The awesome people at Honda lent me a Honda Civic for the drive up to and back from Pemberton, BC - I am forever grateful for this as it allowed me to stop and cool off along the way. The first time was at Porteau Cove on the drive up, as by noon it was already boiling, and the second was at One Mile Lake on the Thursday when it was around 40 degrees all day long! Pfewf! Check out the images below, and a few more photos and videos that I posted up on my Instagram!

Also, can we talk about the time that Snoop Dogg came out in a Henrik Sedin jersey? (I was so excited I wrote Daniel)...but then I got even MORE excited a few days after when I saw the selfie that Bob Saget posted of him and Snoop Dogg. You can see me in the photo pit...I'm juuuuust to the left of Snoop Dogg's ear (as weird as that sounds).

Oh and just for good measure, here is Tristan from Vancouver band BESTiE, and Glenn from Beatroute magazine singing along to Matt Good's "Hello Time Bomb":

All of the photos that I posted on Instagram that weekend using the #PembyFestIsAwesome hashtag were taken the with Motorola Moto G phone (as seen below) that Motorola gave me to try out at the festival. We asked you to send us your best festival photo using the hashtag to win one of your own. The phone was great and had an awesome battery that lasted the whole day, which is good because those charging stations were PACKED with people. Feel free to send me more photos or tag the ones you took with #PembyFestIsAwesome so I can see the festival through your eyes.

Thanks for a crazy time Pemberton...you'll probably see me again next year.
