I am going to begins today’s blog with a call for help.  Dylan Willow‘s GF Jacquelyn is trying to help an organization raise $10,000 to build a school in Africa.  She asked me to find 10 people that want to give $10 for the cause.

Please take a quick sec and pledge $10 right here: Help Build a School

I thought this was pretty cool.  Trolling the doubleUdoubleUdots today, I saw an interesting fact.  Only four independent bands in the history of Billboard’s modern rock chart have ever reached number 1.

The Offspring – “Self Esteem” (1994)
Everlast – “What Its Like” (1998)
Silversun Pickups – “Panic Switch” (2009)
Phoenix – “1901” (2010)

I don’t know if Billboard has updated their chart or what, but they are still showing them at number 2 despite this news article to the contrary.  Maybe I got the wrong chart?

I know we should be thinking winter Olympics in this part of the world… but with the weather so nice, I can’t help but look ahead to baseball season.

Our local pro team is the Victoria Seals and in their second season they will begin by playing the new expansion team from Maui.

The Victoria Baseball Blog had a look at their new jerseys.  I am not so much a fan, but David Eleanor seemed to like.

ahhh, I don’t know… But I do know I’d love if we could organize a Zone road trip to Maui…

Go with yourself.

Just got back from taking some swings and shagging some fly balls at Royal Athletic Park.  Our brand spanking new expansion pro-baseball team, Victoria Seals, are back from their rough season opening road trip.  Their first home game is tomorrow at Royal Athletic Park vs. Long Beach Armada.

I won’t be able to make the game sadly, maybe I can find some time on Saturday or Sunday.  I know David Eleanor will be there as the man informed me he already has season tickets!

Here are some upcoming games this weekend.  might be a challenge to find some time, I know Grandma is coming to visit, maybe I’ll wait till Grandpa comes too and we’ll hit a game.

David Eleanor and I were talking about how rad it would be to own a minor-pro baseball team.  Gotta win that lotto 649 $50 milli jackpot first.  We were thinking of putting our squad in Kelowna and calling the team the Ogopogos.  Play out of a stadium that we’d build specifically for minor-pro and it would need to be either as in downtown or as on the lake as we could muster.  And like anything Dave and I would do… the best BBQ’d stadium food in all the land…. Now I know what you’re thinking, “own a baseball team? keep dreaming!” but I think it is more likely that Dave and I own a baseball team before Dave’s other dream… Center Field for the Boston Red Soxs! ahhh, the dream.

Go with yourself.
