The Kam Do Mixed Grill Feast Fest…Festival?!

The Kam Do Mixed Grill Feast Fest...Festival?!

So right after the LG Texting Championships, it was time to head to Kam Do so that we could welcome a new member into the Kam Do Mixed Grill Hall of Fame. As you all know, I’m the only member of this club and it’s tough finding anyone to keep up with me. This event would be called the “Kam Do Mixed Grill Feast Fest…umm…Festival”.  At least that’s what John Chow called it which kind of fits seeing as both that name and the event became one big disaster for one Leo Chiang. Let’s check out the highlights in glorious HD!

After enthusiastically decreeing that he would finish this massive meal for immortal men, Leo went out a little too fast, trying to outpace me, making the going tougher than it should have been. As they say in Fast and Furious: Too soon junior. That’s why I never called this a contest because if this was for speed, we’d both be outside puking it all up before the half way mark.

The Kam Do Mixed Grill Challenge requires patience and strategy in order to get the job done. This has served me well for the three times that I’ve finished it (counting this time). Unfortunately, Leo was 300ml and a mango pudding away from joining this most prestigious club. Again, I standalone as the only one that has completed it not once…but three times. Is there a monster meal that you swear nobody could finish? I’d like to hear about it! The Kam Do Mixed Grill Feast Fest...Festival?!

Dot Com Pho After Hours – Double Feature Presentation

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been over a month since my last update. You see, I’ve been trapped in this world called the “Twitterverse”. If you’re following me, you’ll probably see that I’ve been quite active over there. In fact, most of the time, I’ve already worked off my ranting and opinions which used to be exclusively the domain of my blog. I’m pretty sure it’s just a phase so once I get bored of it, I’ll probably come back to my rock which is my blog here. I’m actually mostly busy with Futurelooks though as we’ve been having quite a bunch of new reviews and articles go up in the last while.

At any rate, I haven’t stopped with heading out to Dot Com Pho and this week, while John Chow has been imprisoned by Chinese Authorities, I’ve brought the Dot Com Crew to my own backyard of Coquitlam, BC. It was actually here last week, but not enough footage was shot, so I’ve combined last week and this week’s meet ups together into a Dot Com Pho After Hours – Double Feature Presentation! That’s right! You’re getting two for the price of one!

It’s really nice to get out of a routine and explore new places. Even though people don’t call their meet ups “Dot Com Pho” it doesn’t mean that other peeps don’t have meet ups too. It was really cool to meet new people, catch up with old friends, and see what others are up to besides your favourites from the usual Dot Com Pho pool of favourites.

Next week, I’ll be heading out to Cloverdale to check in with Gary Jones and Rainer Schmoll to see what’s happening in their backyard. As you’ve seen in the video, they’ve been doing their fitness challenge so we’ll get to meet other participants in their ThinkFitness Challenge. We’ll also have the return of Michael Kwan with a quick gadget segment. Till next week!

Dot Com Pho After Hours – The Pilot!

This week’s Dot Com Pho was held at Happy Pho. Though it was a small crowd, we still managed to have Ed Lau not show up late. Greg Morgan traded places with him for the last spot. If this was amazing race, Greg would have lost this week, but then again, Ed would have lost every week before that so he probably wouldn’t be on the show by now. Also in attendance was Moneca, Wolfgang, Ray, iPhone Gary, and of course John Chow.

John cuts out the first five minutes of the video on his Flip Mino and presents it to us as this week’s Dot Com Pho Episode which includes something something contest, some gadgets and something twitter shout outs…

So now that the boring stuff is out of the way, it’s time to switch gears to the “After Hours” edition of Dot Com Pho which takes place after the first five minutes. Just when you thought that all Dot Com Pho was about is eBooks and Twitter Shout Outs, Dot Com Pho After Hours rescues it from this purgatory of boredom by exploring all the stuff you actually care about and cranks things up to a NC-17 rating. This of course is where all the funny and entertaining stuff happens as John stops talking about making money, and the rest of us start talking about things like more gadgets, more useless iPhone Apps, Jack Bauer, movies and TV Shows. Enjoy the pilot episode!

Next week, Ed Lau will find a way to record and produce the next episode as he has been telling us since the beginning of last Summer. I’ll be attending Kelly’s Nutrition Clinic where she’ll show her attendees how to eat better and avoid passing gallstones. In John’s case, it was probably the diet pop that sent him to emergency. Kelly will be going through a lot of different topics including how a lot of these so called “Healthy” versions of food are actually bad for you and why it isn’t the fat that makes you fat. If you’re looking for practical ways to improve your nutrition, come to this clinic. It will be the best $25.00 you’ve ever spent.
