Rod Stewart Concert

Tiffany gave us floor tickets to see Rod Stewart.  We went after work.  He put on a good show! People were standing up for most of the show!  We got home around 11:30pm.  :-)  

Stars On Ice 2009 @ Pengrowth Saddledome

Tiffany, Roy, Chris and I went to see Stars On Ice on Friday night.

We had east side floor seats (centre ice)!  They allowed compact camera without flash, so Roy and I took some photos with his Canon G10.

The whole show was awesome!  All skaters were great!  Shawn Sawyer did back flip a few times!

My favourite skaters are still Jamie Salé & David Pelletier!  Jamie was hanging on to David only by her ankles around his neck while they were spinning - no hands!!!

Baby It's Cold Outside...

Watched Elf on TV today and thought "Baby It's Cold Outside" totally fits the winter wonderland theme here in Calgary! It's -22c!

Neil Diamond - I'm A Believer

For Roy & Tiffany:

The Tudors

Since we just got home from a vacation, we didn't feel like going anywhere this long weekend. So, we finally watched the Tudors - the full first season! We highly recommend this TV series. It's time well wasted! :-)

Tom Petty - "Free Falling"

During the song "Free Falling" cigarette lighters and mobile phones illuminated the concert.

Here's a link to the song on YouTube.

Tom Petty's concern was great but I really hate the pot-smoking people behind us.

Frazier - The College Years

After work, Chris and I joined his coworkers to see the Jubilations dinner theatre show - Frazier The College Years.  We had a good time but stayed up too late to pack for tomorrow's trip to Vancouver.  We'll have to pack in the morning instead.

Stars On Ice @ Saddledome

Tonight, we went to see Stars On Ice.  We had very good seats (row 7, near centre).  The show was great!  We had lots of fun!

Divine Performing Arts Chinese Spectacular 2008

Jeanna's boss got 10 tickets for the Chinese peforming arts at Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium tonight and we are the lucky ones got invited to it.  :-)

The show had dances inspired by ancient Chinese mythology and Chinese ethnic folk dances. The show also featured classical Chinese vocal performances, instrumental music and classical Chinese dance and drums.  I've only seen this kind of performance on TV before.  It was very cool to see it live.

My favorite part of the show was the live orchestra.  It features classical Western musical instruments, as well as traditional Chinese instruments.  The live music combines the best of Western and Chinese musical instruments.

Side note: I feel old.  Hahaha... I knew the Chinese mythology and folk stories that Tiffany didn't know.

A Christmas Carol

Chris, Roy, Tiffany, and I went to see A Christmas Carol at Calgary Theatre tonight.  Roy and Tiffany didn't know the story before they went.  Roy had only heard about Scrooge from Canadian Tire commericals.  :-)

Chris and I were moved by the story even though we knew it already.  It was well played.  Dickens focused on the causes and effects of social injustice and poverty.  It made me feel we are very fortunate.
