			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Flickr - Buskerfest" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/zoedisco/2559667848/in/set-72157605485328318/" target="_self"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-202" style="border: 5px solid black;" title="Buskerfest sign" src="http://www.mediumandthemessage.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/buskerfest-002.jpg" alt="" width="243" height="187" /></a>We just came home from our first <a title="Buskerfest" href="http://www.downtowndundas.ca/" target="_self">Annual Dundas Buskerfest</a> for a refueling. <a title="Spanky" href="http://www.mediumandthemessage.com/index.php?s=spanky+2.0" target="_self">The dog </a>was beat but it was hot and she was excited by all the goings-on. Plus, she is just the belle-of-the-ball wherever she goes. We had to stop for a lot of pettings&#8230;which I&#8217;m sure she didn&#8217;t mind.</p>
<p>Anyway, I got a chance to look at the film &#8211; er, shots? we no longer use film..lol &#8211; that I took. I have to say, I&#8217;m really pleased with the little bit I&#8217;ve checked out and I&#8217;m excited to get started with the editing and putting it all together. I have a feeling it&#8217;s going to take me some time to get right so I thought I would write a little blog post about my day so far.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s awesome. Everyone I&#8217;ve asked to be on film says &#8220;okay, sure!&#8221; and they don&#8217;t question me when I say I&#8217;m a video blogger. Although I don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s cuz they are really into social media or if it&#8217;s becasue they are really polite and don&#8217;t want to say &#8220;What they hell is that?&#8221; Either way, it&#8217;s a very pleasant interaction.</p>
<p>I would have to say my highlight, so far, was getting a chance to hear the fusion sounds of a 2 piece band from Australia (go Oz!) called <a title="Oka music site" href="http://www.okamusic.com" target="_blank">Oka</a>. I bought their CD &#8220;<a title="Half Lazy Half Crazy" href="http://okamusic.com/Oka_music.html" target="_self">Half Lazy, Half Crazy</a>&#8221; (and I can&#8217;t remember the last time I bought a CD) AND I&#8217;m listening to it now as we speak. I mean, as I type.</p>
<p>I want to go back to their area and ask if I can play one of their tunes on the site. Or even better, if they&#8217;ll let me use it for this video (or any video). If I don&#8217;t run into them again here I will hunt them down online. I&#8217;m good at investigating. Plus they have a <a title="Oka site" href="http://www.okamusic.com" target="_self">website</a>, are on <a title="Oka Facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/OKA/22544216832" target="_self">Facebook</a> and <a title="My Space Oka" href="http://www.myspace.com/okamusic" target="_self">MySpace</a>. That should be easy for me. <img src='http://www.mediumandthemessage.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Well, we&#8217;re just about ready to head out again. The dog is pooped and will be much happier in her crate, taking a nap. Hubby and I are going out again; this time probably for food (that all falls in the <a title="My Nutrisystem Videos" href="http://www.mediumandthemessage.com/category/nutrisystem/" target="_self">Nutrisystem plan.</a> <img src='http://www.mediumandthemessage.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Oh, and enjoy the pic up their.  It&#8217;s a preview of my video, I suppose. At the time of writing this I hadn&#8217;t picked which photo I will show so, I can&#8217;t explain it but I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s good.</p>
<p>Okay&#8230;I&#8217;m a dummy and impatient. I don&#8217;t know how to upload pictures to the new version of wordpress. I tried and it didn&#8217;t work. I&#8217;m sure I will figure it out soon enough but in the meantime I want to go back out and enjoy the sun. So, here is the link http://www.flickr.com/photos/zoedisco/2559667848/ to the photo that SHOULD be showing off my blog post nicely. Oh well.</p>
<p>UPDATE: Apparently the problem was not with the user (yeah!) but a back end issue that Hubby and I solved this morning. Enjoy the picture!</p>
