I bump into the new co-host for Gung Haggis Fat Choy... It's Shelagh Rogers of CBC Radio's Sounds Like Canada
by
Todd
on Sun 24 Oct 2004 04:16 PM PDT
"Todd!" a voice called out to me, as my eyes adjusted to the semi-darkness. I searched the crowd a recognizable face calling my name.
"It's Shelagh!" said the voice right in front of me. I looked down, and there was a famililar smiling face that I recognized.
Everytime I meet Shelagh Rogers she is warm and effusive.
Having Shelagh Rogers co-host the 2005 Gung Haggis Fat Choy dinner will bring not just the presence of a nationally recognized Canadian media star that truly understands the nature and nurture of Canada, but more importantly a wonderful sense of humour and newfound friendship.

Bangkok Ladyboyz: Review Oct 20 - Plush @ Plaza of Nations, Vancouver Bc
by
Todd
on Thu 21 Oct 2004 02:53 PM PDT
"You will enjoy the show for sure," my friends who had seen ladyboyz shows in Thailand assured me. So when, the announcer invited the audience to come down from their seats to the front of the stage to create a concert fee, my friends and I went down to floor to get the best view of transgendered male bodies in scanty costumes lip-synching to techno dance songs.

Gung Haggis Fat Chili - served and eaten
by
Todd
on Thu 14 Oct 2004 08:03 PM PDT
"Haggis in Chili?" many people asked disbelievingly...
"It's like nothing you have ever tried before"
"Our Chili has lots of heart!"
Standing like a market hawker, I served up chili to people lined up with their plates. While my co-chefs took their turns serving up our creation, I played tunes on my accordion or went around and sampled other chili creations at the 9th Annual City of Vancouver Employee's United Way Chili Cook-Off.
