some records.



Maybe drink some beer.



Brian says "C'mon fellas, I hear there is going to be a punk rock show show at the Biltmore. It'll be neat-o"



James rounds up a posse. Tell them to hurry up. The show might sell out.



The show sold out. The Howard Johnson Hotel bar beckons us to come in. Any port in a storm, right?



...and the pitchers start flowing



James contemplates karaoke.



Brian and James kick it ol' school with "The Humpty Dance"



They do a little dance.



The crowd goes wild and rushes the dance floor.



Damian is quite chuffed with the situation as Brian embraces him from behind.



Some Aussies from the aforementioned crowd invite us to a spontaneous house party...



...at 3 in the morning.



James dances while Brian wonders where his wallet went.



Not too sure whose apartment it was. Random Aussie girl #3?



Or was it Random Aussie girl #1?



Hey did these two actually hook up? Memory is a bit fuzzy after this point.

This is my first attempt at a 'panorama' shot. This is a view of Blackcomb Mountain as seen from Blueberry Hill, a little further down the highway. Until somebody shows me how to make one of those flash player panorama thingy's, you will just have to scroll across the page.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Melissa is in town and we are playing tourist. Hopefully this gives you some idea how big some of the old trees are in Stanley Park. We just got up to Whistler. Stay tuned for more pics.

"Boy George was in the news again today... It seems the Coast Guard arrested him because they found him scaping the barnacles off of his Dinghy."
Was this really in a Carson monologue? Or just on the Simpsons?
Anyways, that one goes out to ol' Sergeant Pituch.

Yesterday, I took the car and drove north out of the city on Highway 1 & 99. It runs right up the coast. I got up to Squamish and then came back. I made a quick stop in Porteau Cove, half way between Vanc. and Squamish. More pics to come. -Ryan

After 3 days of being here, this is what my fridge looked like. Fear not, I did make it out today to do some grocery shopping.

Ever wonder what those crane operators do up there for fun? Look closely. I originally went out on the balcony to take some pics from the condo. Being on the 23rd floor, I found myself at eye level with this crane next door.

French Cannonball

«« prev next »»



At the corner of rue Saint-Louis and du Corps de Garde, in Quebec City, a tree had grown around this cannonball.
-shot by Melissa (the photo...not the cannonball. We don't know who shot it originally)
Update: From Frommers: Lodged at the base of the trunk, one story says that the cannonball landed here during the War of 1759 and over the years became firmly embraced by the tree. Another story says that it was placed here on purpose to keep the wheels of horse-drawn carriages from bumping the tree when making tight turns.

At The Beach With Chopper

Sitting in my beach chair with a book and a beer, I looked up and saw this wonderful scene. I ran and got my camera. I gotta admit, though, I had to throw that stick a lot just to get the dog to stay right there.
