Let me start off by saying how excited I am for the semi-finals of the World Cup! I wouldn't have been able to watch the games live this weekend, but things didn't work out with my travels and now I'm so happy that I did lay back and enjoy "THE soccer" (Roger's commercial joke). The Netherlands, Uruguay, Germany, and Spain have all survived those INTENSE quarter-final matches. Unreal football from all participating countries. You gotta feel for Ghana, they had a penalty kick in the last seconds of extra time to move on and Gyan nailed the crossbar! Then they went on to lose on the game-deciding penalty kicks... CRAZY. At least Suarez with that straight red card (because he swatted the ball off the line) will be out against the Dutch, muahahah! Looks like it'll be a Germany versus Netherlands battle on July 11th (hopefully)! That would be a match you CANNOT miss.
Anyways, that was a long intro to this entry... A part from this weekend's football, it was truly a Royal occasion. Saturday, the Queen came to Winnipeg! Lindsey and I decided to follow our stalker instincts and went looking for her. Lindsey's first thought was that she'd be at the legislature... excellent first guess! We headed to the large mass of people and sure enough, the Queen was walking out of the Government house and I finally checked this feat off of my bucket list! Okay, it wasn't officially on my bucket list, but I am grateful that I have finally seen her in person. After that spectacle, Lindsey and I went for a tour in the Legislative building. It's amazing in there. I've only been in it a couple of times, but I'm amazed each and every time! There's an area with a black star on the ground and if you stand on it and speak, your voice transforms into a 360 stereo vocal experience. The architecture is unreal. Good times.
Finally, I actually did go to Royal Canoe's CD release party last night! SO GOOD! Their new tunes are spectacular, I can't wait to acquire them. Cam filmed some of their new stuff, stay tuned! They were great, but who opened for them was a pleasant surprise. Library Voices recently had an iTunes single of the week and I knew them from that, but they are quite the band as their performance and CD proves. All eight of them give their sound a unique touch! Kind of reminds me of the Arkells a bit, except these guys include those electronic Korg's and Moog's. I love it! The Sung Knows crew and I danced that night away!
