Cavendish Beach Music Festival







What a wild weekend. Cavendish Beach Music Festival --the Taylor Swift concert was good, although I didn't stay for the entire thing. It was a long day of non-stop meeting people coming into the concert. We had cut-outs of Taylor Swift and Keith Urban that people could take a picture with. We definately made the most noise out of all of the radio stations there. :)




At the end of the night, we stayed for a couple of Taylor Swift songs, and then Brittany the summer student and I were walking back to the KROCK truck, when I got these security guards to take some photos of the concert. A guy came up to me and said, "you should take a picture of her" I said "who?" He said "Kelly" So I got Brittany to go over, and I took her picture with her, we said hello. Then I took a picture of the KROCK fan with Kelly, and then Kelly walked away! I didn't get my photo, but no biggie. It was a lot of fun. Now today we are back at the Festival, it is pouring rain, but Lady Antebellum plays tonight.

It Reminds Me of Englewood

The heat wave that is in Ontario has spread to Prince Edward Island, but with a big difference. No smog, a constant breeze, and even though it is hot and humid it isn't nearly as hot and humid as Norfolk. It also cools down at night. Last night I went for a walk late at night, (11pm--that is how safe it is in Charlottetown) and it reminded me of when I was a kid in Englewood Florida. A warm breeze with the smell of salt water, and it was just beautiful.

Tomorrow is the Cavendish Beach Music Festival. I will take photos and put them up on the weekend. This concert is HUGE.

Working 7 days a Week!

I have been crazy busy this week, and really haven’t had the chance to see any sights. With ratings coming up in September, I have a lot of work to do in every department. Luckily I have a good group of people to work with, all of who seem keen to make things better. Refreshing. :)
The Cavendish Beach Music Festival started yesterday, so I am doing the drive home show so that Myles can go down (or up?) to Cavendish to be at the booth. We have t-shirts to give away, and Regis and Kelly tickets, so it’s pretty exciting. I will make sure I put a photo up on the weekend, our t-shirts are BRIGHT orange with the K-ROCK logo. I am excited to go, it is going to be a great atmosphere. It will be cool to hear Taylor Swift perform, I guess I could go watch too- we have unlimited access on the grounds, just no back stage.

I still have no cable/internet, the stupid cable people continue to say 8a-5p. The guy came on Monday and of course I was in the middle of meetings. So I watch Will&Grace on DVD, the CBC news, and I listen to music.

I have lost more weight while I have been here, which has resulted in better run times. I still haven’t joined a gym, and I must before the ab’s Wanda helped me build disappear.

Charlottetown Summerfest!


Got to introduce Canadian Rocker Matt Mays on stage last night. Super cool. He was amazing, and after he rocked out the crowd, I managed to get him to sign my cd's, we chatted a bit, and took a picture. I was smiling like an idiot. :) Then Bachman&Turner were on stage--but I had to go home-I had to work in the morning. Lot's of fun. Amazing weekend with KROCK.

CRAZY SECOND WEEK--AND IT ISN"T EVEN OVER YET!











Monday-Did not get cable installed, missed the cable guy. Blah. It is going to be impossible because I am not home between the hours of 8a-5p! Seriously, cable company--anytime between 8a-5p? That is a bit BROAD in spectrum for time. Went for a run. Slept like I was hit with a frying pan.




Tuesday-Another full day of everything KROCK. Love it. Then went with the gang out to Burlington Amusement Park. Go-Karts-Bumper Cars-Bumper Boats-Mini Putt. Have not idea where exactly I was. About 45 minutes somewhere outside of Charlottetown. LOL. Didn't drive so I am not sure exactly where I was. Had a blast! Made out with Bandit the Fox-the park's mascot.
Wednesday-14 hour day at work. Getting music worked on. So much to do! Stayed for our Soccer team of the week. Was reminded why I like children, but I like it more when they go home with their parents. lol. It was fun, we give them pizza and pop, and the staff plays games with them. Had a slighty different person try to get me to be a born again while waiting for the bus. Seriously where do I go to get away from the different people while waiting for a bus! He was harmless, showed me his Hell's Angels tatoo's. Gave me a pamphlet on how I can save myself. I saved myself later by eating chocolate, and said thank you to mother earth for making cocoa beans.
Thursday-Happy Canada Day! Going to the biggest Canada Day fireworks in the Maritimes. Worked this morning on air. Back to work later in the day. It is sunny and beautiful today. City is crazy busy!
