The Hills are Alive with the Sound of AWESOME

Remember that time Sound of Music started today? Oh yeah, that’s today. Remember that time we were looking for the cube? Oh yeah, we found it. And we didn’t need three hours or Megan Fox to do it – what do you think this is, a Michael Bay movie? No, this is a Sally Fitzgibbon production. We do things efficiently, cheerfully and with a delightfully charming British accent (and on a much tighter budget).

With our charisma restored, we can once again resume our witty and entertaining coverage of Burlington and its events. To start it off, last week featured not one but TWO exciting festivals!! Numerous locations across Burlington welcomed visitors as part of Doors Open and the Burlington Art Centre hosted the Fine Art and Craft Festival. All in all, another awesome weekend in Burlington.

As we remembered at the beginning of the blog, tonight is the start of BURLINGTON’S SOUND OF MUSIC FESTIVAL. And tonight’s gonna be a good night. We’ve got a feeling. Since We Are Bravest (Thursday 7:00pm), we thought we’d give you a little preview of the weekend’s line-up. For Those About to Rock (Thursday 8:30pm), as long as you have Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust with Tinkerbell (Sunday 5:00pm), you’ll be The Bee’s Knees (Saturday 2:00pm and 4:00pm). You’re Practically Hip (Thursday 10:00pm) if you’re a Great Lake Swimmer[s] (Saturday 3:30pm). People are coming all the way from the Marianas Trench (Thursday 9:45pm) and even the Lighthouse (Friday 9:30pm). The Irish Descendents (Saturday 8:00pm) will be bringing their Small Potatoes (Sunday 2:00pm) and the Two Crown King[s] (Saturday 9:00pm) will be bringing Jason Collett (Friday 8:00pm). Even if you live 2112 (Thursday 7:00pm) miles away, you should come out and witness the New York Dolls (Saturday 3:30pm). Hey Rosetta! (Saturday 8:00pm) – that includes you. For more details, visit www.soundofmusic.ca.

As the very friendly man from an unnamed Canadian satellite TV provider came and fixed our satellite, Tourism Burlington is now proud to host the World Cup (disclaimer: we are not actually hosting the World Cup. It is in South Africa. But we are broadcasting the games live on our large television!). Your travel counselors each have a favourite team (but we all know England is the best. We refuse to talk about that goal). Come on in, grab a bite to eat from Pane Fresco and cheer on your teams!

Before we sign off, we’d like to send a special shout out to our former comrade, A-Nelz. She is currently saving the entire province of Nova Scotia, no big deal.

Stand by,
K&A.
