conan contest

the beards crew busted off a quick (very quick) contest entry for the conan show during the summer. swing and a miss but got some good practice in. here is the actual entry by everyone and the boards i scrambled together from the contest.

festival summer

the little hotdog scamp saw a lot of ground this summer; due to his festival appearances. popular fella it seems.

especially with the frequent flying during the Air Canada Enroute Festival, he became a mile high club member of sorts, not bad for a polar bear i reckon.
