Vancouver and MTV News circa 1995

Found on SLOG (The Stranger's online blog - check it out at slog.thestranger.com), this video is a seemingly ancient (only from 1995) MTV news segment talking about the internet.  Enjoy!  Also, MTV celebrated its 30th birthday yesterday!  Is anyone else shocked that "Video Killed the Radio Star" which was the first song ever played on MTV is now 30 years old?

In things not on crappy but enjoyable cable television, Audrey and I had a great time in Vancouver.  As you can tell by my previous post about green cards, I lost mine while travelling.  Andie's looking for it, and I sure hope that it still turns up!  Here are some great pictures (also posted on facebook) from our adventures.

Swisher Sweet advertisment from the Tulalip Indian Reservation.  Note woman in the center of the advert really enjoying her cheap, grape cigar.

Andie at the Granville Island Brewery (www.gib.ca), where we intended to take a tour but instead just ordered sampler platters of different microbrews.  Tasty!

Audrey at the restaurant Bridges, right at the end of Granville Island.  They served some delicious tuna sashimi, and some spicy Bloody Marys!

Overall, we had a really great time.  I really appreciated being able to understand Andie's non-stop, busy lifestyle while also meeting her new (and great) friends from film school!   Let's hope that my green card is located so I can go back up before summertime ends! :)
