Off to Northern Voice!

Post ImageWe leave tonite for Vancouver where we’ll spend tomorrow at Moose Camp and Saturday at Northern Voice. Megan’s flight is a little earlier than mine and Dickson’s but that’s okay. I know I have mentioned this already, but I’m really looking forward to the conference – last year was great, so I have high expectations for this one too. I probably won’t be bringing all the audio equipment like I did last year, but that’s okay, because Podcast Spot isn’t ready yet anyway!

The next few days will be very much related to the conference in terms of posting, so be prepared! Happy Birthday to Andrea and everyone else that I will miss this weekend, hope the party is lots of fun and rated G! In case you’re wondering, we get back into Edmonton late on Sunday evening.

Registered for Northern Voice 2006

Post ImageI finally got around to registering for Nothern Voice 2006, taking place in Vancouver on February 10th and 11th. The second day is a “regular” conference day with scheduled sessions and speakers while the first day is called Moose Camp, a self-organized conference (attendees plan the day). I am really looking forward to the conference for two main reasons – last year was great, and the list of attendees already looks amazing. Moose Camp should be pretty interesting too, and am I hoping to take part in some fashion.

Megan and I are returning attendees, and this year Dickson is joining us too. The three of us will be in Vancouver from the 9th until the 12th. We don’t really have any solid plans for evenings or the 12th, so if you want to get together let us know! Worst case we’ll do “the tourist thing” on Sunday like we did last year.

See you there!

2005 Vancouver Fringe Festival

Post ImageI quite enjoyed the Edmonton Fringe Festival this summer, and I am looking forward to next years. We’re not the only city with a Fringe though, and Darren is blogging this year’s Vancouver Fringe Festival:

Last night I went to the Fringe Preview Gala. Not only did I see excerpts from a bunch of shows, but I also grilled artists and staff alike for their favourites. Here’s a quick run-down of what looks promising…

If you’re in Vancouver or you’re going to be, you should check it out! You can see Darren’s list of promising shows (as well as some more in the comments) here.
