Bardel Xmas party

The Bardel crew cuttin' up the rug.

A drunk Mark with buddy Tara.

Some of the crew.

A cool tree display thingy.


I forget his name but we were born in the same hospital (Box HIll) 2 weeks apart. Freaky small world.


Some of the nutty drunken dancing that went on.

Gordon and his lovely lady Britany

Is that Hiro from Heroes?

Todd, another of the animation directors, and Jaquie.

In Seattle on my Birthday

An actual NFL crowd going to a game.

The famous Seattle underground tour.

One of the now abandoned underground city streets.

A skylight that lit the underground streets.

The street-level view of the top of the skylights. Vancouver has these too so I wonder if there's an undergrond world here.

The lovely fascilities.

Nic looking a little uneasy.

As the sign says: Seattle's original water system.

The glow in the dark stickers we were all given, now stuck on the pipes by the thousands of visitors.

A cool sunken carpark.

The space needle right next to the science fiction museum.

The sci-fi museum has some cool architecture.

It's built to look like a space ship.

Love the shapes. I'm such a geek :)

My First Vancouver Snow

The snow gathering over the mountains as seen from my Bardel studio window.

My snow covered backyard. The pool was frozen solid.


The street in front of my place.


The pool and our backdoor balcony.


I'm loving it!

View from my bedroom window.


The next morning. Snow ROCKS!!



My first REAL Halloween

The line to the pumpkin patch.

One of the cool attractions they set up on the pumpkin patch farm.

This guy sang us songs while we rode the tractor to the pumpkin fields.

Yup, a giant punpkin :)


Nic, Chad and Isaiah at the edge of the corn field maze.

Lots of pumpkins to choose from. Was fun going thru them all.


A decoration at the front of Nicole's place.

Carving the pumpkins at my place.

So messy but loads of fun.


The results.
