Just one more sleep until the 2006 edition of the beloved (in my books) Halifax Pop Explosion gets underway. I’m all a-frantic trying to get everything ready for this annual rockstravaganza (and also filmstravaganza, zinestravaganza, craftstravaganza, etc. ad nauseum). Best to make a check list to calm myself before bed:
Earplugs? Check!
Notepad? Check!
Camera? Check!
Flash? Check!
Batteries? Scattered about the house, some charged, some not. Might be best to pick up a few back ups.
Five-day pass? I’ll have my staff pick it up tomorrow (and by “my staff” I mean me).
Schedule? Printed out and heavily marked up.
Gilbert Switzer pin? You betcha.
Let’s do this.
