Christy is going to Vancouver

Yes yes. I am going to Vancouver! I'm actually really excited but kind of scared. I'll be the only person from my team going for a three day conference. There'll be two other people going (one from the WA office and one from the CO office)... but no one that I really know. But anyway, it should be exciting. I'm staying at the Sutton Place Hotel which is only ONE block away from some great shopping (according to Emily). I'm QUITE excited. I've booked my plane and hotel and am all ready to go! Kind of crazy, got to my desk this morning around 9:20 am, saw an email saying something about a conference in Vancouver, and apparently my boss volunteered me up to go. I'll be leaving on Monday, July 23 and coming back Thursday, July 26. Wee!!

What else has been happening... hmmm.

Monday - work, gym, home

Tuesday - work, happy hour (that lasted like three hours), home, HARRY POTTER: ORDER OF THE PHOENIX! The movie was disappointing but perhaps I'm just way too much of an obsessed Harry Potter fan. Hm. It wasn't quite worth watching at midnight on a weeknight, but whatever.

Wednesday - work, home

Thursday - work, home, comedy show at the Cobb Comedy Club! It was really really fun. The first guy was some local comedian and he was pretty funny. Then Anjelah Johnson came on and was totally adorable and funny. The headlining comedian was Tom Rhodes. I've actually never heard of him until the show, but he turned out to be super duper funny. He was completely random and said some really funny crap. For example, he talked about how boring the new Pope is and how Oprah should be the pope... Poprah. Hilarious. Another funny line:

"I wish I was black... 'Once you go black, you never go back'... White people never have cool sayings... 'Once you go white, you might get a Sprite'... no one's going to f**k you for a Sprite."

So funny. He had a pretty dirty mouth but he was hilarious. Unlike Norm McDonald. If you guys are free, the show is playing all weekend and only costs like $5. The venue was really nice and big. We sat all the way in the back but at a tall table so we were able to see over everyones' heads.

Hiilarious. Very very funny and definitely worth $5! Today has been a very slow day. I spent all morning trying to find out where to stay for the conference since the hotel where the conference is held was packed. Then I had to figure out travel and such. Ai yi yi. Lots of organization. Actually not too much organization. Just a bit time consuming.

Plans for the weekend? Saturday night going to Mr. Smith's with Shelly and company. Tomorrow I think I'm just going to just relax at home. Sunday I'm going to GG Park for a bbq with Ashley, Adam, Zzipper, and company. Should be tons of fun! I can't wait to see them all and to see Ashley's tiny baby. He must be adorable.
