Canvas to the Imagination

Looking for things to do this weekend? How about either of these:
Dusk Dances in Stanley Park
Aeriosa Dance Company at the Main Branch Library. (Scroll down for details)

Thanks to Siobhan for the heads up about Dusk Dances. I used to look forward to their performances in Toronto every summer and had no idea they were in town.

I decided to enter a photo contest being run by a new data storage company called PutPlace. They are looking for photos of people making the kind of face one makes when suddenly confronted with a major loss of data. I know I would be absolutely horrified (as evidenced by my photo) and also devastated if I lost any of my best photographs and didn’t have a backup… I suppose I would actually look a lot less campy and over-the-top if it actually happened.

The contest closes on July 31st, and the winner gets a one year subscription for 100 GB of data storage at PutPlace.com and a $200 USD Amazon gift certificate.

Just four more days until the Camp Moomba Yogathon and Blissfest I am participating in at Thunderbird Stadium. I decided to re-post something about this because my original entry may have been missed a few weeks ago when the RSS feed wasn’t working.

The yogathon means a 108 minute long session of yoga for the thousands of people who participate. The funds raised through the event go towards sending children whose lives have been affected by HIV/AIDS to Camp Moomba, to give them a chance at a normal summer of fun. This will be my third time participating, and it’s something I look forward to taking part in every summer if I can. Last year we did the yogathon in heavy rain, which was not something I was expecting to enjoy as much as I did.

If you can please help me reach my fundraising goal. At the moment I am 76.67% of the way there (according to gifttool).
