Checked out a little British rock show with the The Kooks and the Pigeon Detectives in Montreal, Canada… it was definitely better than this one but not quite as good as that one. Here are a few photos and clips:

Although the Coldplay Show was the main reason for our venture north, the next day was spent experiencing the city of Montreal and a few of it’s touristy destinations…

Reviews:
“The standing ovation started the moment the lights dropped, and didn’t let up until the end of the encore. Cheers were deafening and singalongs were omnipresent.”
“Sometimes we go to certain towns - in England, Wales, Germany or Australia - and people don’t sing along, so we get depressed,†Martin said. “So we come here, and everyone is going for it 100 per cent, and it makes us feel fantastic.†- Mycoldplay.com

Just returned from the annual family vacation to Wells, Maine. It’s such a great way to get the whole family together. This year’s trip to Maine only included 2 events from last year’s Top 5 List however we definitely had just as much fun! Especially the late night surf session w/ my brothers (can you say “Shark Bait!”)
Below are a few shots:
Here are a few pictures from a not-so-recent trip to Boston, MA as well as some more shots of Lake Champlain. I’m not sure any of these are good enough to make the photo gallery but if you would like to nominate one feel free to leave a comment.
Here are a few pictures from this past Memorial Day weekend…
Here are a few pictures from Indian Brook Park in Essex, Vermont. Great place to let the dog get some exercise so he doesn’t cause as much damage.
Here is a collection of my most recent shots. It includes photos from from a quick trip to Sunday River Maine and the White Mountains/Lincoln New Hampshire. A moose sighting, world’s largest snowman, and simon dumont’s record quarter pipe attempt are among the highlights. The past few months have been really busy so a little behind on serving these up… enjoy!

After cracking open my old broken video camera I was able to capture a collection of somewhat raw video footage when I was doing “research” in New Zealand a few years back…

What a great way to start off 2008. Below are some of the highlights from a day of riding at Stowe, Vermont. In the morning we took advantage of the sunny groomers… in the afternoon we hiked to the summit of Mansfield and took a run down the Rock Garden.

Hope everyone had a great holiday! If you didn’t make it to this year’s party at the Jackson’s, you missed out on another exciting night with:
here are some highlights from the event (click here for the full roll of photos):
luminarias (lining the walkways)…
the kitchen…
the dining room…
the bar…
Two full time bartenders serving up a huge selection of wine, 2 kegs (magic hat and coors), soda, and a six pack of O’Doul’s if that’s your cup of tea.
signage…
the hallway…
the dessert table…
the elves…
Dressed up as elves… these two walked around the party handing out “party bags” to everyone. They were the life of the party!
reindeer poop…
Yep, that’s right…. reindeer poop. My grandparents brought over a hundred bags of reindeer poop, one for every person at the party.
a high school reunion…
hey jonesy!
the ski jump…
The 4 stories of staging were setup at thanksgiving (top of hill - not seen in this picture) and the ski jump (above) was ready by the party for anyone who dare.
santa claus himself!
“Sorry Mike… I don’t seem to have any presents for you this year”
horse shoes…
My dad built this custom horse shoe pit… installed lighting… and even plowed the back yard so we had access to the pit during the party.
overage drinking…
the caroling… (until 3am!)
the bagpiper… (if anyone has a picture of this please send it over!)
although i was unable to get a picture of the bagpiper that was playing… i’ve posted a video below of a bagpiper to give you an idea. just picture 2 elves running around handing out “reindeer poop”, a santa claus, etc…

These are two nautical terms that were defined to me through experience today. Devin’s brother Ryan took me out on his new Catamaran (sail boat) on Lake Champlain. We set out from Mallet’s Bay and within 4 minutes had successfully “Pitchpoled” and “Turtled”. The next 30 minutes were spent attempting to right the boat ourselves. An intoxicated wakeboarder driving a powerboat tried to help us out for a while but all he ending up doing was snap the single rope we had and then left us in the middle of the lake. We eventually got the boat right-side-up but it took us a couple attempts. I could go on about the strong winds and how the waves had white caps but the reality is… this is Ryan’s first summer with his Hobie Cat and as for me… well… I’m no sailer just yet… (although my extra weight was what helped get us right-side-up).
Pitchpole:
“To flip or cause to flip end over end” - TheFreeDictionary.com
Here’s an example of what a Pitchpole looks like:

Turtle:
“When a boat has turned turtle, it has capsized to the point that it’s completely upside down and rather resembles the shell of a big, wet turtle. The keel or centerboard will be pointing heavenward, while the mast will be signaling Davy Jones. (Unless you’ve turtled in shallow water, in which case the mast-cum-depth-sounder may find bottom all by itself. Two pieces of mast emerging from the water is a good indication that this has happened.) If there is such as thing as a happy capsize position, turtling is its evil twin.” - About.com
Here’s what a “turtled” boat looks like:
