July 9, 2010 - Hotter than Hades

Stinky hot. Compared to other parts of the country, likely not...but for here, stiflingly hot. Sucks the life right out of you. A little humidity (again, nothing like Ontario humidity), and all you want to do is catch up on the sleep you didn't get the night before. Of course, you could be like MC Mic Control and not sleep at all during SkaFest week. He's been commuting back and forth between Nanaimo and Victoria...working during the day, and at night magically transforming himself into "Ska-Man"! Skanking out like no-one can, that's our MC.

A big Loom shout out to Voicedude...who on earth would ever think of doing a mashup of Jim Croce and the Black Eyed Peas? He did, and it works crazy good!
