Leaving on a Jet Plane... then I came back

Well, I took some vacation time this last week (I had to, otherwise I would lose it). Went back home to visit and to see my sister get married again. It was a nice small ceremony, only 10 of us, at the Banff Springs Hotel. I even took some pictures...

Runa & Bob, the Bride and Groom (as if that wasn't obvious enough) and some tourist who wouldn't move.

Dad, Mom, Cousin Marge (Runa's Godmother), and Jenny (Bob's Mom).

Jenny & Terry (Bob's Parents) and Doug (Bob's Brother) behind the candles.

Doug & Karen (Bob's Sister in-law and of course his aforementioned Brother)

It was fun, drank some beer, enjoyed the scenery and got woken up by the fire alarm at 1 am. At least we knew it wasn't Doug, because he had gone back to Golden with his parents and Karen.

Part 2 of my little vacation got a little surreal. I went out to Packer's Place Pub to catch up with a friend of mine. He was DJing that night, so I figured I would surprise him. Turns out I was the one surprised. First off it wasn't just a music night, there was an art show beforehand. When I saw who was putting on the art show, the type of art and the venue suddenly made sense. Here's some more pictures:

I forget the names of the pieces but I do know the 3rd from the left was called "The Second Coming" or was that Cumming....

and a close up, complete with singing vagina's. Smitty is a crazy guy, oops actually it's Infinity now, he keeps changing his name. I think he just played host to the show, I think the artist is some sexually frustrated old guy from Vancouver.

Other than the art show, it was a typical Sunday night at Packer's. I ran into some more of my friends there too, Scott, Michelle, Karl, Sykes, Peewee (although he doesn't go by that anymore, so I guess that would be Dave now), and Ian, so I managed to catch up with almost everyone, except Bill who was in Greece or Cyprus. Drank a fair number of Stella's too. It was a good time.

I'll leave off with a picture of Mount Seven. You can't see the 7 yet but in July, I should be back to take another picture so you can see the 7 then.
