The Hand Cut release includes endless pillow lines in the BC interior; exposed descents in the Coast Range with ski mountaineering legend John Chilton; brilliantly shot inverts over the old wood mines on Red Mountain Pass, Colorado; and the original deep-country blues of John-Alex Mason.

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:

Coldplay Concert, July 29th, 2008 Bell Centre Montreal, Canada
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

During a quick weekend trip down to Connecticut I ended up running into someone who wanted to get rid of an old Honda CB motorcycle. This is a true “garage find” with all the original parts intact and less than 5,500 miles. This will be my 2nd vintage bike restoration, the first one being a 1978 Honda CB 550. Although I’ve been in the market for another late 70’s CB this free 1982 was just too hard to pass up!

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…
