    De Temps Antan at St. James Hall, Vancouver BC, 11/8/2014

    De Temps Antan rock the hell out of St. James Hall in Vancouver, BC, on November the 8th, 2014! In which the shenanigans feature feedback loops between the fiddler and the guitarist, mammoths tapdancing on my spouse’s head, and a nonzero number of musicians who didn’t escape unhugged!

  • Yet another De Temps Antan road trip: Operation SWING!

    Yet another De Temps Antan road trip: Operation SWING!

    In which De Temps Antan totally stomps all over Great Big Sea’s standing record for how many times I’m provoked to cross the border to see a band in one year. That’s right: another De Temps Antan road trip!

    De Temps Antan at the Rogue in Vancouver BC, 3/2/2014

    In which Dara and I raid the Rogue in Vancouver for our post-Festival-du-Bois De Temps Antan concert–and bring friends with us! Because De Temps Antan is too awesome NOT TO SHARE.

  • Great Big Sea at the PNE in Vancouver, 8/21/2013

    Great Big Sea at the PNE in Vancouver, 8/21/2013

    48-hour turnaround time: fastest trip I’ve done to Vancouver in some time! Possibly EVER! Because yeah, my belovedest Dara and I zoomed up to Vancouver by train on Wednesday morning, and home again on Thursday night. We crashed at the home of friends Geri and Rob, and the purpose before us was, of course, GREAT…

    Harrison Hot Springs BC July 2013 trip, Day 4: Heading home

    Not much more to report about the Harrison Hot Springs trip, but I do have enough to do a quick followup post! I’d said in the previous post that there’d been an accident at the festival. Over on Facebook, Dejah threw me a link on a local paper’s website about the accident. The Agassiz-Harrison Observer…

    Anna and Dara get Canada-married, 3/2/2012

    This being Part 2, and the biggest part by far, of my and ‘s Grand Four Day Weekend of Marriage and Music! Though that said, it was also actually one of the simplest days of the entire weekend. Here’s the thing, O Internets: if you’ve read Elfquest, you’ll know what I mean when I say…

  • Le Vent du Nord at St. James Hall in Vancouver, 3/1/2012

    Le Vent du Nord at St. James Hall in Vancouver, 3/1/2012

    As you know, O Internets, I was extremely eager for my first Le Vent Du Nord show. I’ve been getting ridiculous amounts of glee out of listening to their albums and watching their YouTube videos, and of course, I had the challenge laid down by fellow Le Vent fan Susan that in her considered opinion,…
