ECMAs, favourites & contests
I'm headed to the ECMAs this weekend in Corner Brook, Newfoundland.
Population 20,083. No Rogers cell phone coverage. None of that will matter though, cause it'll be a party!
I'm going to resurrect my tour blog and attempt to keep it updated for the weekend. Here's the link:
