Tour Diary: You Say Party! We Say Die!
Vancouver's You Say Party! We Say Die! Are touring across the Great White North as I type this. They've been gracious enough to do a Tour Diary for us as they traverse their home country after a month in the USA! USA! USA!. As a side note, they take really nice photos and even if the first post is a day late (apparently there is no Wi-Fi north Barrie) it was worth every minute we sat here nail-biting yesterday. Please enjoy liberally.

Tour Diary: Egyptrixx Part Deux
Our pal, Egyptrixx has just come back from doing some European dates and was kind enough to do a tour diary for us. For all you Spring Breakers, this will be right up your University alley. It's full on existential and a little dreamy. European tours can be like Miroslaw Balka’s How it is, the current Turbine Hall installation at London’s Tate Modern. Balka’s piece - a 4-story tall steel box with a ramp entrance - is evocative and complex. Viewers are faced with a moment...

Tour Dream Diary: Toronto
Tegan and I are at a street fair. There are magicians performing and we stop to watch a man who is shooting arrows that are weightless and hovering in the air above our heads. Another man is doing tricks with a small white sheet. The sheet keeps taking the form...

Tour Diary: Sara Quin of Tegan and Sara Day 1
Sara Quin, 1/2 of super Canadian sister-duo Tegan and Sara (who are just now getting their dues in the press after over a decade of beating the proverbial shit out of the people who DO get all the attention where it counts in tour tickets, downloads and albums sold) is doing a tour diary for us. But it's not just any old tour diary filled with boozy nights and airport talk. Over the next month, Sara's going to detail her dreams on the road. Oh you think that boring do you? Well we've known her for over a decade and...
Tour Diary: Lindsay Knowlton Adidas World Tour, South Africa
We've been following Lindsay Knowlton on her Wear in the World Adidas Golf adventure where she and her colleague from Adidas have the chance to golf around the world in the most extreme conditions to test Adidas apparel. Read below for her adventures in South Africa. I’ve been to Johannesburg before, but after my first trip to Capetown, I can confidently say it is South Africa’s best kept secret. Unfortunately we didn’t have much of a chance to see the nightlife between Great White Shark Diving and golfing, but I hear it’s fantastic and apparently has the feel of a San...

Tour Diary-Lindsay Knowlton Argentina
Bright Lights, Late Nights. The Andes Going from La Paz, Bolivia to Buenos Aires, Argentina was total culture shock. La Paz reminded me how fortunate and lucky we are to live the way we do in Canada. Clean water, homes with walls, jobs and food. The people there lived very modest lives, and in Buenos Aires it’s a whole different world. The way of life is so unlike our fast paced lifestyle in Toronto. It’s a more relaxed and far more social. I’m not sure if anyone ever arrives on time in Buenos Aires! They run on their own clock called “South American...
Tour Diary Lindsay Knowlton-Adidas World
Lindsey Knowlton won a chance to golf in the most extreme conditions with Adidas World. We asked her to blog about her experiences. Read below to find out about Death Valley, and the city of La Paz, Bolivia. In a nutshell adidas world put out a global casting call to all employees. You had a week to submit a 10 min video and answer a long questionnaire. From there they narrowed it to 39 semi finalists, and then down to 9 finalists and it was a month of interviews (both dynamic and individual), written blog projects, golf tests (you had...
On Tour: Barletta LA
Day 1--LA We arrived in LA on Sunday, Memorial Day, and after a brief stay at the hotel to settle in, we went to the club. It was a full-on 1992 rave. 18+ club with the median age somewhere around 15. It was even hard to get a beer. Barletta slayed, duh, and we met two nice young girls in the stiarwell afterwards.
The girl on the left kept asking me if I was a lesbian and a model. I said no to both. She replied with, "too bad, cause you're hot". To both questions.
Egyptrixx Euro Tour–Poland
Here's some news from Egyptrixx who's on a Euro tour. We've ben jealous for weeks!
So I totally overestimated my own ambition in Poland and took an earlier train from Berlin to try and get in some sightseeing - as Polska is 1/4 of my motherland - but really didn't accomplish much beyond eating amazing/gross pizza, walking 4 city blocks, taking a bath and watching 3 straight hours of Rock of Love; not nothing, but just something. The venue in warsaw was a castle, the party was hype but more than anything, everyone I met in...On Tour With Egyptrixx
