Oh my! How lovely! And to add to the amazingness? They have a gift shop! We didn't make it there until day 3 of our mini break but boy was it worth it. What a charming selection of CBC logo adorn goods and a super friendly staff member to top it off. I didn't want to post what I ended up picking up (since it is a present for a blog reader and I'm not for ruining the surprise) but I was super stoked on the freebie CBC Radio 3 post cards they threw in! Eee! Take a peek:
I especially enjoy the Darwin reference. What could be better? Seriously! CBCR3 + Science + Post! Super cool! But wait...it does get better. Remember the gold cbc logo pin I purchased a while back from their website? (Link) Very snazzy and fancy but not quite the bold simplistic pinback one dan mangan has - so lindsay asked - and we received:
Eeee! Now that is awesome! I am pretty sure putting one of these pins on makes me officially the coolest person in kamloops. Okay, perhaps not, but I'd like to think so...and it end one heck of a sweet road trip on a high note! Hooray!
Good thing you went with someone brave who would ask things like that! Think of the regrets if you'd been too shy!
ReplyDeleteThose postcards are pretty rad. I now know what you can do with you life -- work at the CBC (which, I must point out, it is odd that you capitalize CBC but not names of people or places. Terribly inconsistent! CBC Radio 3 IS a name. I say, if you're going for the "no caps" style, you've got to go all the way).
PS. Is the present for me, or Mom?
I received one of the CBC buttons! I'll add it to my scientific culture pins on my jacket. Thanks Kate. Mom
ReplyDeleteone of the highlights during the Olympics was pinning a few of those bad boys onto our jackets as we sauntered in the sunshine. Glad you had a great mini-break!
