Fogcouver!

by Joey deVilla on January 22, 2009

I’m flying out of Vancouver this morning to my next stop – Montreal, where I will be speaking at CUSEC, the Canadian University Software Engineering Conference. There, I’ll deliver my presentation, titled Squeezeboxes, Start-Ups and Selling Out: A Tech Evangelist’s Story.

Vancouver has been covered in fog for the past couple of weeks. They’re close to the record number of days of the pea-soup-thick variety of fog, as shown in the photo below:

I think that this photo needs a teensy bit of editing:

Ah, but did this fog have a distinct smell and leave you feeling mellow and hungry after?

el gumbato: I’ve been away from the fog for hours and still I crave Doritos and have an urge to blast some Phish on the stereo.

What?!?!?

Joey Devilla “The Accordion Guy” was in Vancouver….

and you didn’t contact me?

We could have featured an ACCORDION DUET at the Gung Haggis Fat Choy Robbie Burns 250th Birthday Chinese New Year Eve dinner!

We could have interviewed you for the “Accordion Noir” radio show.

Todd’s right — next time you happen to be passing through Vancouver on a Friday night let us know and we’d love to have you as a celebrity guest on our all-accordion radio show / podcast. Cheers!
