Liam gained many new fans with his outstanding performances at Summerfolk. We are eager to hear songs from his excellent debut recording, and new material by this innovative and exciting young songwriter and performer!

Liam has been hard- and soft-rocking in small Canadian bands for years, and has finally begun to release some of his own addictive pop songs under his own moniker, ‘LUM’. The songs incorporate a wide variety of influences, from Bob Dylan to Kanye West. What results is an intelligent mix of bedroom pop and club-banger; where brain meets booty.

You can catch Liam at the Downtown Bookstore (945 2nd Ave. E.) in Owen Sound. Monday, January 4th, 2010. Show is 7:30 – 10:30 pm. Suggested donation is $10. Tickets can be purchased throught the Georgian Bay Folk Society or at the door.

My son recently had a birthday. He had played laser tag before and thought it would be a great way to celebrate his birthday. He invited a couple friends, his sister and one of her good friends. They had a ball. The boys kicked some serious butt the first game, so after that they started mixing things up. There are 7 exciting game scenarios to choose from.

A little about laser tag:
The arena floor houses barriers where players can hide from their opponents. Music, sound effects and simulated fog will fill the air.

Each participant wears a lightweight fibre optic vest and is equipped with a phaser.

The aim is to “tag” the vests of opposing team members with a laser beam as many times as possible during a 10-minute game, while also protecting against opposing shots.

A tagged player is disarmed for five seconds. Sentry pods, which are located in the middle of the arena floor, also fire lasers at players, creating another obstacle.

The phaser emits a radio signal that records each player’s score, based on the number of successful hits, minus tags from an opponent. There are two “home bases” on the arena floor, which can be invaded by opposing teams.

Did I play, not this time… I figured they’d all gang up on the old girl… but be sure that next time I will!

A Natural Image Photography is Christie’s photography business. She came to us wanting to build a web-site that would showcase her work to clients and potential clients. Christie wanted her clients to be able to order their photos online. Together we’ve built her a site that does just that, plus she can blog when she has the time, has galleries, testimonials, news, how to order photos and a page telling you all about herself. We even did a short video that is posted on her homepage… so you can meet her, before you call to book that photo session.

Christie worked with us to learn how to update her site with photos and a blog. If you haven’t had the opportunity to check out the video, please do so. She’s a great lady and it was nice to be able to work with her.

One of the main goals of the camp is to provide each player with the instruction necessary to improve their skills and success throughout the hockey season. They give comprehensive on and off ice instruction, skills training, nutrition info and lots of fun.

The Lees came to us wanting a web site that would allow them to update blog and photos daily during their camp. It is a great site that shows the enthusiasm of the kids who take their camp, the instructors and their qualifications, camp features and contact information. You can download registration forms and their handbook. It’s a great way to know what is happening at camp, what to expect and what kind of schedule is kept… one stop shopping so to speak.

Spaces in the camp fill up fast so, check back in the summer for camp dates and information.

The site looks fabulous. The great photography and blog updates are done by Audrey. They hope to incorporate some video next year. Good luck with next year’s camp. It was great to work with you.
