...the winner (by draw of a random co-worker) is Brenton Ives!......except since Brenton not being from this planet, he will not be able to attend on Friday.....so the real winner is MOE.
She wins two tickets to the show on Friday and a copy of the Immaculate Machine and Smothered in hugs cd's!
Thanks to everyone that entered, there was about twenty people or so, which is great for my first contest!
Priestess is up next!!

ECMA 2010
(Sydney, NS) – The East Coast Music Association announced today at the Capri Cabaret, Sydney, the artists who will perform on the official ECMA showcase stages as part of the 2010 East Coast Music Awards, Festival & Conference set for Cape Breton from March
4-7.
“The artists announced today represent the premier up-and-coming, export-ready acts in our region,” said Su Hutchinson, executive director of the East Coast Music Association. “The well-earned reputation of our East Coast artists will be on display in a weekend full of exceptional talent here in Cape Breton. The lineup is deep and diverse - there will be something for every musical taste at the biggest party of the year.”
Showcase performers submitted their names to the East Coast Music Association in September, with the selections determined by six separate juries of industry professionals representing the ECMA’s five regions: New Brunswick, mainland Nova Scotia, Cape Breton, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island.
“This event is all about showcasing the best we have to offer,” said Eric Favaro, Event Chair for ECMA 2010 Cape Breton. “We’ve assembled a fantastic range of musicians to entertain both the people of Cape Breton, and visitors and delegates from around the world. From March 4th to 7th, the best in East Coast music come together for one incredible weekend.”

Soda Pop Odyssey
So for more times than I care to remember, I have tried to give up or at least cut down on the amount of soda's I drink in the run of day/week/month.
So I thought maybe if I write about it, I might have more of a reason to not fall off the wagon(or on the wagon? Seinfeld anyone?).
So far today I have had two glasses of water and a bottle of chocolate milk.
Now, I have a problem. I have a half a bottle of Coke sitting next to me at work, left over from last night. Tempting!
I thought that since Root Beer doesn't have as much caffeine, at least advertised as having less that it would be better, but thanks to a tip from Andrew Sisk, I did some checking.
According to http://www.cocacola.ca
250ml of coke vs Barq's root beer.
The coke has 26mg of caffeine and 30g of sugar, the Barq's has 15mg of caffeine but a whopping 31mg of sugar!!
YOWZA.
Pepsi has even more sugar!
355ml of Pepsi has 41g of sugar and 38mg of caffeine.
Mug's root beer does have zero caffeine, but still has over 20g's of sugar.
Stupid sugar.
While writing this I have polished off that bottle of Coke, it was more like a 1/4 of a bottle, not a half.

5 Quick questions.
First off, who are you and what band are you in?
Ryan Crane. Lead singer of Smothered In Hugs. I also play guitar in a new Charlottetown freak-pop band, The Death Avengers.
1. So you are in a band, how is that going for you?
Two bands. It's going double well.
2. What is the longest you've ever gone wearing the same pair of pants?
I'll let you know when I take them off. Hehe Haha.
3. In your dreams, how many strings are on your bass players bass?
I don't know if I've ever dreamt about this, but if I did, Josh would be playing a harp. So maybe 46 strings? He'd also be wearing a Hulk Hogan bandana and have one foot in a bucket of gravy.
4. If you are from the east coast, do you ever see yourself moving further inland?
I need to see ocean. Lot's of ocean. Or else!! Plus I like it here. But who knows.
5. If you were a fighter pilot, what would your call sign be?
Either "Rosebud" or "Skull Fucker"
Remember, if you want to win two tickets to the Immaculate Machine & Smothered in Hugs show+Immaculate Machine CD+Smothered in Hugs CD.
