Juno Time
No the Junos are not here yet, but they will be and I’ll be there for all the action.
Tonight I meet up with my News Director and some of the communications people from the Juno Awards to discuss the events during Juno week and how everything is planned out for us reporters.
I’m not sure if you remember but last year it was announced that the 2008 Juno Awards are being held in Calgary. I personally can’t wait because I get to be one of the reporters who is mingling with the stars and on the red carpet. I’ll also get to attend the Juno Cup and watch Avril Lavigne face off against the Tragically Hip.
The Juno’s aren’t until early April so until then I will be waiting in anticipation for all the glitz and glamour. Hopefully you are as well because there will be many events for you to take part in and maybe even see your favourite artist. First off there is the Juno Festival where Canadian musicians perform on a stage for your listening pleasure. Then there is FanFare where you can meet Canadian artists and get your CD’s, posters, skin, or even that 1980’s jean jacket signed by them.
At the end of it all of course is the awards show. It will most likely be better than the Golden Globe’s because in the Great White North we have writers who are actually working.
