Winter Blues
"What is your favourite season?" Classic question for first dates. A quick google search tells me that thirty-one percent of the population would tell you the best answer: Summer.

GRASSROOTS: The Season Is Not Over
Despite being in the middle of nowhere and about 3 hours out of my comfort zone, the day started off really well. The guys from Lethal Injection can pretty much tear it up anywhere.

EVENT: Bigfoot Bash 2010; Day Two
I awoke early Saturday morning to bright sunlight glaring in my eyes, a far cry from the previous day's chilly weather and overcast sky.
