Brad Booth wins the Downtown Showdown in His Own Hometown

Alex Lee Behan — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 00:08:04 +0000

Brad Yukon Booth won the Edgewater Casino’s Downtown Showdown this morning at 2am in Vancouver BC, a place he calls home these days. Beating out 340 players in a local tournament may seem like small fish for the likes of poker pro Yukon Booth but it’s more than a quick cash grab when a pro plays in his hometown.

When I called Brad to congratulate him of course he was his humble self. He’s pretty modest when it comes to self promotion. It was his birthday on the 20th and he had announced to his friends over drinks the night before that he felt like his luck was changing. This was going to be his year. Well he certainly proved that over the weekend.

Now you’re probably saying, “Big deal! He won a local tournament”. Compared to the the Ivey Bluff this seems like it wouldn’t be a very significant win for Brad but it’s the contrary. When you’re a pro like Brad playing a tournament in your hometown is a tough weekend at the tables!! Large bounty or not there every player in there is gunning for the chance to knock Booth out. It’s the next best thing to winning the tournament.

Maybe Brad’s right. His luck is changing. I hope so. He’s certainly very entertaining to watch when he’s at his best.

Happy Birthday Brad!

Just to refresh. Here’s the Ivey clip.

Loving Las Vegas

Alex Lee Behan — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 15:19:28 +0000

It’s not secret among my friends that I’m a tiny bit behind when it comes to posting all of my home videos. My last video post of the ‘Up the Lake’ trip is a clear indication that I was at least a year behind in editing. I’m pleased to say that I’m playing catch up at a faster pace now! You certainly have to be in a particular kind of mind set to edit these videos. Also.. I am, in all honesty, realizing that my friends lean a tad bit on the wild side.

Having said that… I couldn’t imagine spending my birthday in Vegas with anyone else!

Seven gorgeous women and one husband…. you do the math.

*** A BIG FAT SPECIAL thanks to our dear friends, Lennie and Bob for making this a fantastic trip! Also a big thank you to Gabrielle Penazzi for one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. If you know me… and the dinners I’ve been to… you know that that’s a BOLD statement. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Enjoy….

Up the Lake 2006

Alex Lee Behan — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 15:27:34 +0000

Every Summer the Behan kids get a visit in to paradise.

In 2006 nine (and a half) lucky friends and family ventured ‘Up the Lake’ in Powell River, BC

to spend a week at Kokanee Cedars on Powell Lake.

It truly is a piece of heaven.

Happy Birthday to the BIG FIVE

Alex Lee Behan — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 05:19:00 +0000

A grand collection of friends and family came together Saturday night at Ginger 62 for some drinks and cheer. Aside from a bit of line up drama and having to be very apologetic for the $12 cover… it turned out to be a wicked good time. There were some memorable moments throughout the birthday festivities. A surprise visit from a friend from New York, an eclectic mix of friends and strangers, mandatory coat check, and the oddest red room to host a party in. I did my best to get a shot of everyone present before I hit the vodka-crans. Thanks to my girls for helping keep the party in order. Thanks to my Queen Adele for doing your best to make me us happy.I love you all for coming out.

Happy Birthday to Rob, Wesley, Sigrid, Yvonne and Nathan… also knows as the BIG FIVE.

World Parrot Refuge

Alex Lee Behan — Sat, 11 Nov 2006 07:08:00 +0000

Earlier this year I had the pleasure of meeting a whole bunch of new friends. In all shapes and sizes, these birds had me at hello. Did you know that parrots are not meant to be our pets? Did you know that in the wild parrots fly in flocks?

Meet Wendy. She has dedicated the last 13 years of her life to these birds and you just have to meet her and her volunteers to know how passionate they are about this cause.

Spread the word… donate a bit of cash or any of the supplies Wendy needs… participate in their virtual adoption program or just tell others to visit the birds at her refuge! Every bit helps!

Thanks Wendy for a great day with your amazing birds.

DOVE Evolution

Alex Lee Behan — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 20:23:00 +0000

YouTube has posted the DOVE Evolution this month. It’s no secret DOVE has seen much PR success from their past few beauty campaigns, taking ordinary woman and putting them in their underwear on billboards across North America. (their flaws and all)

DOVE isn’t very public about how much moula their brilliant campaign is bringing in but the campaign has got the world talking, specifically, the beauty industry and the female consumer.

Do I think this is going to change the way woman percieve themselves? Do I think this is going to change the beauty industry as a whole? Am I going to buy more DOVE soap? NO, but it’s a good start… and I commend DOVE for at least trying to make a difference.

Have a look at the DOVE Evolution commercial below. At the very least, you’ll never look at a beauty ad the same way again.

"Let’s FREE HUG"

Alex Lee Behan — Tue, 31 Oct 2006 03:14:00 +0000

I was having a beer and sharing some laughs with my pal, Patrick, when he showed me his favorite YouTube video of the week.

Now, I’m a pretty jaded YouTube fan. Everyone has their favorite video that you have to watch, which you inevitably do, until you realize you’ve spent at least a minute watching garbage. It has its gems, though. To Patrick and I, this is one of them.

FREE HUG certainly waranted a forward to my blog-crazy husband…. but I had to dig a bit more myself. Who is Juan Mann? And how much publicity is Sick Puppy getting from FREE HUG??

Of course, YouTube, had the answer. (Aussie news, sweet!)

As of this post…4,667,042 MILLION VIEWS! How does one cash in on this kind of pubilicity? Yes.. I know I should stay misty eyed and compelled to hug someone.. but with close to 5 million hits to this video two things are very evident. One. There are millions of more people hugging each other every day. Super cool. Two. You can’t get this video or the song out of your head. Now that’s PR magic. Pure and simple.

Mr. Mann’s FREE HUG campaign has inspired others to hand out their affections… which brings me to why I was inspired to post this blog. JINWOO filmed his version in Seoul, Korea. Korean culture doesn’t really celebrate public displays of affection, still, I could feel the love… or at least their urge to.

His YouTube description says it all:

“I made Korean free hugs video in South KOREA. here is SEOUL. Let’s free hugs ^^ I’m Korean. I saw free hugs music video(Song by Sick Puppies. Title is ‘all the same’). I feel so good.”

“(Ending Korean comment mean this like:
Free Hugs
In this place, there is love
In this place, there are smiles and happiness
To find this place, you need not money
You just need alittle courage
Stop. Look around and see your friends and family
And share the love

Lets Free hugs!)”

I LOVE IT!!

It’s only a couple of weeks old and already it has gotten close to a hundred thousand hits.
Brilliant.

Now go give out a FREE HUG.
(and inspire others to do the same)

Las Vegas PART DEUX

Alex Lee Behan — Mon, 18 Sep 2006 03:35:00 +0000

In March of this year I went to Las Vegas. I managed to go into lock down, just after my return, to create the first 10 minutes of our trip vlog and a full report on the trip. Finally, I can present the next and last installment, packed with unusual celebrities.

(Sorry to my trip mates who have been anxiously waiting for this next video…. )

The Boys Trip to Kelowna… 200Sizzle

Alex Lee Behan — Mon, 31 Jul 2006 17:49:00 +0000

My brother in law, Wesley, asked me to put some creative magic into a video of his golf trip to Kelowna. Originally, my husband was supposed to go but opted out and passed the holiday on to his brother. Judging by the pictures, this was no doubt a great trip for our friends in K-Town.

Hope you like the video, boys… after 20 hours of editing….I now feel like I was the missing member…

Feel free to let me know what you think!

**Special Thanks to Shaftebury Beer… the perfect compliment to a boys’ trip on the links and on the lake lakes…
