BEARDFIST

today i go to the doctor for a routine check-up, but i want to tell you about how much fun my weekend was. kristine and i were asked to play some songs at a wedding in Vernon B.C about a month ago, so we have been practicing a whole lot. one song is an oldy. "how sweet it is" by james taylor (a bunch of singers have covered it). kristine sang and i played the drums. we had a guy play electric guitar and another guy play bass. the other song was one that kristine had written and it is really nice. the song kristine wrote is alittle more accoustic (well, accoustic guitar instead of electric, and i played with bamboo brushes instead of drumsticks). it went really well and we had alot of fun. i was alittle nervous that we were going to be playing in front of alot of people, but there was nothing to worry about, seeing-as we were not the main attraction. kristine sings at weddings alot.

i thought that just driving straight to vernon and back would be dull and boring, so we took the long/fun way. starting out, we went and stayed the night in cranbrook with kristine's mum. we watched "hot fuzz" at the theatre that night and it was good fun. it was tuesday night, so we also watched "house" on tv. the next day we set out for Trail B.C to stay with our friend Lara for a couple days. we always have alot of fun when we visit lara. she cooked us an amazing roast and invited a buttload of people over to come eat it with us at her house. we also went over to her friends house to watch "Predator" with a bunch of people, and Arnold Schwarzenegger... was in it.

we headed up to vernon and i already told you about what we did there. after the wedding, we were invited to go stay at a friends house in Revelstoke. they also made us a delicious roast (and i had some at the wedding too, that makes 3 roasts you know). and we played a nintendo wii. that was fun. oh and i checked my email on the giant tv with the wii, that was neato.

leaving revelstoke we headed straight south to Ainsworth hotsprings. we had to take a ferry to get there and another different ferry after we left. the drive down there is super curvy and kristine had fun driving through the twisties. ainsworth is so cool. i had never been to it before. there are cool tunnels that you can swim through. we found out from some old fogies that the caves were old mining tunnels in the early 1900's. they are caked in calcium (or some mineral) with stalagtite stuff all over. yeah really cool.

we left for cranbrook and caught the ferry across towards creston and ate at the Sidar pub (the old bikers showed us a short cut to kitchener... skipping creston, wooo).


i am sorry that i didnt get much for pictures, but i did get some video, so i will post it when we get back to elkford.
