Another interesting video (actually 2!) that were brought to my attention from Open Culture.
Kirby Ferguson has put together half of a 4 part series called Everything is a Remix. The first focusing on music, mainly Led Zepplin and the second on movies, mainly Star Wars.
Both are really interesting and not surprising when he points out the obvious:

Football - Movie Style
I spied this on Open Culture, it's how the Superbowl would look if directed by a number of well known Directors: Quentin Tarantino, David Lynch, Wes Anderson, Werner Herzog and Jean-Luc Godard.
I think my favorites are by Anderson and Herzog.

Yoink!
From one of my many guilty pleasures I stumbled across this video.
It seems even John Stewart has Beiber Fever:

Shivering Songs Festival
Last Saturday Greg and I went to the first (hopefully annual) Shivering Songs Festival at Wilmot Church.
There was a song writers circle in the afternoon that David Myles hosted - Grant Lawrence, Snailhouse, Gianna Lauren, and Heat & Lights preformed. It was my first song writers circle in person, I've only ever heard them on CBC Canada Live so it was a treat in person!
The inside of the church is beautiful!
From the outside you wouldn't expect so much pretty!
Later on in the evening we went back to the church to see the Olympic Syphonium with Issac and Blewett and Catherine Mclellan. It's not a great photo but this is Olympic Syphonium with Issac and Blewett, they were so great!
The folks who put on the show are hopeful to put it on in years to come, my fingers are crossed!

Relish - Not Just a Condiment
On Friday Greg and I had our first taste at Relish.
I was surprised at how small the spot was but it was certainly big enough for us. Offering a small town diner feel where customers are greeted as they walk through the door "Welcome to RELISH, Welcome!" with shouts from the employees (who seem less than stoked to be hollering, but are having a decent time I would assume).
There is more shouting when your order is up, "we relish Greg!" was announced and two piping hot skillets were on the counter waiting for us to pick them up. If you're wondering why my name wasn't also called it was because being the gentleman Greg is he paid for my meal as well.
Here I am, with the standard pre-meal pose. I really need to work on something new. What's with my thumbs up?!:
Despite the half hearted attempt at thumbs up the meal was really tasty. I got the L.A. is my Lady, topped with avocado, roasted peppers and basil. I opted for no goat cheese but I have since learned that I can eat goat cheese - AMAZING!
All in all it was an Om Nom Nom good time.
