Lady Daisey and Batsauce -- FREE Concert at Capones Restaurant

Sometimes it really pays to accept some advertising. Way back when, Capones had a do to rustle up some business via social media with a pre-re-opening event for Vancouver Tweeters. I was into the Twitter scene then and attended, and ended up signing up for their e-mail newsletter. They haven't flooded me with stuff, but there were definitely a few each season, with such interesting offers as half-price pizza nights.

The latest to hit my inbox was free tickets (probably for estimated headcount and/or crowd control on event night) to an in-house concert by touring indie soul-music songstress Lady Daisey (of course also on Myspace).

You can hear extended samples of her astonishingly catchy feel-good fuzzy-warm tunes on her website.

Not to say local jazz talent is second-rate, but this lady is a cut above.

It's absolutely amazing what comes by free nowadays.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en

Meet Melissa Gaines and her blurry sexy pics

Oh boy! I had no sooner finished posting about the lovely Taylor Burch responding to my personals ad on Craigslist when Melissa Gaines (e-mailing from erikmcclure858@yahoo.com) mailed me a couple more pictures of her lithe body and selling her profile on the same looks-like-a-phishing-scam site (http://craigslistsafe.net/profiles/melx3/). One of them was an NSFW naked-breasts pic which I haven't posted here (sorry -- but honestly, nothing to write home about, especially with the serious bikini tan lines).

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.
