So, yeah, the Juno Awards was a bit of a blow-out. Nelly Furtado hosted, performed, and took home five awards. TV viewership was way down. k-os performed with Saskatchewan Roughrider cheerleaders and then smashed his guitar. Kill me now.

Let's focus on the positives. Billy Talent and smoke machines. Patrick Watson. AOF taking screamo prime time. The Bob Rock tribute. DJ Champion.

Juno Awards aside, the weekend was a blast. On Friday night I hit the MTV party put on by Pink Mafia, jumped over to the Exclaim! Spring Fling Tour at the Odeon where Malajube and DJ Champion rocked out, and then went back to the MTV party for some basement dance action with my friends from MTV and Bedlam. I think I went to bed at 4 am or something.

Saturday was the Rockstar Hotel party at Hotel Senator. I left the venue at 5 am (the party was still going on) and got an hour of sleep before having to go back to the hotel for tear-down.

I finally got some rest on Sunday afternoon before heading out to the Juno Awards that night. After the award show I hit the Universal Music party at Earl's which was amazing. Everyone was there and it was one of the best parties of the weekend (after the Rockstar Hotel of course). Hit the EMI party before heading back to my hotel by 3 am.

All in all I think I got like six hours of sleep in three days.
