Getting ready for Las Vegas

November 7, 2007 by Tricia

Speaking of Ugly Betty … I’ve kind of felt like her over the last two weeks as I’ve been busy buying new clothes for my trip and well, just because I really did need some new clothes!

Around home a t-shirt and sweat pants are just fine and since I’ve been quite the home body since I got really sick two years ago I haven’t been updating my wardrobe all that much. I really haven’t had to … until now.

I must say that it’s a little intimidating to go into a clothing store when you feel a little out of touch with what’s in fashion these days!

If I was just going to the blogging conventions in Vegas I wouldn’t worry about it all that much, but on Saturday night the Bl0ggers Ch0ice Awards are being held in the TAO nightclub which of course is a hot celebrity night spot and very trendy … so I’ve got to look the part.

I think I managed to do ok shopping and what I’ll be wearing should be acceptable. I think that’s the only place that we’ll be going that I’ve really got to worry about my appearance in any great way. You don’t have to really dress up for the casinos do you? It sure doesn’t look like it when I watch shows like CSI Las Vegas.

Oh and when I looked up what kind of temperature Las Vegas would be in November last month I read that it’s usually only about 65 F during the day and mid 50’s at night … well, I checked the weather there earlier today it was 78F and right now it’s 82F … so much for those nice sweaters I bought. I’ll have to be sure to pack some t-shirts now!

Anyone have any quick Vegas tips for me?

I’ve already been warned by a nurse that just came back from Vegas to NOT wear my contacts while I’m there since the air is so dry. Well that won’t happen! I’ll be wearing my contacts on Saturday at the very least.

BTW I’m still sick! More on that later!

SourceTix.com has tickets for events throughout North America

October 18, 2007 by Tricia

I think it’s always a great idea to know of a few online sites where you can find tickets to major events. SourceTix.com is definitely a site to check out.

SourceTix.com offers a comprehensive inventory of Theatre Tickets, concert tickets, and sports tickets.

The site has recently been redesigned. I’m not familiar with it’s former layout, but I found SourceTix.com’s current layout to be quite easy to use. There are menu buttons under the page header that will take site visitors directly to the sites home page, sports, concert or theater ticket listing sections. There’s also a menu on the left side of the page with expanded listings for each of the main ticket categories and a search box.

I actually like the fact that visitors can easily search for event tickets by city. It appears that visitors can search for tickets pretty much anywhere in North America.

As someone who’s going to be traveling to another city in the near future I appreciate the ability to search for tickets throughout North America. Who knows, perhaps I’ll spend some time on the site and see if I can find tickets for some events in Las Vegas in November. I’d love to see one of the shows in Vegas while I’m there.

You’ll be able to find tickets for upcoming future events and even to sold out or hard to get events. For example, I live in Toronto and even thought the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team isn’t doing so hot games are almost always sold out. They have a strong fan base and it’s always hard to get tickets. I checked the listings for the leafs and SourceTix.com has tickets for Saturday and other future games! Unbelievable.

I just told my husband and he had me check for tickets for a game which should be popular with the fans – the Toronto Maple Leafs Vs. Montreal Canadiens November 13th and yes, there are tickets. That impressed my husband to no end.

When searching for concert or theater tickets you can search by top sellers, top venues, by specific locations such as Broadway, off Broadway and in other ways.

No matter what your entertainment interests are SourceTix.com is a site to bookmark and keep in mind the next time you want to go to an event.

Oh and at this time SourceTix.com is offering a 2007 promotion for 5% off tickets. Just use the following code “source07” when you order tickets.

PMbuzz – a NYC site for the Nightlife Community

October 18, 2007 by Tricia

If you live in New York City and you’d like to keep up with what’s happening in the clubs you should head over to PMbuzz.com. This is a site that was built for the nightlife community. Club goers, DJ’s, Entertainers, and Club owners/ managers can network.

Promoters can create listings for their nightclubs or upcoming events on PMbuzz. People are always looking for new nightclubs to visit. If you list your club on PMbuzz you can post photos of your club, discuss it’s features and connect with potential patrons.

Entertainers and DJ’s can create their own PMbuzz page for themselves to highlight their own upcoming events within the NYC community. Fans can connect with their favorite DJ’s and Entertainers as well as keep track of their latest gigs.

Club goers will love this site. They can connect with friends, post photos and videos, create blogs and keep up with the latest events and make plans to connect with friends at the various clubs or trendy events. You can even blast a message to all your friends to tell them about the latest hot spot that you’ve discovered or to give them details on where to meet up. Since DJ’s can upload their latest material club goers can listen to new beats before the rest of the nightclub community gets to hear them in the clubs.

Just like any social network everyone can interact with one another. PMbuzz is a site based on user driven content meaning registered members are who makes the site work. The site is what you make it.

PMbuzz is definitely a site to check out if you enjoy NYC nightlife.

A whirlwind of a weekend!

September 4, 2007 by Tricia

Sorry that I haven’t been posting over the last few days. We had our family reunion from Friday until earlier this afternoon and I’m just exhausted!

On Friday we went to see the Blue Jays play a game of baseball against the Seattle Mariners. Of course the Blue Jays won the game. 10 of us attended the game that day.

That day I’d wanted to get downtown a little earlier because some of the cast of Heroes was in town and they were doing some presentation at Dundas Square. I didn’t make it to that, but much to my surprise the four cast members that were in town went to the baseball game! I took some photos and I’ll be making a post on my Celebrity blog shortly with a few of the photos included. So I did get to see some Heroes after all. Pretty cool.

The next day we, 15 of us, went on a dinner boat cruise on Lake Ontario. We had a great meal and I’ve got some fantastic photos of the cities skyline at sunset that I took from the boat. Just beautiful. If you ever come to Toronto I highly recommend going on a dinner boat cruise. It was a lot of fun.

On Sunday we went to my brothers in Aurora, Ontario for a BBQ. I think there were 24 or 26 of us that day. I’d lost count by that point! We had a great day together. My niece brought a game called Washer Toss with her to the BBQ. It had been my parents washer toss boards that we’d always played with when visiting them in Ottawa. Most of us hadn’t played for at least four years so it was an interesting tournament! My sister in law and my nieces husband ended up being the big champs of the day, but my nephew and I came in second. Yes I can throw washers! LOL

Lets see, I’m so tired I’m trying to remember just what we did yesterday … Oh yes … My brother from Vancouver, his son, and his daughter and her boyfriend went to the Hockey Hall of Fame while my sister in law came over to our house. Chris and I took my sister in law to Toronto’s beach area and we had a great time walking on the boardwalk, watching volleyball games and eating ice cream.

Later that evening we all met up again at a downtown restaurant for dinner. Man that restaurant had huge servings! Every single thing I ordered I only ate part of and brought the rest home in a doggy bag. We had my left overs for dinner tonight.

Today was the final day that any of us could get together. My brother from Vancouver, his wife, son, daughter and her boyfriend were going back to Vancouver at 7 pm this evening, but they had the day to get together with whoever was available. Luckily Chris had today off work so we met up with them and went to an art gallery where one of my nephews had some of his photos on display. Since that was around lunch time my sister who lives and works in the downtown area was able to get together with us to see my nephews work and then we went and have some coffee and tea together before dropping her off a her office again.

We then went to the beach area again so those who didn’t go yesterday could see how lovely the area was. Around mid afternoon we had a nice lunch on an outdoor patio on the Beaches – complete with more left over food to bring home. Why do restaurants have such huge servings?

After that we lead my brother towards the highway so he could head back to the airport area to return their vehicle and check in to await their flight.

Can you see why I’m tired? I’m totally wiped out! I have to recover though ’cause my birthday’s on Thursday and I’m sure we’ll be doing something that day too.

I’ll be processing all the photos that I took over the weekend (probably 500!) on the computer and posting some soon. Stay tuned as there are some spectacular shots!

What did you do over the holiday weekend?

The concert was fabulous

August 20, 2007 by Tricia

Well my husband went to the Rick Wakeman concert last night with the kind man who saw my post and gave him a ticket absolutely free of charge.

He said it was amazing. Chris wouldn’t stop talking about the concert for at least an hour when he got home. I’ve nicknamed my husband SirTalkaLot so you can imagine the barrage of babble I found myself listening to. LOL

He had last week off work and had to go back to work today so I kept telling him just to settle down so he’d be able to sleep. He didn’t. He’s a musician as well so he had the chords going through his head and as a result of being so hyped up he didn’t sleep well.

I’m glad he’s so happy, but I swear sometimes it’s like living with a teenager!
