Long weekend and we headed down to Beachfest put on by the MIX 99.9. It was at Sunnyside Beach in Toronto and there were alot of people along the waterfront because of a excellent Air show that was on for a good part of the afternoon. The main reason we went down was to see Serena Ryder. She is a soulful Canadian artist who Erika has been listening to for almost a year now I guess. Chantal Kreviazuk came on once we got into position. She sounded excellent on piano and received a nice response from her hometown crowd. Then Kalan Porter came on and sang a few of his own then butchered U2’s Where The Streets Have No Name.

So many of the teenagers bolted to get an autograph after Kalan’s show and that allowed for Erika and I to get right up to the front for Serena Ryder. Erika couldn’t believe how close we were and watched the entire show from my shoulders. Chantal and Justin came up to join us too after awhile. Erika snapped photos with here own camera and I grabbed a bunch myself. The show was great and after we headed to the side to get Serena’s autograph…. definitely worth the trip down to Lake Ontario.
