Transformers intro

Greatest 80's Animated Series Ever!!!

Transformers Japanese Trailer

80's Icon animated TV series - 'The Transformers' are back to crush the Decepticons!

Forgot the war in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, the real war will be taking place this Summer against the DECEPTICONS!

Transformers, the new STEVEN SPIELBERG movie, is garnering great hype on the net as the 1980's animated series goes Hollywood!

Spielberg's Japanese trailer , is greatly different then the original Transformers The Movie , as Spielberg did not use animation but actors.

Just wanted to add that I have made a special BLOG for the upcoming

I will be reporting live from Lausanne during the upcoming 2 weeks.

Just got back from Whistler and the ridiculous prices of this fab ressort.Everyone is either an Aussie or a Kiwi and all they ever say is DUDE!!!A great place for a brew and a burger is the Whistler Brew house. They have a wicked Hefe Weissen and while you are at the bar, look up where the drinks are and have a look all those name tags beside the beers. No one could explain why those names where up there....

The most wicked part of the trip was a day of extreme biking on the mountain!

Lausanne Trip 

Just finished uploading the pictures from our trip through the Western part of Switzerland.

The first day consisted of visiting the town of Montreux, Chateau Chillon and Gruyeres.

Starting off in Montreux, we decided to go get a view of the town via the grand terrace of the Montreux Palace Hotel

As we wanted to drink something, we asked the waiter to bring us a menu. Out of pure disinterest the waiter never returned with a bar menu, so we left and headed to a great little bistrot down by the water. Talk about NO SERVICE in Swiss Hotels!!!

Next stop was 5 minutes down the road and the beautiful castle of Chillon. As Shaun and Tudor were not in the mood for touring a castle, Adrian, Sarah and myself went to explore the humonguous castle.

The best part of our trip was going afterwards to Gruyeres, the region were the famous cheese is made. Here we had a meal of Double Creme and some sampling of the Gruyeres Cheeses.

To top the day off we explored the old town of Gruyeres with brief walk around the castle and a drink in the coolest, not to be missed bar in Switzerland- the Giger Museum and Bar. The inventor of such movies as Aliens has the coolest way of presenting his version of the future.

We also went to Mont Blanc and had a very saucy Fondue, one that I don't we will forget very soon, right, Adrian!!!???


Have a look at the pictures here !!!!!!

See you all soon!

Chixdiggit - Pink Razors 

Chixdiggit, a Calgary home grown pop-punk band were the head liners at a small venue in the city of Winterthur, Switzerland.
For a band like Chixdiggit to still be playing after 13 years, this is a testament to a band that is all about fun and youthfulness. KJ, the lead singer pops about the stage as a kid who has Attention Deficit disorder. It is hard not to shake and bop to the lyrics as the band played an hour gig.

To listen to the new hit from the crew, check the song out: Geocity Kitties
