FREE RANGE KIDS

Would you let your 9-year-old son ride the Skytrain by himself?  Instead of answering that question, are you thinking: "who is this Drew guy - he's insane!  Of course, not."

MADONNA IS COMING TO VANCOUVER!

Big news this morning - Madonna is coming to Vancouver!  The show is on October 30 at BC Place.  Yep - she's playing the big house.  Tickets go on sale Saturday, May 24 at 10am. 

THURSDAY SHOW STUFF

I brought my work boots with me today because right after the show I'm heading to the North Shore Transfer Station to make good on the bet I made with Nat during Earth Week.  Over the course of that week, I produced 6 more ounces of garbage than Nat did...and that means I have to pull a shift at the transfer station today.  Apparently, I'll be loading trucks of garbage, cleaning up garbage that spills out the back of the compactors and working with the birdman who flies a hawk around to keep the seagulls away.  We'll have audio from the adventure on Friday's show.

TGIF!

It's Friday and I'm already anticipating the smell of the BBQ filling my neighbourhood this weekend. 

Before we break for the weekend, here are some links to things we've talked about on the show:

EX-BOYFRIEND'S JEWELRY

Have you ever tried to sell some jewelry that an ex gave you?  If so, you know that sinking feeling when the pawn shop owner offers you 50 bucks for it.  Marie and Meagan Perry were on with us this morning talking about a new website they've launched that's a lot more fun than those dingy pawn shops.

FRIDAY SHOW STUFF

It's April 18th and it's snowing in the valley.  Can anyone really dispute climate change at this point?

Here are a couple of links to things we talked about on our show Friday morning.

BLAZIN' SOCCER DOGS

On the morning after the Canucks were bounced from the playoffs and the weekend weather looks crappy, here's a story that's guaranteed to put a smile on your face. 

PETER WALSH

One of our favourite guests was back on the show this morning - Peter Walsh.  He's written several books on how to get your life and your home organzied.  His latest is called Does This Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat?  It ties together struggles with weight with struggles to stay organized.  If you missed the interview, check the Nat & Drew On Demand section Thursday afternoon.  In the meantime, you can see highlights from last appearance on Oprah's show HERE.
