A 27 min video of “Stephen Colbert in Vancouver” taped Live at Creekside Park next to Science World on Wednesday 2/17. Stephen’s guests included Michael Bublé & Bob Costas. Highlights include Stephen Colbert & Michael Buble singing the lyrics to O Canada to the tune of Star Spangled Banner, Bob Costas “Riding The Moose” and a proud moment for me as I get Stephen and the entire crowd to echo “Chanting Whores”.

Video of the crowds in Vancouver, The Olympic Cauldron, and the moment when Alexandre Bilodeau won Canada’s first Gold Medal & the crowds at Robson Square reaction to it.

KD Lang ‘Hallelujah’ performance at Winter Olympics was breathtaking: Video of KD Lang singing with the crowds reaction at Robson Square

Complete luck! We were trying to follow the touch out near UBC and missed it, we just decided to just go downtown for no particular reason. We saw crowds of people still along the road near the Granville Bridge so, we parked the car about 6 blocks away and ran back and waited for the torch. When the torch got close to us the crowd came rushing along with it. After being knocked around we  looked to see if we got anything. Shannon managed to get a single clean shot right before she nearly got knocked over and trampled. Not only was is a decent shot! To our amazement it was Michael Bublé, one of our past clients.

Video of the mob behind Michael as he runs with the torch, which shoved and pushed everyone in their path. Police followed behind oblivious to it all and did a poor job of controlling the crowd.

We just got home from the Peak Performance Project Finale.  Congratulations to We Are The City’s first place win and $150.000.00 prize.  The Left came second and won $75,000, while Bend Sinister came in Third but still rocked the house and won $50,000.  It was an amazing night and all of the Peak Performance Projects bands & artist all have bright futures.  Here are just a handful of photos we took this evening.

Also made available online, the clip features famous British Columbians Steve Nash, Ryan Reynolds, Michael J. Fox, Erick McCormack, Kim Cattrall and Sarah McLachlan.

Several months ago we were asked to take part in the Peak Performance Project, which is a seven year, $5.29 million contest open to all musicians in British Columbia created by 100.5 The PEAK FM and Music BC to develop BC based emerging artists. Our part was to give a seminar on web design & development but the experience will be remembered a truly magical event.

The week long event was held at the beautiful Rock Ridge Canyon Resort in Princeton BC.  From the moment we arrived, which was closer to end of the week, you could feel something in the air, put that many talented artists in one spot and an amazing things happen.
