Ridin' The Artwork

Righty ho slowly. This is our first entry in our newly commissioned blog (do they have a spell check in here?). Both of us are finding it difficult to keep up with the requests for updates from far and asunder so we figure that having a centralised place to throw up generic rantings and the odd photograph might be the best way to go. The truth of the matter is that its February in Vancouver and the winter nights are feeeeerse long and theres not much else to do in north america but blog. Its so bad that Maeve has taken up knitting...... Blogging is the techie equivalent of knitting anyways so we won't get too freaked.

Its been a busy couple of days for me in particular trying to organise M's SUPPLIES 30th birthday party on Saturday night. Altho in fairness I had a load of help from Lori, Ciara and Jackie who picked up the cake and the balloons. It went off without a hitch and I think M enjoyed and was thoroughly SUPPLIESED. We hired a room in a lovely little place in gastown called the water street cafe where there was a load of our brand new friends - so new in fact a lot of them still had that new friend smell - and we ate and we drank for Ireland. here's a photo of M with the very photogenic proprietor and featuring a cameo by the birthday cake.......

Then off we went en masse down the street - stopping to take some photos with homeless people - to the irish heather bar where we drank and drank. and drank. twas a great night altogether rounded off by a trip to the railway bar and a spin home in a "taxi" smaller than a fiat punto which smelled strongly of illegality and was driven by the worlds most unqualified and worst taxi "driver". he had his photo ID swipe card from his job as a binman around his neck and he was trying to pass it off as official taxi driver id. i tried taking a photo of M, Louise and Stephen's pot heads squashed into the back - one of the funniest things i have ever seen - but alas the guys driving was SO bad I couldn't get an in focus shot (ahem). but to balance the photo tally and also to give some indication of the fun that was had that night......... here's a photo of me ridin' the art downstairs in our posh apartment on our way to bed at some ridiculous time of the morning. have you ever seen a more unimpressed bullock?
