Ok, I know this is a little late. This past Easter, Mark and I met up with our friends in Ottawa (our soon-to-be home!) to head to Montreal for a little party. “Little” as in us and 15,000 of our closest friends. Boy-boy squishee-squishee.

But also boy-girl squishee-squishee, as this was a predominantly straight event. Bal en Blanc is a white party thrown every Spring, and it was a Superhero theme this year. We had an awesome time, and Offer Nissim fucking rocked the house. He’s my current favorite event DJ by a long shot - look at how he freaks out and totally gets into it.. he himself, is a show. If you ever have a chance to see Offer - preferably at a large event like this one - GO. Mya also did a great live performance… I’ve enhanced the audo in that section with the mp3 of the track, as the bass was distorting the recording and her vocals matched up almost perfectly.

We decked ourselves out in white, and themed our outfits with Superhero logos. I was the Flash, Mark was the Green lantern, and Andre was… the Green Arrow? The others were just white, I think.

Anyhow, we had a “bal.” Looking forward to more big, fun parties once we’re 100 minutes from Montreal.

PS: If anyone has the version of Bronski Beat - “Why” that is playing in the last section of this video, please send it my way… I haven’t been able to find it anywhere. I’d love you forever.

*Filmed on a Nokia N95 camera phone*

While I certainly didn’t plan on creating a vlog entry for this, when the booze comes out, sometimes the camera phone isn’t far behind.  The footage is a bit spastic, but we were as well. :)

Had a great time in NY with my Vancouver friends, and got to catch up with some close friends of mine that moved there.

Filmed on an N73.  And you guessed it, that naked individual is Amanda Lepore (see her on Tyra for a kick).

Six of us took a long weekend and flew down to Vegas to celebrate John’s birthday.  We had a ball…. here’s the video of the first night.  That city… is fun.

I haven’t done much self-filming video commentary quite yet, so you’ll notice some fun captions instead.  Perhaps I’ll get my act together like super-vlogger Tony Hayden, buck up and do a little self-filming… though I gotta hand it to him, it’s a lotta work.. but he’s all-pro.   And you look a little crazy, too.

And yes.. this whole thing was filmed on my Nokia N73 phone.

Hope you enjoy… we did. :)

Another random video snippet… discussing what we might call a combination product of our 2 favorite foods.

I decided I should post some of these old video snippets.. random fun ones that don’t really compile into anything, but hold some fun memories.  Like Dave’s comments about the photographers at his first pride parade.  Oh Dave… you’re a monster.

So I suppose that aside from more compliled video blog entries, you might expect some of these random ones.

We headed out to Salt Spring Island to spend some time with Rob before he moves. Took a bit of video with my N73 (which I’ll have a review of, soon). Still getting used to taking video instead of photos, but I put a little something together to remember the weekend.

Best of luck, Rob!

I’ve been talking about vlogging for a while… it was only a matter of time before I could find a phone that would allow me to vlog without carrying some sort of additional camera around. I can’t say where this effort is gonna go content-wise, so I’m just gonna let it become what it becomes.

Just what I need… another medium where I can expose myself. :)
