Vancouver: Day 4

Day 4 – Friday

Side note: I figured out how to rig a white-noise maker! So here's what you do if you're ever staying in a hotel with a lack of (loud) white-noise: take the radio and turn it to an AM station with very even static; crank the volume and place it underneath a pillow with blankets on top! BAM! Constant, even white-noise all night! :D Needless to say, I've been sleeping pretty well these past few nights now...

Anyway, long day! Manna, her friend Erin, and I went to PNE (pacific national exhibition) today! Very ‘State Fair'... yummy greasy food, games, shows, etc. First we watched a Celtic dance show, then checked out the barn animals! The baby chicks were especially fun to watch. :D

After that, we watched the Super Dogs show... also very precious! Lots of different breeds of dogs doing tricks and such. Then we checked out the Marketplace with all sorts of goodies to buy... including the ShamWow! I resisted. :)

Then around 6 pm we grabbed a spot on the grass in front of the band stage to see the Gipsy Kings. There were PILES of people there! The video below shows how crowded it was...



We left once they were done, after having been at PNE for a good 7 hours. Phew!

Manna had to stop by her studio space to get some tools, so I got to see her Letterpress!!!!!!!!!!




Tons of leading sizes! :D


Manna's business card.

Can’t believe it’s already Saturday tomorrow...
