June 22, 2012

usually on wednesdays I go golfing with my dad because it's the only night of the week we know we're both free, but what with MEME starting YESTERDAY OMG I was all "dad I'm too busy to golf, I need to rest sry"

and he understood because my dad is the greatest, but then my work was all "hey Alyson wanna go see the Bombers exhibition game for free?" and I was all "yeah I'm gonna take my dad!"

so we went and shot the shit and drank some beers and it was nice to watch the sun set over the old (old, old) arena and watch our team lose and hang out with one of my favourite men in the whole world.

I made him take a photo with me and we made the same stupid face and it made me happy.

yesterday MEME 2012 started and we were all out at BOA Lounge which wound up being mega-packed which honestly was surprising because it was a Thursday and all. I've been going crazy all week posting stuff to the site and the twitter and thinking about all the running around and work I have to do this weekend makes me want to lie down.

no sleep for the wicked.

which is why after being awake till 2am I was up at 7:30am and here I am now raring to go. I feel exhausted and worn-out and I have a headache from a busy week at work but fuck it here we go.

I've got photos to tweet and videos to take and swag to give away all weekend while hanging out drinking beers in the sunshine.

MEME has to be one of my favourite weekends out of the entire year -we spend all this time and effort building this massive project and it's so satisfying to see it come together.

because you know a lot of people shit on electronic music. they figure we're all gross sweaty ravers lying on gymnasium floors in the dark eating our own faces and while there's definitely that subculture it's not what we're about.

we're about the good shit.

like this video, which isn't the sort of sounds that you'll find at MEME, but is still terrific
