Fun Fest

The sun is out, music is loud, people are gathered all around and food is being sold by the pound. Whether it’s a big national festival or a more local event, these are the times to meet with other people who share the same taste as you or even to adventure into new grounds. There is a festival for everything and everyone, from all sorts of music to different tastes of food, all derive from different cultures. Since food and music are two things that unite us, when they are put together alongside those who live and breathe, that culture it creates something unique, something magical. It creates freedom.

The camp ground at a festival is a sacred place; being the supporting ground for the event. Pedestrians, vendors, tourists and artists all stomp the same ground for their respective reasons. The floor is where we all leave our footprints, prints of love, prints of passion and of our culture and our bond. The campground is a restricted place, but it is filled with freedom; freedom of speech and of expression. It is a place of gathering without being judged. What happens on the campground stays on the campground but the memories remain in the mind of the beholder.

Montreal during the summer time is the festival epicentre of Canada filled with different festivals almost every week for practically the entire summer. After the citizens of this multicultural city hibernate for the winter they come back out with the urge to live and celebrate. Montreal is known for its many festivals such as, Just for Laughs, Jazz Fest, Poutine Fest, Ile Sonic, Osheaga and many more. There is no time in Montreal to get bored or to be alone, this is the place and time to go out, soak up the rays of the sun, get a tan and meet new people. Hey, you may even find your special someone if you’re lucky enough.

Trust me life is great, enjoy the music you hear, enjoy the food you eat, but most importantly share those things with those you love. Walk and dance until your feet crumble in pain so you can then lay down under a tree as the sun waves its goodbye. Eat the food you love, share a spoonful with your friends, especially if it’s something you don’t eat often. Go out there, explore out the different festivities, they are there for your enjoyment, for your entertainment and for you to escape for short period of time.

Thinking out loud

I constantly visit this viewpoint and I always see the same things. The same rustic and modern buildings, the same roads, the same light patterns…

People come up here to smoke a joint, to enjoy the hike, or to take pictures.

I can’t seem to find the reasons why I come up here.

Every time I look out to this astonishing view of the city, I always get a million of things cross my mind. However, no matter how heavy are the flow of my thoughts, I’m never stressed up there. I guess it’s my happy place. I forget about the bills I have to pay, or the homework I forget to give in. They all seem to be carried away under the chill of the altitude.

Having this view of the city gives me an optimistic look towards what is ahead of me. Every thing turns into its simplest form and it puts me at peace with all of the things that I want to try soon and all of the projects I want to start.

It’s funny, I told my sister what my future plans were, and she mocked me. She said: “Come on, be realistic.”

I wasn’t mad, or irritated. She didn’t know what I was going through. She didn’t know of all the failures my friends and I had to go through putting this project together. She didn’t know about all the failed attempts of building a team of people who shared the same passion, she didn’t know about how being behind a camera was something I was innately passionate about.

I thoroughly think that I am being realistic.

Running a blog and a Youtube channel isn’t all new to me. I can post every single Youtube video I made back then and all of the Piczo’s I had running.

So, I am being realistic. I’m working on this together with friends who have the same drive and passion as I do. StationNinety wasn’t created through impulse. Yes, we did come up with it in one night, but on a macroscopic level, we all had a phase of messing around with the idea of running a blog; a source of entertainment.

I want to take the time to say that we are more than excited about launching StationNinety this weekend. I honestly cannot put much words into it. We’ve all put sleepless nights working into it, and we’ve all set sacrifices of our own. All the editing, the shooting, the writing, we cannot wait to finally reveal it all.

Incase you haven’t been aware, Our launch “intro” video is going to up this Saturday morning on Youtube as well as all of our social platforms.

Tune in on April 30th.

Once more, for all the help and all the support we’ve got so far, thank you.
