Now for the photos from my experience in the crowd at this year's MMVA. I got a pretty good spot by the smaller stage, so although I didn't get shots of the huge main stage, I was pretty satisfied with mine -- Biebs, Cody Simpson, Marianas Trench, Hedley, and more stepped foot on the smaller stage, so I was happy I had a great view!
Enjoy :)

Anyways, I hope you all had a great MMVA experience, whether that may be from the audience on Queen Street or on the couch in your living room. Time to wait for next year!

As an original Vancouverite, I have grown up watching MuchMusic and the MMVA show every year from my couch and wishing I could someday be there in Toronto to see the excitement live. So this year, being my first time living in Toronto for the summer, I was determined to be a part of it -- even though I wasn't accredited media, or covering it for a specific publication, I wanted to experience it first-hand, as a spectator.
So the MMVA weekend began. I already posted about The Field's MMVA pre-party, which was a great event, but let's get started with the actual awards show. This post is part 1, featuring some of my encounters before the show started; from Nelly Furtado's soundcheck to some of the red carpet arrivals.

June 17 was a crazy day in Toronto, with the city being filled with MMVA excitement. But prior to the big awards show, Ubisoft presented The Field's Annual Afternoon Party at Tryst Nightclub. The venue was full of different booths, from Bench clothing to Chocola Chocola treats, as well as drinks from Corona and Bacardi. Who can say no to an afternoon of free swag? There was also entertainment, with Just Dance and Guitar Hero, plus freestyle dance performances from Happy Feet Entertainment (it was awesome to meet these guys, they were so dope!). And The Westin Harbour Castle hotel had a booth with hand and shoulder massages....of course I had to get both. So that was a bonus: work plus a massage!
Some of the event's attendees included Karl Wolf, Shawn Hook, stars of Degrassi, These Kids Wear Crowns, Trish, and Classified, just to name a few. Check out some of my photos from the fun event:
