A la weekend

On Saturday, I offered my fire tech safety skills for Radiant Heat for their two performances at the the Parade of Lost Souls at Granview Park. The show consisted of scafolding risers with poi spinners, stilters, fire breathers, hoopers, staffers, sword fights, and a headless horseman. The shows were fantastic!

Afterwards, we hung out at Todd and Fyrespryte's place to chill and relax. It had been a long day. They have a beautiful view of downtown Vancouver from their balcony. Then we all went over to Amanda and Geoff's spooky Halloween party. Their living room was decorated eerily with cobwebs, ghosts, limbs, and tombstones. We chilled for a bit before I headed home. I did not end up making the rounds to other house parties.

 

On Sunday, I met up with Fasty, Gia, and their friend Wanda for Indian buffet at Saffron in Burnaby. The food was delicious and not too spicy. A great deal for $10 bucks. We went back to Fasty & Gia's and watched their wedding video. It was so wonderful to see it because I was not there with them at the first wedding. We hung out and looked at pictures for a bit. Then we went to look at a two bedroom for sale near Central Park. It is amazing how much condos go for in the Greater Vancouver Area. Gia's sister just purchased a three bedroom, three bathroom townhouse near Cambridge for under $200k. Yeah, yeah you cannot compare the markets and prices, but one has to wonder how one will ever be able to afford a one bedroom condo in Vancouver with the prices escalating (highest prices in Canada).

In the evening, we chilled and watched American History X. This film had been on my rental list for years. I can see why so many film critics and fans say this movie is one of the best contemporary movies ever made. Not too mention Edward Norton looks great and lusty as a bad-ass testosterone alpha male skinhead.
