jfin is here…

… I entered some random music-associated competition.  I think it was a coloring-in competition.  I won a harmonica.  It was awesome.  And that was the only thing I have won in my whole life.  Except for the time Coca-Cola seemed to have shipped a pellet full of Coke bottles with ‘one free Coke’ under the lid to the school tuck shop.  But that doesn’t really count.  Oh, and $200 out of the pokies in Vegas.  I lost that again soon after.

We went to the Mount Baker Film Festival in Bellingham on Thursday night … $6.50 to sit in a theatre packed with 1500 raucous skiers and snowboarders and watch 1.5 hours worth of fever-inducing deep pow segments shot at Baker from a range of different ski/board movies.  Entered a competition without really thinking and got the call on Friday to say that I had won a snowboard .. Arbor Crossbow 162.  Sweet.  Thanks to the kind folks at Fairhaven Bike and Mountain Sports. :)

Bring on the winter…
