What I Did on My Summer Vacation
The kid goes back to school tomorrow and I go back to work, regular schedule, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. I took quite a lot of holidays this summer and put them to good use.
Highlights:
- week at Lesser Slave Lake (and Conehead the dog)
- no Stampede (Eva goes solo)
- winning big Folk Fest contest and getting published in Swerve
- Folk Festival
- getting John K Samson's autograph
- starting blog
- Fringe Fest with the Marthas
Future events I'm panting over:
- George Stroumboulopoulos's lecture at the library - Sept 16
- Matt Good releases In a Coma - Sept 20
- My birthday, when I open my present (please be In a Coma, please be In a Coma) - Oct 10
- Going to Winnipeg (and then Brandon and Neepawa) for mom's birthday - 84! - Oct 14
Songs I'm currently obsessing over:
- Miracle Drug - AC Newman
- anything from Shine a Light - The Constantines (I still really really really like Young Lions, but I don't ever want to get tired of it, but National Hum, Insectivora, and Tank Commander (Hung Up in a Warehouse Town) also have very fine grooves)
- Pledge of Allegiance - Matt Good
- A Boy and His Machine Gun - Matthew Good Band
- Sit Down - James
Ooooh, and now I really feel like hearing Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah.

Thanks for reminidng me about Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah, I do have to remember to find that somewhere!!
Martha WolfHeart
Yeah, that's a good version - very hearfelt. The name of the album is Grace.
Rufus Wainwright's is also good, in that whiney Rufus way. (Don't get me wrong, I think that whine is endearing).
John K. Samson's autograph! *drooools*
So true, Melody. He is adorable. I've got pics of John from when I was stalking him on my folk festival post from July, if you want to check them out.
Hello, Just wandering the blogosphere and happened on your blog. I like the way how you have put it all together. I'll be coming back again.
Regards,
