Sappyfest 8: Shotgun Jimmie

Sappyfest 8
Sackville, NB
Aug.3, 2013

One of the highlights of this year's Sappyfest was Shotgun Jimmie's set.  If you see him playing in your area, do yourself a favour and check him out.  Great stage presence, consistently well crafted lyrics, he's a solid live performer.  He did not disappoint that night!  Here's hoping that Sappyfest comes back next summer, fingers crossed!

What's on this weekend? LOTS OF EVERYTHING!

Holy smokes, what a lineup of Fall food festivities!  I'm a little overwhelmed by the list, hard to take it all in.  Basically, keep your head up this weekend and you will find a breakfast, tea or supper that suits your tastes!

Have a great weekend everyone.  Hunting season starts today so don't forget those blaze orange hats/apparel if you are heading out into the woods.

Backyard Wrasslin' Ring

Conquerall Mills (?), NS
Oct. 13, 2013

I wish I could have seen this backyard wrasslin ring in its prime.  Now, it's just a rusting, rotting relic.  From what I can tell from the road, the 'floor' looks like it's made of old mattresses.  Heck, it looks like it even has turnbuckles!

I've meant to take a shot of this spot for a while now...it's been there for over 10 years.  This spot always sketches me out.  I rolled up, took a couple quick shots and got the hell out of there. If I'm feeling brave, I might try to get a better shot of it down the road...for now, this will have to do.
