Osheaga Playlist 2014

March 11, 2014 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Three fans mourn the end of Metric’s set while The Black Keys rock out 50ft to their left.

Starting the year before I moved to Montreal in 2006, the Osheaga Festival Musique et Arts has really exploded in the last few years, reaching 135,000 attendees in 2013 (apparently 70% from outside Québec)- practically busting out into the Saint Lawrence […]

Just me and 84,999 of the world’s other coolest people. City2Surf! City2Surf! This weekend was City2Surf! This event, the world’s largest timed race, takes its runners from the heart of Sydney to Bondi Beach: 85,000 participants, 14 kilometers and a whole lot of amazing and hilarious sights in between. Favourite moments include the plentiful costumes, KISS tribute band, kids screaming you on, impromptu YMCA jog-dancing, stunning views of Sydney harbour at the top of “Heartbreak Hill” and soaring across that […]
