The Official Blog of Bobs & LoLo

It is hard to believe that we’re in the final weeks of summer already!? With all the fun adventures of the last few months, we will definitely have a hard time saying goodbye to summer ‘09. Speaking of fun, we’d like to send out a quick note of thanks to all of the families who joined us at the Harmony Arts Festival and the 50th Anniversary Celebrations for the Vancouver Maritime Museum as well as Kidtopia’s Grand Opening in Surrey and most recently, the fabulous Kids’ Day at Filberg Park in beautiful Comox, BC.

We hope some of you will be able to join us for one of our upcoming performances to help us wrap-up the summer season on a high note! There are still a few tickets available for tomorrow’s show at the Tsawwassen Arts Centre. This little performance theatre is the perfect venue for your tiny dancers! We’re thrilled that the Delta Arts Council has invited us to share in their special Family Series this year. Be sure to buy your tickets in advance - tickets are only $8 or 3 for $20 when pre-purchased ($12 at the door). Please call 604-943-9787 for more info!

We are also super excited to jump into our show dates at the Pacific National Exhibition (PNE) next week! We’ll be performing 6 dates on the Global BC Amphitheatre as part of the family-focused KC’s Concert Series. We feel honoured to be sharing the stage with the likes of the Doodlebops, Playhouse Disney’s Choo-Choo Soul and Johnny & The Sprites. Find us onstage at 3:30pm on August 26 & 27 and September 1, 5, 6 & 7. For more information, please click here.

In addition to a fun-filled performance schedule, we’ve also had a few other exciting projects in the works these last couple weeks. Those of you following our updates on Twitter or Facebook will already be in the loop on the next bit of news, but we’re very happy to announce that we finally have a new tour vehicle! We’ve been dreaming for years about upgrading our 1997 Geo Tracker and with the development of our new stage show this past spring, a new vehicle actually became a true necessity when we could no longer fit all of our props and gear into the little Tracker. Although, we’ll miss our first B&L-mobile (for purely sentimental reasons!), we are thrilled to be the new owners of…wait for it…yes - a minivan!

We’re hoping to get some graphics on the van in the next few weeks, so be sure to give us a little wave or a honk if you see us in your neighbourhood!

Happy New Year everyone! We hope you all had a lovely holiday filled with festive family fun and seasonal celebrations. A special thanks to all of the super fans who trekked out in the snowy weather to sing and dance with us in the final weeks of 2008 at both the Vancouver Aquarium and the New Year’s parties at the Rocky Mountain Flatbread Co.! 

We are excited about all of the musical adventures that 2009 is sure to have in store, and we’ll be “singing” in the New Year with lots of upcoming community shows. Please keep an eye on our event calendar for the details! 

We also wanted to send out a thank you to all of the kids who took the time to make our 2008 a little extra special with some amazing fanmail! From the bracelets to the holiday cards to the tasty snappy snacks and all of the other amazing artwork, we really appreciate it! The Bobs & Lolo headquarters are officially ”Action Packed” with all of your wonderful creations!   

Another exciting thing for us in the wrap-up to 2008 was the steady growth of our blog subscriber list. Our warmest thanks to all of the regular readers for your ongoing interest in our music and programming - your support means everything to us!

For those of you that are feeling like you just can’t get enough B&L love in your life, please be sure to find us on Facebook, MySpace and Twitter too! J

Cheers to the start of a fantastic New Year and all of the adventures that lie ahead!
