Bye Bye Vancouver

So we had a Bye Bye Vancouver Party on Saturday night, which 40 of our closest Vancouver friends attended. Yay for friends! Yay for sparklers and wine! Yay for helium balloons! Yay for Snifty Snakes, a bizarre board game made in Burnaby, BC.

Today I ate sushi and went to the VAG with two work friends, Deanna and Grace, for what was probably the last time in a long while. Tomorrow we bid farewell to Courtenay and Jeff, and to our beloved station wagon. The new owner seems very cool. She's already christened it "the white shark" and promises to take it on many adventures.

Tonight Geoff and J.F. tore down our Geoff-built shelving units. Next, the wall comes down.

As for the Mabou project, our land survey is finally finished. And yesterday Geoff ordered the windows, which gave me a little thrill. Now we just have to get down there and build. We leave one week from today! Hopefully we'll see many of our Halifax peeps soon. Maybe at the Sloan show at the Marquee next Friday? Oh, and we still need helpers for the last two weeks of September...

Car = Gone

We sold the car!

Another View.

Hi friends,

Here's another view of Geoff's fantastic artspace design. A few of you have contacted me to see if we've arrived in Nova Scotia yet, which we have not. The project is now taking place through August and September. And we still need your help! Especially during the last half of September. Thanks to everyone who has contacted me about volunteering; I've penciled you into the Google Calendar below.

Currently, Geoff and I are (frantically) packing up our belongings in preparation for the move. God, there are so many things to do. Sell the car, find a way to transport the cat, get a land survey finished, finish my thesis, secure financing, blah blah blah.

But it'll be worth it! Can't wait to see you all soon...

P.S. If you live in Vancouver, we're having a big Farewell to Vancouver party on Saturday, July 21st on my rooftop. Contact me for address deets.
