CLUB BUD PRIVATE NHL PARTY

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

We hit up another night at the invite-only Club Bud NHL party at the Commodore Ballroom. I had an absolute blast tonight… there were tons of celebrities on the red carpet and partying inside Club Bud tonight, and it was nice to hang out with a couple of new and old friends.

Me, Amy, John and Rebecca

Here’s myself, Amy, Chris Walts, and Rebecca Bollwit inside Club Bud.

Here’s a photo I took of Chris Walts (the other Club Bud Party Crasher winner) and his friend Mike before the craziness started. Also check out the cute couple Rebecca and John Bollwit who were there to take photos/report on the red carpet as well!

Michael Buble and Lainey Liu (Lainey Gossip)

Lainey Gossip (Lainey Liu) showed up on the red carpet with none other than Michael Bublé! She also showed up with Matthew Morrison and Mark Salling from Glee who all went out to dinner together. I’d say that Lainey rolls with a pretty awesome entourage! ;)

Michael Buble and me

I managed to grab a photo with him and make a stupid face :)

Mark Salling (Glee) and Lainey Gossip

Here’s Lainey and Mark Salling (Puck) from Glee.

Matthew Morrison (Glee)

Matthew Morrison (Will Schuester from Glee) was also there. I managed to get a photo with every celebrity tonight but in the interest of not showing my ugly mug beside their famous faces I cropped myself out of most of the photos, haha.

Jon Hamm (Mad Men)

Here’s the very sexy Jon Hamm from Mad Men.

Hayden Christensen Hayden Christensen

Hayden Christensen (Star Wars) was also there.

Logan Huffman (V)

Logan Huffman, from the TV series ‘V’ was also in attendance with real-life and on-screen friend Jesse Wheeler (plays Brandon in ‘V’) was there. I am a HUGE fan of ‘V’ (and sci-fi in general… the world needs more sci-fi shows) and I could not have been more excited to see them there. I ended up fangirling quite a bit with them, and Amy and I ended up talking to them most of the night. They were fun to hang out with!

Stana Katic (Castle) Stana Katic (Castle)

I was also excited to see Stana Katic there from the TV show ‘Castle’… she’s a great actress and it’s my favourite Monday night show. She was super nice.

Warren Christie (Actor) CTV News Reporter and Canadian Comedian Geoff Stults and Warren Christie (Actors) Cammi Granato (US Women's Hockey)

Also in attendance were Cammi Granato (US women’s hockey captain), Geoff Stults (October Road, Wedding Crashers), Warren Christie (October Road), and tons of TV station reporters.

The hockey ice sculptures inside were rad.

It was a great night! I took a photo of Amy with the Glee cast as well, and here’s Chris Walts, Sunny (organizer of Club Bud from Karyo-Edelman) and myself… I’m making a pout/duck face because I am super tired after two nights of partying!

Phew! Well, big Canada-USA hockey game tomorrow. Can’t believe it’s only Day9/10 of the Olympics now. Is there really another week to go? Crazy!

I’M THE NEW CLUB BUD PARTY CRASHER! AND PHOTOS FROM CAN-SWE HOCKEY!

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

I am super excited to finally announce that I have been selected as the Club Bud Party Crasher! Wohoooo!

Club Bud is going to be hosting some of the most exclusive parties here in Vancouver during the Olympics so I am very pumped to be able to attend some of them. The other Party Crasher that has been selected is Chris Walts, so you can follow him and follow me on Twitter to get all the updates from the parties when we attend. I also understand that Miss604 is going to be attending some of the parties as well.

The Commodore Ballroom is going to be transformed into Club Bud, so it’s going to be an awesome venue. It’s about 19,000 square feet and they are expecting over 1,000 celebrities and athletes to attend the parties. It’s going to be seriously epic!

Here is the rundown of the Club Bud parties… I am going to be attending some of them… stayed tuned on my blog and Twitter for coverage:

Friday, February 19: The Burton party! This is SUCH a perfect fit for me as you know I’m a huge fan of Burton. They are saying Shaun White might attend!
Saturday, February 20: The NHL party. Chris and I will be attending this one!
Thursday, February 25: The famous Budweiser party. I’ll be at this one! Super excited.
Friday, February 26: Under Armour party… another Chris party!
Saturday, February 27: The Lululemon party… I’m going to this one!

I get to bring a guest to each event… so if you are interested in attending… just hit me up on Twitter or leave a comment on why I should bring you! :)

In other news, Allan and I got to attend the Team Canada vs. Sweden Women’s Hockey Game at UBC Thunderbird arena.

The Women's Sticks

We had really amazing seats… Row 1 right beside the Canadian player’s bench!

Kim St. Pierre giving us a smile

The game was a bit of a blowout, but we had an amazing time cheering on our team and it was impressive to see the skill level of the Canadian team.

She shoots... She scores!

We ended up seeing tons of goals.

Meghan Agosta

Meghan Agosta had an incredible game and ended up with a hat trick.

Hayley Wickenheiser

Hayley Wickenheiser is an icon, and I loved getting to see her get a goal and see her lead the team.

Kim St. Pierre smiles at the bench

Kim St. Pierre watches happily as the clock counts down to zero and Canada wins! Kim St. Pierre shut Sweden out for two periods, and then they let Charline Labonte play a period. Kim was such a sweetie on the bench… she smiled for photos and even made sure she wasn’t blocking our view during the game! Thanks Kim!

Team Canada celebrates their win

Here’s Team Canada celebrating.

Little girl stoked to catch a stick

This little girl and a couple other kids managed to get some sticks from the players. I thought it was awesome they took the time to throw their sticks over the glass.

The crowd goes wild!

Canada ended up winning 13-1. I am really happy that we got to experience women’s hockey at the Olympics and I can’t wait to see them progress throughout the tournament!
