2013 In Review

Putting together this entry made me realize, again, that I really should post more. Or at least have a private document somewhere to keep track of this stuff.

Also, I started writing this in TextEdit, but it hung indefinitely. I blame iCloud. Seriously, how is it ever excusable that a text editor / word processor freeze indefinitely? At least it recovered the document after I killed it.

Travel and events:

My plan this year was to save my vacation time for a big trip in the fall. I guess that worked out, just not as expected.

• February: Went to Gottacon. It was awesome.

• May: VanCAF.

• June: Raine got married!

• June: Day trip to Victoria. Spent most of my time in transit (buses, ferries) than in Victoria. It was nevertheless awesome.

• June, later: Went up to Prince George for a baptism.

• Late July: Mission Folk Fest. First time going. Three days of sun and music.

• Late August: Calgary for my sister’s wedding. Huzzah!

• October: Went to one last VCon.

• November: Visited the ruined monastery at Glendalough

• December: Visited Northern Ireland and Giant’s Causeway.

Movies:

I probably went to a few more, but this is all I can remember.

• “Now You See Me”.

• “Rifftrax Live: Starship Troopers”.

• “Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special”.

• “Hobbit 2”.

Performances:

• Cirque du Soleil, “Amaluna”.

• Attended a live production of “Les Miserables”.

• Bard on the Beach. I forget which play, sadly. :(

• Plumes Ensemble at Raw Canvas.

• “Avenue Q”.

• “Rent”.

• “Critical Hit”, several times. I even got to participate once!

• Deltron 3030.

Noteworthy:

• I finally went to Wreck Beach!

• I finally did the Grouse Grind!

• I went to the best overnight Minecraft LAN party of all time — OF ALL TIME.

• I moved to Ireland!
