victoria.

So, the trip to Victoria was amazing. Not only did I meet other musicians, I got the opportunity to talk to some very talented writers and artists.
The party was held for Colin's good friend Nick, who is an accomplished writer, and was held to celebrate the fact that his novel is being edited by a very prestigious publishing company.
We also were kind of celebrating for Colin too. If all goes well, he will be working for a producer that has worked with Billy Talent, Coldplay, Avril Lavigne, and a few other famous bands. I am so excited for him.
A good buddy of his brought over a keg to start the night, and people began to enter in swarms. There were quite a few musicians, so Colin and I had to wait until 1am to play our tunes. We played Blue Bossa, My Funny Valentine, My Romance and Lover Man (and no it wasn't themed... we just picked at random). We then invited Nick up to sing "I'm Just a Gigalo". It was probably the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.
I also met a classical pianist who was absolutely mind-blowing. She played a Cantata by Bach, and a piece created by a canadian composer. She and I talked about school and how she too went through the phase of not playing anything for a few years. She had a ton of great advice and has motivated me to pick up the flute again.
And Margooo! Awee, another really cool person. Her personality floooored me. Very kind hearted and humble, and soooo fun.

Colin and I got back today around 3 to run the university stairs with some friends. We ran them three times, and I thought I was going to die. And now he just helped me work out my complex-meter keyboarding test I have to do tomorrow. Why do I leave things at the last minute? Ugh.

So that's my little recap. I'm going to beeeed.
