What a week it’s been! First, Commander Chris Hadfield and his team safely made it him, and then the Liberals shocked everyone (including themselves I bet) by winning a majority over the NDP. While all that history was being made, people were still taking the time to call or Facebook in some amazing requests. Here are the Top 5 from the week. Have a great long weekend!!!
The Royal BC Museum is opening a really cool new exhibit tomorrow called Race To The End Of The Earth, which tells the story of the battle of explorers to be the first to reach the South Pole. To coincide with that, the National Geographic IMAC Theatre will be showing Shakleton’s Antarctic Adventure. Sir Ernest Shakleton was one of the first to attempt it with his team in 1914, and they survived a harrowing 18 month journey when their ship sank.
The IMAX film follows North Face climbing leader Conrad Anker and his team as they follow the same steps Shakelton’s team followed, and give us an up-close look at what the antarctic is like. The freezing cold temperates, the constantly moving ice caps, and the wildlife that inhabits them. The film came out in 2001, and is making it’s second appearance at our IMAX. Have a look at the trailer!
Wow, our city is so awesome that we get an annual national holiday! Wait…what? Oh! It’s in honor of that queen chick! Either way, we’ll take it, and there is a ton of stuff to do this weekend, especially if you have kids.
Here’s a rundown of all the stuff I could find. I’m sure there’s more, which you can likely find on this crazy internet place. At any rate, here is all is, in no particular order:
LUXTON PRO RODEO - this is the 38th of its kind, and it’s looking like the weather will be good for all the action at the Luxton Fairgrounds on Sooke Road. They’ve had some really bad luck with weather the last couple years, so they’re long overdue! They’ll have all the rodeo type stuff if you’re into it, but also the midway and carnival games. And don’t forget the carnies!!!! It runs Saturday through Monday, and we’re proud to sponsor it!
It’s Africa Fest 2013 in Centennial Square!

This is going to be interesting. A documentary about Guns and Roses bassist Duff McKagan is about to be released.
The other night The Tonight Show with Jay Leno pulled off a pretty good prank, which was made waaaaaay better because the people went along with it! Have a look…
I love the dude cranking out backup vocals on the Eurythmics tune. They can both belt it out pretty well, eh? Well, it turns out that the whole thing may have been completely staged. Check out this follow up video from the (jealous) folks at Good Morning America!
You know what? Even if it’s staged, I don’t care. It made me smile, and isn’t that the main goal? Success!
Tomorrow is B.C. Election Day! I’m not going to get all preachy about the importance of voting, because it’s not for everybody. If you want some good reasons why it’s important, you can get them here. I’m sure you got your yellow voter card in the mail a few weeks ago, and if you didn’t because you’ve recently moved, then all you have to do is take some valid B.C. identification and a bill or something with your address on it to any polling station, and you’re good to go.
Elections BC has a really solid website that answers all your questions. They’re doing their best to make voting as easy for us as possible. There is curbside voting at the polling stations for those with disabilities who can’t get out of the car, and they’re even doing a drive-thru in the Comox Valley! They also have this hilarious video on their site about what to expect when you go to vote. Apparently you can expect to have no hair, eyebrows, nose, ears, belly button, finger nails, or clothes. Ditto for the people working there!
Happy Voting!!!
Today Commander Chris Hadfield Returns from a five month stay on the international space station, but not before recording one of the most appropriate covers ever.
Best moustache on the planet.
Another sunny, beautiful week has come and gone in Victoria, and hopefully the clouds part for us on Mother’s Day so we can all get outside and honor mom with an epic lawn dart tournament! Yeah, I miss lawn darts too…oh! Right! The week also had some killer Whatever requests from Jack Nation. It’s always tough to pick a Top 5, but I gave it my best shot below. If you want to get yours in, you can either call us, or hit up the Jack Facebook Page!
#5. “Close My Eyes Forever” by Lita Ford & Ozzy Osbourne – Is there anything better than an 80′s big hair ballad? Yes! An 80′s big hair duet ballad! A bit of a May/December matchup on this one, but it works.
