Haven't Ya Heard?

If you folks haven't heard or read about the Locals Specials going on around town for DINNER then you best be opening up a Banff Crag and Canyon paper and get to know!!

seriously, you can't not afford to go to these spots. I checked out Giorgios last night first hand and for $20 i got a ceaser salad/steak dinner (ammmmazing)/and desert PLUS i spoiled myself and got a $25 bottle of riesling from Cave Spring!! i didnt drink it all , had a movie to go to, but in alberta you can take the bottle with you! it's GREAT! take advantage!! this only happens in the SLOW SEASON!

The best deals I saw came from the following SPECTACULAR restuarants:

yup....COLD/FLU season

so i just am starting to come outta feelin' like sh*t since friday night....on tuesday oct 12 (my birthday) being the worst of the worst day) i'm finally back at work but now have developed a cough but at least i can swallow. i thought i'd share my story on how and what i did to get better:

first off...still super sorry to everyone who took off work on tuesday for my vegas bday party that i had to postpone. but ya for real , i couldnt swallow whole foods. i was on soup diet for 3 days i suppose. it sucked. i tried all day to tell myself that i could still party at night but then when it came time to get ready i started to ball my eyes out and realized , nope...this ain't gonna happen. that night i was border line going to the hospital i couldnt believe a person could feel so bad, i thought my throat was closing over.

anywho....just a heads up i firmly believe that the only thing that helped me get well was REST!!! i rested for 2 days straight...barely no talking and constant laying.
if only i knew that the only thing that would help would be REST i would have taken off work 3 days beforeeee my birthday.

here are some contributing factors that may have helped me get better before circuming to going to the doctor to take meds:

chicken noodle soup , added TONS of garlic and cayenne pepper and or/ tabassco sauce(couldnt eat the noodles though...just broth)
drank tons of tea...adding lemon and honey
drank lots of water
gargled with salt water (really wasn't that gross)
had an extremely hot shower
kept a heat pack on my throat at one point

so ya but number one thing is rest, dont push yourself cuz it ain't gonna help ya!! suck it up and miss a party / or work. you'll thank yourself in the end.

VOTE: OCT18




ok so, i've never voted and i know i should , but to be honest it just never interested me. BUT now as a store owner in Banff, i feel like i should do my part and try to get involved. i'll get there, slowly but surely. anywho...Banff's council vote is coming up and i've been dabling into the people running but there's one man that is standing out in front for me. His name is Stephen Allen. He and another lady Chip Olver were the only ones to come talk to me at the store. anywho, stephen caught my attention because he a) bought something from my store and b) wants a casino in town to help with town revenue. now i realize some people would say a casino would be a terrible idea but HAY we're already like a mini vegas with everyone thinking they can run aroudn the streets and be wild and wasted as it is...why not have a casino? if it'll help draw tourism, i'm in and i would definatly advertise there lol. jus' sayin...anyways that's all. i know it's not much to go on but like i said, slowly but surely.
below is the article about different ideas for revenue for Banff:


ALSO STAVROS is pretty kickass as well, i heard the sasquatch is running for council as well. HA! i'm in!

Happy Thanxgiving...

No turkey for me this year.... but i do enjoy long weekends in hopes that Calgarians make their way to Banff and spend da bling in my store, so i say THANX Calgary..appriciated!

Here's sum more stuff i'm pretty stoked to say THANX for:


my famillllly (man i love them)
my homies
this guy named Four20 , he's swell
my ability to party and work the next day
my landlord for being real nice about us foaming up our deck and asking nicely to take it down
to the kid who just broke a glass stem from a bong (sarcastic tone on this one)
to starbucks in Banff (the whole staff always makes me feel so important, when there's long lines , the manager makes my tea and lets me skip the line loooove it, and to Jess that brings drinks when i most need 'em right to the store)
and to everyone that is reading this. thanx ;) have an adorable weekend!

social network..meesh review


ok so , checked out The Social Network last night...word of advice right off the bat, dont go with anyone that would rather watch an hi-energy kinda movie. they're adhd will kick in pronto and you will soon be paying attention to their squirming rather than the movie.

anywho, there's a part in the movie where justin timberlake playing sean parker says along the lines of..."this is huge for our generation or the big thing for our generation, or somethign like that" but ya it was like it clicked in my head too. although i knew that facebook was a huge deal, i realized it's a HUGE motha f'in deal! for someone to think of this idea , all the little aspects to it and how far it goes in depth and THEN be able to create it on a computer using code....it's incredible.

yes the movie can be slow at times but just be prepared like i was that watching this movie is more like watchign a documentary, but with little quips of humor every now and then. it basically dumbs down in a nutshell all this crazy internet stuff that's been happening since napster came about incase you didnt quite understand it all.

so maybe not worth going and sitting in an uncomfortable theatre for 2 hours but it's a definate must watch at home being cozy.....

i feel like i re learnt everything i already knew but in a new way , found out sum new stuff and am as cheesy and geeky as it sounds, i'm pretty stoked to be apart of such a huge thing for our generation. again, yes i realize it's just a internet site and it's addicting and it's really kinda ridiculous but as the movie refers to, people crave on knowing what everyone else is doing and how their doing it, it makes people in the world go round. something as little as a "relationship status" was actually a huge idea.

also i read an article in the new Vanity Fair about Sean Parker, it tells you the the back history of him and the little differences between the real him and the movie him. worth a read if your pretty interested in this stuff like i became, you can also catch the Lindsey Lohan interview as well in the same mag. jus' sayin.

anyways shut up, watch the movie. dont judge me. goin' to check my facebook now.

biznesss ethics!!



well i wont name names HA but let's just say i'm not too stoked that last week i called and emailed about doing a radio ad and a newspaper ad for Heads or Tail to promote our Halloween Costumes and Accessories. I realize it's only tuesday but you would think i would have got some sort of reply to discuss me paying them a bunch of money to put an ad up? isn't this how you make money....off advertising?




umm...jus' sayin that's all.




Thanx to my sister for making me realize that's really shitty buisness ethics.
