But WOW! Did we ever appreciate the heck out of Nickelback last week! Maybe it’s partly because these are Alberta boys from just down the QEII and around the corner. But maybe it’s just that they are that good live.

I live for music, travelling and social justice... not necessarily in that order, but often all at the same time.
All That Glitters is ‘Golden’: Harry Styles Love on Tour
Seeing Harry and Inhaler twenty years later at Slane felt like it would be a perfect closure to that story. Finally experiencing Slane. Finally seeing Harry for the first time. Finally seeing Inhaler for the first time. And, well, there are some concerts that demand you see them more than once.

Let’s Go, Girls: Shania Twain’s The Queen of Me Tour

There is an instant familiarity and openness amongst the participants of events like these – built upon shared interests of the show, for sure, but after 15 years of that show, and 12 or so of the convention circuit, even if it’s your first convention, or you only just started watching the show and diving a bit into the fandom – there are welcoming arms if you want them. A family if and when you need it.
In The Arms of an Angel: Doing Things and Breathing at the Vancouver Supernatural Convention
In addition to the new fact, as my friend said, that my life now includes the words “Jensen wrapped his arms around me,” the Supernatural Vancouver convention was particularly magnificent. As with the other three I’ve been too, we laughed ‘til tears ran down our cheeks, we cried, we sang, we danced. We met old friends and made new ones.
One Night With You: Michael Bublé in Concert
Ok, well, wow – that voice, first of all. That voice. Seriously, what an amazing, beautiful, smooth voice. This must be what velvet sounds like.
