RED FM IDOL

as part of my long exile in surrey, bc, i'm taking in the cultural sights and sounds. sounds mainly tonight. i went with my mom and my aunt to see the RED FM idol finals. RED FM is a south-asian (mainly punjabi tho') radio station in the lower mainland (vancouver and environs) that my parents listen to religiously. the commercials on RED FM are hilarious. you'd have to know punjabi to really get the hilarity of them (unintentional hilarity on occasion) but let's just say there's one about going to the capilano suspension bridge and eating fudge that makes me so happy.

below are some pictures from the competition. the woman in white won, after 2 tie-break extra song performances, narrowly edging out the guy in the red jacket (who, incidentally, contracted an eye cancer when he was 2 years old and has been blind ever since). there were 9 finalists performing tonight (well, actually 8 because one person got sick and couldn't perform) in 3 rounds - from 8 to 5 to 3 and then down to the winner.

anyway, it was well worth the $5 price of admission.
