May 19, 2012 By Emme Leave a Comment

For those of you that have been reading along the past few months, you may recognize the name Ross Neilsen, the dark, mysterious, and terribly funny Blues Man that has been finding his way into mine and Roamancing’s stories as we keep bumping into him on the road. We’ll I am pleased to say, he is rolling into Vancouver today, just in time for my homecoming.

You can catch Ross tonight (Saturday May 19th, 2012) and me with my feet a stomping at Pat’s Pub and Brewhouse at 403 E. Hastings St. at Dunlevy Ave in Vancouver. Show starts at 9 pm.

Curious as to what Ross sounds like? Here is my favourite youtube video of him:

Tonight he will be playing with his new band, which I am very much looking forward to hearing. The band includes Karl Gans (previously from Ross Neilsen & the Suffering Bastards) and Young Will Pacey (the new band mate). Speaking of which I am a little overdue sharing Episode 3 of Ross and Karl’s Great Bass Search (for Episode 1 & 2 , click on the links), so here are the fools themselves:

Really, how can you not love these boys with classy videos such as that.

Hope to see you at the Show tonight.

Kisses,

Emme xoxo

Egyptian Daily Diaries: Red Boot Roamancing on the Red Sea

May 9, 2012 By Emme Leave a Comment

Having a good chuckle at our producer, Erica Hargreave, and her obsession with the Roamancing Red Boots. Little did she know why they got us so many smiles and laughs in Egypt. I found out though with the help of my super sleuthing skills.

Egyptian Daily Diaries: Fayoum ~ Ancient Seabed to Budding Artists

May 3, 2012 By Emme 3 Comments

Despite the best laid out plans, corrupt video, internet connectivity and far too much fun held up my Egyptian Daily Diaries, but I did still film them and will be sharing them with you now that I am back home.

From Day 2 of our Egyptian holiday and a fascinating day trip to Fayoum, here are Lucy Duck and I, from the fabulous tub at the Fairmont Nile City Cairo:

A few pics from the day and a tease of what’s to come from some more involved posts on Fayoum on Roamancing:

Egyptian Daily Diaries: Roamancing Jet Lag in Cairo

April 21, 2012 By Emme 5 Comments

I’m writing this post while watching the sunset over the Nile from my king size bed at the gorgeous Fairmont Cairo Nile City. Why?

Yes, it’s true, life is rough, and work this week has taken my digital tales to Egypt to demonstrate some ‘real’ time digital storytelling for the UNWTO Media and Tourism Conference: Partnering with Media in Challenging Times in Egypt with Daniel Noll and Audrey Scott of Uncornered Market and Lucy Duck and Erica Hargreave of Roamancing. You can read more about it on UnCornered Market and Ahimsa Media:
