summersonic at citadel hill in halifax.

a bunch of my friends and i decided to hit up summersonic in halifax, featuring bands such as city and colour, wintersleep, the weakerthans, and stars (among many more.) bands were scheduled for both saturday and sunday from 4-11pm. the entire weekend was a blast, save for a few minor mishaps (i.e. not being allowed in to the venue because of my camera gear) that were quickly remedied (apparently matt is allowed to bring in as much camera gear as he wants, even if it's mine.)

the concert was fantastic, but it really shined when stars took the stage. i think that if you ask anyone who was standing in the pouring rain singing along, they would tell you the same thing: stars completely stole the show. they were incredible. luckily, i was able to fire off a few shots before the rain started to come down in sheets.

if you ever get a chance to go see stars, do it. you'll thank me for it.

i'm in love with songbird.

songbird is awesome. seriously. if you don't know already, it's an open source media player built on the mozilla xul engine. it already has a plethora of extensions written for it, and development on the project is progressing rapidly.

i'm attaching a screenshot of me having a bit of fun with it on my laptop.. i'll definitely be blogging more about this later.
