Vroom Vroom!

I love summer and sad it’s almost over but quite looking forward to Fall fashion and the return of tights and boots. Next weekend my friends at Notable TV invited me to the Distillery District for a weekend long event featuring cars and bands called Lexus Live at the Distillery. (Cars & bands to means there will probably be some babes.) Chum FM & Virgin 99.9 will also be hanging out along with some pretty rad Canadian talent. I love visiting this part of town. I need to take Team Boston there when they visit. Kinda reminds me of the oldness of Newbury Street.

The event is Aug 27-29 and is the Canadian Debut of a new Lexus baby called the CT 200h & Worldwide debut of the CT 200h Tour.  This is the only Canadian stop and the only chance you’ll have to check out the new ride before it comes out next year. Hope Dad reads this cause there’s also the Lexus Targa GS 450h race car. Now that’s the fast one, vroom vroom!. I’ll take one of those please!

There’s refreshments & you can catch the free shows at these times:

The Stills (Friday 7:00-8:00pm)
Lily Frost (Sat 12:00-1:00pm)
The Midway State (Sat 5:00pm-6:00pm)
Paper Lions (Sun 3:00-4:00pm)

I’ll be there for the Friday night show for sure. If you’re going, tell me. Also for a little more info check out the post on Notable TV.  This is Lexus’ second dedicated hybrid, i.e. only hybrid model and it is no gas. No gas! Bring on more hybrid!

I hope I get to sit in test drive the race car!!

#WarpedTour: guest post by @jordanrachael feat @lights @taylormomsen @OfficialAAR

Earlier this summer I sent two people as Casie Stewart Brand Ambassadors to Vans Warped Tour – Mike Albertini & Jordan Rachel. I gave them all access media & back stage. I asked Jordan to write about her experience & here it is.

I’m Jordan, reporting for casiestewart.com … Van’s Warped Tour 2010.

The Van’s Warped Tour is known to have one of the biggest set lists for any concert, with 70+ bands appearing at our hometown Toronto date, there was no shortage of genres represented.


From the smooth poppy vocals of newly acclaimed Mike Posner, to the grungy rock sound of Taylor Momsen’s band The Pretty Reckless, fans of all kind gathered to see their favourite bands.I had the opportunity to get all access, backstage, media access with my partner in crime Michael Albertini.

One of the first things Mike and I saw was a pretty tough looking dude sporting a “F**K JUSTIN BEIBER” tshirt.. (yes, spelt like that). From then on, we knew that this day would be one for the history books. The first artist we knew we had to see was Mike Posner, and as I suspected, with him came along a following of loyal fangirls. Although fairly new to the scene, or at least to my knowledge of him, he’s had a pretty steady crowd goin’ on. I guess that hit “Cooler Than Me” has really caught on!

Soon after, we hit a few other bands such as The Cab, and The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band (They were insane!!!)

Then it was time for The Pretty Reckless, and most importantly for us: T.MOM!

Not gonna lie, I have been a big fan of Gossip Girl for a while now, but let me tell you I have now seen Lil’ J in a whole new light… and I loved it! She had passion, and surprisingly, she’s got pipes!! Afterward we had to meet her.. duh.

Throughout the day, we spent a little time back in the crew’s area to scope the scene..
We had encounters such as chatting with T.Mom in her pajamas, talking to Lights about her “Lights Army” and running into Tyson Ritter of the All American Rejects while he was cruisin’ on his skateboard.

Then it was back to the bands, from Mayday Parade (a personal fave) to the All American Rejects, to a childhood flashback Sum 41. Deryck Whibley hasn’t changed one bit since the old days! Apart from his split from Avril Lavinge. Our last band of the night was quite a nice change of pace, metal/hardcore band from Queens, New York, Emmure. They had one of the most insane crowds of the night, but I guess that’s what comes with the genre. The fans really do go all out.


Overall, my experience at the 2010 Van’s Warped Tour was pretty awesome, I saw some bands I’ve been dying to see for years, had the opportunity to photograph them, and even speak to a few personally.

Warped Tour ’10, you were sweet.

be my guest

It’s all about me over here all the time, after all casie stewart : this is my life started as a journal about 5 years ago to keep more memories.  It’s certainly worked to keep memories and has brought me lots of wonderful things like friends and opportunities. It’s been a place where I can share and appreciate all the small things and get through tough times and celebrate the good ones. I’ve got lots of exciting things on the go and I’ll be sharing them with you, in due time & all right here.

Until then, I’d like to make it a little less about me and a little more about you – I’d like to include a guest post here and there.

What about you ask?

You know me, I like positive, inspiring, fun. I like photos and pretty things. I’d like to know your thoughts on what I do, real talk and stories about us. Maybe something you’ve always wanted to share, something I said that made you think or laugh, something you think people would like to see. No pitching or selling yourself, come out to genYTO Aug 26th if you wanna talk business with the team. I’m looking for your thoughts on things similar to what I write about. Maybe it’s your TTC tale or the way stage lights hit your face and make you feel like you can do anything.

I’m up to your challenge.

If you’ve got something you’d like to share title your email GUEST BLOG: [name + twitter] and send it to [email protected]. I would prefer you send a txt file no more than 300 words and 1 or 2 photos. If you have another idea, you can ask me about that too.

Peace out. Peach.
