INTERNATIONAL INDIE WEEK – Wanna go?

This month indie week is back in Toronto and ready to showcase some amazing local & global talent. Last year my friends NIXON (the band Brock McLaughlin manages) won the Indie Week International competition. Check ’em out.

I have 3 pairs of tickets for you guys to check out some indie tunage.

1. You must tweet something creative to me including my Twitter & @indieweek twitter or click this button to Tweet something silly I made up. 


2. You must be able to pick up wristbands at The Hideout on Queen during the festival after 7pm.

3. You must be legal drinking age which in Ontario is 19 ok? You need photo ID to get wristbands.

4. You must be excited to see some awesome music and have a good attitude. So debby downers. 

OK GO!  Contest is over at 5pm today so I can send all the weiners winners names to Indie Week 🙂

Sazerac Lounge Media Dinner

A couple weeks ago I was invited to Sazerac ok King to sample their menu and have a few drinks. I love these kind of events. We all sat down and tried the best from the menu paired with drinks to complement the selections.  I sat with Brock, Pay, Dan, and Notable.ca. Andrew posted about all the things we ate on his blog dobbernationloves.com.  Photos by Ryan Emberley via his site C Daily.  Thanks Sharyn & team for the invite!  Sazerac is located at 782 King Street West.

What a Legend Steve Jobs. You continue to inspire me.

To mark the one-year anniversary of Steve Jobs’ death, Apple replaced their homepage with a tribute video to Steve Jobs and a letter from CEO Tim Cook.The 1-minute, 45-second video on Apple.com features black-and-white still images and quotes from Jobs.

“It’s in Apple’s DNA that technology alone is not enough — it’s technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the result that makes our heart sing and nowhere is that more true than in these post-PC devices,” Jobs’ voice can be heard saying on the video, a quote taken from the iPad 2 launch in March 2011.

My office is all Mac everything and so am I. He changed my life 🙂 This is my FAV Apple video, released in 1997 for the Think DIfferent campaign. Here’s to the crazy ones!

Seen Zombie Girl? She’s Danger. Loves Brains.

I love Halloween.

This is me ZOMBIFIED HEAPS.

Zombie Family photo.

Eat your baby.

This one is weird.

Mum would freak if I had a zombie tattoo. I have a ship there now.

Lauren and I were Fashion Zombies last year as the walk was post Toronto Fashion Week. Fashion Week will kill you.

My sister and I did the walk in 2010.

Been a Zombie w/ Kory a few times. MISS YOU!

Two fav Zombie photos (I took).

Scary clown & Scared Litte Girl.

I love dressing up so much. Next week I’m in Screamers!

Let’s talk costumes!?!? What are you wearing?

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving last year all the kids were home.

Boys.

Girls.

It was so fun.  I love thanksgiving because it’s just about hanging out and hangout out is my favourite.  I miss my family in New Zealand. I can’t wait to see Mum. Taking Dad to Canada Rugby final this weekend, VIP.

This is my first actual “long weeeknd” in two years. I have worked every day no matter what day it was. I’m not gonna change much about what I do on the holiday but it changes how I feel.

Thanksgiving Day is a holiday to give thanks for the blessings in one’s life, particularly the harvest. It is a day off work for many Canadians.

Happy Friday & BON WEEKEND!

Nuvo Burlesque – I’m in an Army of Sass and it’s HOT.

It’s been three weeks of rehearsal for our shows in December. I waited a couple weeks till we had something to show you. I could literally make GIFs of everything we do. Lead by creator & choreographer of Nuvo-Burlesque Carla Catherwood, and commercial choreographer Lindsay Ritter, we are the ARMY OF SASS.

I saw the Electronic Cabaret a few times this summer and I knew I needed to be part of it. This is one of the coolest things I’ve done in the last year (at least). I have a video of us doing a routine but I am shy to show you my skills just yet.

This is a sneak peek of what we’re working on. I hope you come to the show. There are about 50 of us. It is burlesque like you have never seen before and I am SO STOKED to be part of it. My sister Jenie is also in the troupe along with the lovely Jaclyn Genovese, Carolyn Van and a whole bunch of other babes.

  • PERFORMANCE: Friday December 7 & 14, 2012

  • WHERE: The Virgin Mobile Mod Club, Toronto

Until next time my friends,

<3 CASIE & the Army

P.S. If you’d like to dance with us there is a DROP-IN CLASS Wednesday night’s 8:30-9:30pm at King West Fitness. LMK if you decide to come. It will be the highlight of your week!

Busy day today. This weather is great for working. I was invited to Blundstone, the Australian boot company to check out their new style of shoes.  They come from Tasmania, I’ve been there. Toured a brewery and went to a spa in Hobart. Will share those tomorrow. Have dance tonight at King West Fitness for Nuvo Burlesque’s Army of Sass. I’m stoked. It’s so much fun. Things are going great at work. I really love it here.  Do you love my new glasses? They’re ‘Love’ by Derek Cardigan for Clearly Contacts. I’m terribly excited for Halloween BTW.

Hope you are having an awesome day!
