Then yesterday, the White Stripes (huge band for those of you not familiar with these rockers) casually walked into my work, with huge camera crew in tow. I jumped on the chance to show them how to spear throw (they actually asked to do it!). And yes, I shamelessly inquired about the "sold-out-in-10-minutes-concert" and they readily put me on their guest list. Not only did I get on the list, Stephanie (my lucky friend!) and I ended up in front row centre (well, 3rd row) seats! It was awesome in case you were wondering. My relative deafness today is worth it.
Now! I get a call from CBC, who is doing a show this week on debt. I'm not sure whether to be flattered or insulted about them calling me due to my personal debt, but hey, anything to get this student loan nightmare out there to the masses. If for no other reason than to let other massively-in-debt-frustrated-students arm themselves with knowledge and power to take on the mess that comes with student loans.
It'll be on Sounds Like Canada at 10:30 on Thursday I'm told.
In the meantime, here's some photos of 1/2 the White Stripes practicing the atlatl. (a phrase I never thought I'd be saying...)
They don't stand out or anything do they?!?! :)

Funky hats.
The Mrs. says that being rich means being able to dress like a pirate in public. Being a rock star means that you can dress like Darren Stevens (Bewitched) in public, I guess.
What the hell are the White Stripes doing in Whitehorse. This has got to be the most random thing I've ever seen.
I'm going to Witchita...

I caught the tail end of the piece on CBC today -- from what I heard, it sounded like it went fairly well!
It was certainly amusing to hear the economist say that student loans "actually aren't that much of a burden." Boy, he mustn't get out much...
you have no idea how jealous i am.
wow.
wow.
