Hey my digi darlings out there!
Rolled into Banff in time to make it for cocktails at the opening reception of nextMEDIA. Had heard nextMEDIA was much quieter than the TV Fest so wasn’t expecting much, but I must say that I was delighted to find a room full of vibrant, energetic digiridooroos!

Oh and there were several sexy in van cities there! Was positively excited to stumble into a photo being taken by none other than Mr Facebook – especially since, as I am sure you know, he is always good for a hug and kiss. Never seen Canada’s Coal Girl in finer form as she interviewed the digi delightful on the red carpet. I laughed as I saw the firefly entertaining herself by pinning the delegates chests with “Blog It”, “Flickr It” and “You Tube It” buttons. Never the shy one! Didn’t see Not-So-Static there, but he was obviously about as his mug is all over the festival’s new stream “nextMEDIA Exposed.” And if I dare say so myself, the boy obviously has balls with some of his exposes. I highly recommend having a watch.

Would like to think of myself as a shy shrinking violet, but I gather others don’t as when one of Van Cities wilder women saw me coming she blurted out “Oh no – I just felt my liver do a flip and I was going to be so good this weekend.” Yeah right – but then storytelling has always been a gift of hers!
As for me, I was as innocent as ever. Following a new mantra that I heard from a Banff old boy, “the oxygen is thin, so mix it up – one water for every beer – or you may find that you are no longer a Banff virgin.” Pondered that thought as I called it an early night to enjoy the company of my Banff host and ex-lover.
