Brrrrrr….the first week of January is done, and only 8-12 more weeks of winter!! Hooray!! The great news is that the Rideau Canal is now open thanks to the unbearably cold weather. But if you’re not a fan, let’s escape the cold with some great events happening this week around the city. There are two great shows running this week with Legally Blonde, the Musical, at UOttawa and Getting to Room Temperature, being performed at The Gladstone Theatre. If you’re getting married, this is your week!!! There are two wedding shows this weekend, plus a separate wedding dress sale taking place Sunday. I’d like to highlight some great events including the tri-annual eSAX networking event on Wednesday and multiple Brew Donkey tours throughout the weekend. It’s a busy week for me, with plans to attend eSAX, Legally Blonde and at least one of the wedding shows.

I have GREAT NEWS!!! I’ve been nominated for TWO Faces Magazine awards this year!!! Ottawa’s Best Blogger AND Ottawa’s Best Organizer/Promoter!! Thanks so much for those of you who have nominated me, I’m truly humbled by this! Voting is already underway and it would be greatly appreciated if you could send a vote my way! Go to www.facesmag.ca/awards to see all the nominees for the many different categories. A special shout out to Jillian Turman for Best Make-Up Artist, and Hilary Chaiton for Best Photographer…I’m sure they’d very much appreciate your votes as well!
