I am glad to hear that your present concern is not about money, rev prince, but moreso about the tidy nature of your most prize possession your home. I will be keeping it most cleanliness for you. In return, kind prince, I only ask that you take pity on my present situation and make acceptions for my rental fee, at present I can pay only $5 a month.

For some reason, I never did hear back from the honourable Rev. Prince Miracle. Strange. Now if only the Nigerian prince who wants to wire his $10 Billion dollar inheritance into my bank account would write back to me...

Indie I Do


I've been following the lotus events blog for a while now, and recently became aware of the Indie I Do show that they are producing in January. As "Vancouver's First Alternative Wedding Show," Indie I Do is setting up to be the most interesting indie show in Vancouver over the next little while. I'm not engaged (yet! hint hint Karlo are you reading this?), but I will definitely be attending this show.

From their Facebook event page:
"Indie I Do is an alternative to the cookie cutter wedding where one size does not fit all. The first show of its kind in Canada, Indie I Do revolutionizes an industry that is dominated by commercial products and provides couples with the opportunity to think outside the box.

The indie wedding market is almost non-existent as couples often have to search high and low to find the products and services that will help create a wedding day full of personal touches without an unnecessary price tag to go with it. Indie I Do is a one-stop show featuring the non-traditional alongside the traditional.

While the show will naturally attract couples looking at completely non-traditional weddings, the intent is to also introduce those couples with more traditional events to unique touches and alternatives that they can incorporate into their events.

Tickets are $15.00 in advance and $20.00 at the door. Please visit www.indieido.com for more information or email info@indieido.com"

I'm sure this show is going to be fantastic, so if you're getting married or know someone getting married, spread the word about this alternative to the normal, run of the mill wedding show. Supporting Indie culture all the way!

"I'm blogging!"

I wish I had more time to write an actual post right now, but alas time is limited for me these days. So instead I will leave you with this. Kate Trgovac tweeted this yesterday and it made me laugh!
