thank you ALL for all the love.
you all RULE.

what are you doing here?
the show's over.

although there might be more shows in the future. who knows? you might have to keep checking back here. *gasp*

one rainy idle tuesday night in some random month of kreptober, you'll be surfing the net aimlessly and you'll remember that once upon a time, a webpage such as this existed. and you'll come back here and there'll be a bunch of new and exciting announcements for other upcoming performances.

but not this time :)

good night. eat your vegetables, dance while you wait, and always, always, ALWAYS stop and smell the flowers.

how do you like THEM goody bags?

WHAT? an evening of music with kristin & russell.
YEAH, BUT WHAT EXACTLY? well, geez. a variety of stuff. classical art songs. jazz. musical theatre tunes. piano playin'. beware... a trumpet duet. and free door prizes and goody bags, darn it!
WHEN? I DON'T READ. THURSDAY, APRIL 20th at 8pm.
WHERE? UBC School of Music (6361 Memorial Road), Gessler Hall (room 116 in the basement/1st floor)
HOW MUCH? free.
HOW? i dunno.
BUT WHY? not for credit, not for marks. we just want to. it could be fun, if you stopped asking so many questions.
WHY? because we can.

WAYS TO GET HERE (UBC Music Building, 6361 Memorial Road):

... by BUS / FOOT

- take the 99 B-Line or any bus that says “UBC” on it
- get off at the very last stop (UBC bus loop)
- walk towards the corner of East Mall and Memorial Road so that:

Brock Hall - West Wing is behind you
(http://www.maps.ubc.ca/PROD/index_detail.php?show=y,n,n,n,n,y&bldg2Search=n&locat1=112)

Buchanan Tower is to your right
(http://www.maps.ubc.ca/PROD/index_detail.php?show=y,n,n,n,n,y&bldg2Search=n&locat1=120)

Irving K. Barber Learning Centre (or “Main Library”) is on your left
(http://www.maps.ubc.ca/PROD/index_detail.php?show=y,n,n,n,n,y&bldg2Search=n&locat1=516)

- keep walking down Memorial Road

- if you pass that W. Robert Wyman concrete plaza thingie, you’re on the right track!
(http://www.maps.ubc.ca/PROD/index_detail.php?show=y,n,n,n,n,y&bldg2Search=n&locat1=N033)

- keep walking ahead, and keep your eyes peeled for the giant tuning fork (big brown metal thing that looks like a fat twig)
(http://www.maps.ubc.ca/PROD/index_detail.php?show=y,n,n,n,n,y&bldg2Search=n&locat1=575)

the music building is directly to its right!

... by CAR / BATMOBILE:

(coming from the South, i.e. Richmond and other wayward places, tee hee.)

- take SW Marine Drive all the way down, baby.

- SW Marine Drive becomes NW Marine Drive

- as Marine Drive becomes less of a “highway” and more of a "winding road", on your left, you’ll see weird sketchy bushes concealing Wreck Beach. This is a good sign.

- you’ll drive by things like Totem Park residence, Lower Mall Research Station, and Place Vanier residence on your right. You’re getting close.

- you’ll see a sign for Nitobe Memorial Gardens on your right. You’re red-hot.

- Immediately keep your eyes peeled for West Mall, because that’s where you’ll be turning RIGHT

[If you pass by the Chan Centre, you’ve gone too far]

- You’re now on West Mall. Go straight for a brief distance until you hit Memorial Road.

- You can either turn left on Memorial Rd. into the parking lot and try to find meter parking
(the Music Building is at the top of the stairs at the end of this parking lot!)

- OR you can turn right on Memorial Rd. and park in the Fraser River Parkade ($3.50 Evening Flat Rate, I think.)

Are you excited? We are! Our numbers are looking and sounding better and better. We think it's going to be a really fun night!

So many people are/will be helping us put this together- we're lucky to have such talented and cool friends! Byron's helped me with the goody bags, Emma and Elijah are going to greet you as you arrive, and then there are the guest performers...

Happy Easter everyone!

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them! Someone else is probably wondering too- like the one about Gessler Hall.

Okay- I'm off to work on the goody bags. Buh-bye! - R

This countdown is about to get intense!

Here's a map of where the UBC Music Building is, in case you don't live there like some of us....

And in case you've been wondering what K's haiku was......
(drumroll.....)
Kristin and Russell
are singing in a concert
and it will be good

Isn't that elegant?! I wouldn't have ever thought of it.
Obviously she's the brains of the outfit.

And the beauty...

hmmmmm....

what am I, then?

Maybe the commercials.

ttfn!

who we are...

Thu, 30 Mar 2006 17:14:03 GMT

Well, some of our newest posters say who we are, so it's time to write it here too.

We are Kristin Fung and Russell Cripps, two voice majors at UBC, who are putting on a concert on April 20th, in Gessler Hall at the UBC Music Building.

It's going to be SO fun! We're not required to perform, and nobody's marking us, so this is our chance to sing our favourite songs.

I was going to put some of our fun poster pictures here, but I'm inept, or this site won't let me. But you can link to http://www.flickr.com/photos/26483700@N00/
to see them.

I think that's all for now. 21 days left!

Yes indeed- there will be goody bags, and free door prizes! No false advertising on our posters.
As for the warthogs, honeysuckle, schoolgirls, Paganini, therapists, and triple lattes.... we're not lying, but we're not promising to hand them out to all of you. That's a lot to ask!
Keep an eye out for new posters, or come back here for more info.

37 days left!
