Friday, October 23rd — Beer and Birthday Benefit

Monday, October 19th, 2009

If you know me at all, you know that I LOVE my birthday! I don’t know what it is about it, but every year, I get excited about it, and make sure that I have plans to do something fun. This year is no different, and I’ve decided to do something that is both fun for me, and my friends…AND support a great cause!

So if you’re in Vancouver this coming Betsy's Birthday and Beer Benefit, make sure you come to Ceili’s Irish Pub for “Betsy’s Beer and Birthday Benefit” (with a title like that, it’s got to be good, right?). Here are 3 great reasons for you to attend!

#1 It’s Betsy’s Birthday
#2 Beer Tasting: For this event, we will be hosting an exclusive tasting of Black Tree Dark Ale, a new beer from Tree Brewing that was created in support of the BC Fire ReLeaf Fund
#3 Benefit: In lieu of the extravagant gifts you would typically give me :) , I am asking for donations in support of the BC Fire ReLeaf program, an initiative developed by Tree Canada to reforest the regions of the Okanagan that were devastated by this summer’s wildfires.

And if that’s not enough, there will be samplings of Black Tree, appetizers, and of course, cake!

Date:  Friday, October 23, 2009

Time: 4:00 – 8:00PM

Place: Ceili’s Irish Pub, Banshee Room

Entry: By Donation

Tax receipts can be issued for donations over $20. Please provide cash or cheque, payable to Tree Canada

See you Friday!Betsy's Birthday and Beer Benefit

Spam Central!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything here, and there are a few reasons for that. One…it’s busy days!!! So many great things going on over the summer and through September, including a fabulous event for the Inaugural Gastown Blues & Chili Festival! It was an amazing event with incredible Blues by a number of local acts including Ronnie Hayward, Steve Kozak’s West Coast Blues Revue, The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer, and Blues Legend, Jim Byrnes! The day was top notch, and we really appreciated all of the support from the Gastown community. Congrats to our two Chili contest winners! Deacon’s Corner was crowned Champion, and Chill Winston won the People’s Choice Award! Well done everyone…next time, more chili!

But the second reason that I haven’t been posting, is I’ve been inundated with spam! It started off slow, and has been increasing daily. This morning I woke up to 10 new spam messages! Hopefully that will end soon…if you have any insights, I’d love to hear them!

The Fall and Winter season look super busy too…there’s some big event happening in February, I believe it’s the 2010 Olympic Winter Games!?!? Lots going on with that, and to be shared soon!
