What are you doing this Weekend?


I doubt any of you have anything going on this weekend as exciting as I do.

Some of you may know how little good TV is on during the typical weekday. Wow is it bad. I learned this while I was on maternity leave during 2008-2009. Fortunately, I stumbled across a show while flicking through the never-ending amount of soap operas, talk shows and infomercials. The show is on the Outdoor Life Network (channel 58 in Durham Region) and it is called "Departures". When I first came across it, OLN was airing re-runs of the first season and I became addicted. The show is amazing. I find myself

It features three young men, Scott Wilson, Justin Lukach including a camera man, Andre Dupuis from Brantford, Ontario who are traveling around the world. The show is so successful that not only did it get a second season, but their third season is about the premier on OLN this Saturday evening!!

You might be asking yourself at this point (if you are still reading), what does this have to do with this weekend. Well.... the Departures crew is putting on a VIP Gala in downtown Toronto for the premier that is open for only 300 of their biggest fans are invited to attend. Myself along with two of my good friends have RSVP's and are attending. The event maxed out within 2 hours or so after it was posted on Facebook!!

Check out the following trailors for the show from YouTube:
