Actually, it’s going to tip some cows in Duane’s hometown of Chilliwack.

The Stanley Cup pays Chilliwack a visit [today], appearing at Cottonwood Mall along with Anaheim Ducks general manager, and Chilliwack Bruins co-owner Brian Burke.

Starting from Dakota’s Restaurant at 11:30 a.m., Burke and the Stanley Cup will be joined by a number of RCMP officers who will escort him to the Mall.

Burke and the Stanley Cup will be stationed next to Rogers Wireless from noon until 3 p.m., signing autographs and posing for pictures. [Chilliwack Progress]

It’s pretty bittersweet, as I’m sure we’d all love to see the Canucks parading down Robson with the prize hoisted above their heads, but Chilliwack… close enough. For now.

Blogathon: Post #5 – Sponsor me to keep going for the Surrey Food Bank

The brews at Steamworks are pretty good but when you hang out on their patio for 4 hours on a sunny Friday afternoon, it just makes it all that much better. I met up with Corinna, Adam, Tony, Duane and Keira before the actual event of Blogstock 07. I didn’t make it to the larger get together which took place after our little group’s Steamworks meetup since I had to get up early this morning.. *cough*.

Some of the bloggers in attendance were Chad Ciavarro and Danielle Rossi, two local bloggers who have been going strong for years and would have been a pleasure to meet.

I had my Nokia 6682 to take pics in the early evening, those can all be found in the Flickr set here.

Blogathon: Post #4

From awesome geocities site

Before some silliness starts today I might as well rehash some of the silliness from last night.

While meeting up with Corinna, Adam, Tony and Duane, Keira mentioned something about Degrassi. I shouted out “The Zit Remedy!” and ever since then we’ve both had their song stuck in our heads intermittently (either that or the Expo 86 theme song).

So here they are to wake me up, Wheels, Snake and Joey… The Zit Remedy with “Everybody wants something” (listen via Myspace)

Blogathon: Post #3

I just wanted to give a shout out to everyone who has linked me leading up to this event, here’s a list of super folks all with super blogs of their own.

Thanks to Alanah for the inspiration, and JJ for the contribution (and prize) that will appear later today. The Katkam.ca photo here is for Daniel who commented looking for a Vancouver sunrise. I don’t think there are any webcams facing East but this is the #1 webcam for the city in my opinion – hopefully we’ll have some sun to show off later.

Blogathon: Post #2

Here it is! I’m wiping the sleep from my eye and settling in for the long haul. Well actually, I will get up after this and brush my teeth, probably put some coffee on and think about my next post. If you’re wondering what’s going on today, or why you’ll see SO many posts published today here’s the rundown.

I am doing a Blog-a-thon today for the Surrey Food Bank. Every 30 minutes for 24 hours I will be publishing a blog post with the hopes that people will sponsor me to keep going.

1) Tune into this blog from 6:00 am Pacific time until 6:00 am Sunday July 29th
I’ll be needing lots of inspiration so any post ideas, suggestions, photos, silly YouTube links of your cat are all welcome.

2) Click the sponsor button at the top of the sidebar

3) Sign up for a Blogathon login to pledge me – keep me going for 24 hours!

4) Blogathon will send you an email to remind you to head over to the Surrey Food Bank site to finish your pledge and donate

5) Feel warm fuzzies.

I have a couple of posts ready to go, including a few from contributors/other local bloggers. Everyone who pledges me to keep going by making a donation via Blogathon to the Food Bank will have their name put in a draw to win a prize. Prizes will be announced in a later post. Thank you everyone for your support already, and for tuning in at any point today. See you in 30 minutes!
