U2 Moncton - 360 Tour Random Footage - One

Now a great memory, bringing U2 to Moncton obviously started as a deam for someone. Mud and rain aside, this world class event, by all accounts was a huge success. Even the likes of U2 made some new fans during the past couple of days. I know because I'm one of them. This song in particular hit home for me. So much so that I've put together a "dream theme" video using some random footage from the concert along with an acoustic cover of "One". I hope you enjoy!

U2 on Magnetic Hill - World Class Event

The U2 360 Tour Grand Finally at the Magnetic Hill Concert Site in Moncton NB, Canada was by most observations, a world class event. The "EVENT" featured every thing from an F18 Fly By to an out of this world conversation-collaboration with Mark Kelly floating weightless in the international space station. Heavy rains didn't seem to dampen enthusiasm and most fans were prepared for the ensuing mud fest. Bono made a lot of new fans and reconnected with old ones. The U2 segment was more of a love in than the typical high energy rock show Atlantic Canadian Fans have become accustomed to. All said, most people seem to enjoy the spectacle with the exception of those life long complainers. You know who you are, "laugh out lowd", as I was with one of them.

Way to go Atlantic Canada! We Rock!

Insurance Elevator Pitch - A Keeper

Sometimes a catchy phrase just sticks with you. The fact that my brother Doug kept it going over the years has certainly helped but I can still hear this disability insurance salesman's deep radio style voice; "The president of the company says" and then the pitch. After quickly going through a long list of qualifying questions, he would ask; "do you want to hear the good news?" Of course we do was the expected reply. "You Qualify". If anyone knows the name of this Combine Insurance Agent that would have been travelling around the Fredericton area back in the 1980s, please refresh my memory as we'd like to give him credit.

Today, the elevator pitch is more of a story and not so polished. All said, what is your elevator pitch? We'd love to hear it or one that you like to remember from back in the day.

Hidden Paridise

Sunsets & Sunrises that will leave you breathless...

Both vacationers and seasonal campers describe Silver Sands as a "hidden paridise". Most lots have an ocean view and are more than double the size of the average campground. Vacationers from around the world have visited with many returning year after year. Silver Sands is located just outside of Cape Pele NB in the centre of Atlantic Canada and is approximately 30 minutes from the hub city of Moncton NB, the Nova Scotia boarder and the Confederation Bridge to Prince Edward Island. While lots are fully serviced, washrooms and showers are available to all. Most importantly, Silver Sands features a beaultiful private beach with gorgeous sunsets and even more beautiful sunrises for the early riser.

The approach that Halifax City Counsel is taking at this late point in the game is laughable.

2011 RHS Grad Assembly Floyd Tribute

The Pink Floyd title, "Time" was very fitting for the last assembly of the 2010 - 2011 RHS Students. Riverview High School Grade 12 Students Pierce McAllister, Matt Jenkins (Base) and Grade 11 students Josh Parkinson (Drums) & Richard White (Keys) teamed up with 2010 graduate Nick McAllister, whose guitar sounded a lot like David Gilmore's, in the RHS Floyd's tribute. Lead vocalist Pierce McAllister recently received accolades for penning a song for the 2011 NB Safe Grad winning video. Guitarist, Matt & Drummer Josh were also involved in the project.
