Moshymoshymoshylooove!!
NamasteSalaamHellYEAH! Gooood wishes and energy to everyone of you! I am writing this from a cloudy morning in Vancouver, fresh from our Alberta trip. I am energized and sending you all my feelings. Om shanti peace to you.
Calgary found us in front of a thirty-thousand people type of mish-mash audience, and I am still tingling from the thrill of it.
I can not thank you enough for your undying support, in your efforts to create a massivebeautiful MOSH PIT! Now THAT’S what I’m talkin’ bout!!!!!!!! My band and I were overjoyed!
And, I was able to do an autograph booth which provided me an opportunity to meet HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF YOU! Can I just say, I LOVE you!!!!!!!!
You all rule so hard and are my true raison d’etre. Thank you for being so special. You all enlightened me with your glow. Truly.
I adore playing our little songs for you. I can’t imagine the life I would lead without you all in it. Fuck! You guys are the GREATEST!
And, the special “PG13″ type of all-ages show that it was, I DID NOT SWEAR!! (I followed the rules like a good girl). Whew! Not even one bad word.
Soooo…..fuckfuckfuck I’m happy about that self-discipline! LOL!
(I did find an article on “swearing” that I have included, here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8147170.stm, for your reading)
Now, we WILL be playing, in a few days, at the Edmonton Street Festival thingy…so I obviously can’t wait to see you guys there! And then in Kelowna and don’t forget our COMMODORE show (in Vancouver) in August!!! Showshowshows! Yay! Yay! Yay! *beam*
In the meantime, I am training hard and desperately trying to excel with my weight training to ensure I may resume my martial arts training this fall. Yoga, of course, does assist my endeavours, physically. I am veryvery grateful to be healthy and able. Granted, my goals are rather ambitious. But..they always were. They always will be. Om Nama Shivaya.
I hope everyone has a stellar week and this finds you experiencing bliss in every moment. :)
Remember to be present. Love yourself. Honor your Truth. Trust your heart. And……..EAT AN EXTRA BANANA!!!!!! (Nom.nom..nom… Like I am right this minute! Yum!)
Gratitude and blessings from my soul,
Love and honor,
Biffy

Bif!!! I saw you play on Saturday night at the Stampede, and it was one of the best shows I’ve seen!! You put on a GREAT performance, and you are just so gracious and full of life!! I didn’t get to meet you in the merch tent, unfortunately, but I was so thrilled just to see you perform live, that was enough for me. :) I had my 13 year old son with me, and he is now officially almost as huge a fan of yours as I am!!
So, I just wanted to say THANKS from all of Calgary for putting on such an awesome show!!
Keep it real!

Glad to hear you are having such a good time on tour! I have always believed that swearing is good for the soul. Shit, yeah!

Hey Biffy,
I am still living off the energy from your July 1st concert here in Cloverdale. Thanks for that.
I sent the article on swearing to my group – loved it.
Here is one of my favorite articles published in the BMJ: http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/abstract/327/7429/1459?HITS=10&sortspec=relevance&hits=10&maxtoshow=&andorexactfulltext=and&FIRSTINDEX=0&resourcetype=HWCIT&fulltext=parachute&searchid=1&RESULTFORMAT=
It is a great read if you like a balanced and reasonable approach to science. If you cannot open the link, it is known as the “Parachute Study” from the BMJ.
Take care,
Hope your battle continues to be victorious,
Dr.C

Ah Ha ! Benefits to swearing! Thanks for the article…pretty insightful as to the whole “fight or flight” human nature thing. I like. I’m proud of you for not swearing biffy!!! very respectful i must say…And (going back to your many airport security hassles etc.) – I recently went to the states and back and went through over 60 mins. total harrassment by those border pricks…they even put my car through some x-ray scanner machine. I thought i would be bending over next…geez louise…but alas…they are doing their job and thanks to your blogging, i realized that those prick-ish people made me learn “lots of patience” in those moments, and i ended up finding the experience rather amusing when all was said and done. om nama shivaya… thanks bif:)

Your Stampede show was amazing!! I was at the edge of the mosh and normally I’m not into it but you got me going! One of the best shows I’ve seen. Normally I couldn’t see you in Calgary because I’m not 18, so I was so thrilled when I read you were playing at Stampede. Thanks for the autograph, I was the little loser who was almost crying! Keep up the amazing music, you rock.
