My two companies (Syntric & October17 Media) are sponsoring a charity wine auction next week. This is our second year on the sponsorship panel and I'm really excited to share with you that they've already received double last years fund raising dollars in wine & kind contributions.
Anyhow, it's not to late to donate! Minimum donations for the auction is wine of a $50+ value. All funds raised will go directly to Big Sisters of BC Lower Mainland.

LOCATION: OPUS BAR

TIME: 5:00 to 8:00pm
It's almost summer and it's beer festival time!
I'm thinking about organizing a group to go to the 2008 Canada Cup of Beer July 5th! I've contacted them to see if I can get a group rate. If you want to go, let me know, I'm hoping we can do a massive 30+ person group beer party.
(I'll explain the parsley in a little bit). It's like Christmas around here.
Remember how we had all our stuff stolen out of our car garage on easter weekend? Well, our insurance has granted us the ability to purchase like or kind goods. Minus the $500 deducible and any upgrades that we want, it's pay for. See? House insurance is worth the money! Helped us out when we got screwed.
I'd like to propose a new tradition. 'Sunday Sessions' at The Whip Gallery Restaurant. Who concurs?
Seriously. Summer's coming, they have a patio, they serve yam fries, it's the day before we start the work week and.. (as if you needed one more reason) Granville Island creates a 'special' beer just for that restaurant every Sunday! Yep, unique one-of-a-kind cask beers just for The Whip Restaurant!
The cask is opened at 4pm every Sunday. Last sunday they had a Ginger Beer.
Ok, you're still not convinced to take part in Sunday sessions? Sigh, you're a hard sell. Well, if you're a local they offer a 15% locals discount on lunch and dinner. Nuff' said!
Want to go? Email me, I'll meet you there.
I tell no lies. My life is wayyyy less stressful because of 5 minutes well spent. And this stress-free living will last two more full years and only cost me the bargain price of $89.95 USD! It's probably even saving me money with the amount of work time I'm able to recoup.

I want to snorkel in Jelly Fish Lake, Palau.
I have decided that my next vacation (after Bali) will be here. I know it will cost me a ton but I just don't give a damn. You can get their from Guam or Manilla. (Flying to Honolulu to Guam or Japan to Guam / Manilla).
Today (I went yesterday, Saturday April 19th, 2008) I was in Sears on Robson in Vancouver and was buying a tube of Clinique deep comfort body cream and the lady informed me that if I 'pre-ordered' the cream instead of buying it now I could get a free 'Clinique Bonus'. So, esentially I couldn't buy the product now (even though it was in stock), I had to come back between April 25th and May 13th to pick up my order. If I did, I'd get:
Total value: $90 (It's totally worth it)!!
