An avalanche on the Coquiihalla got in the way of our plans to spend the weekend in Kelowna, so instead, Kendra and I made this movie:

Kevan Gilbert is a life-size replica of a 5'8" tall human being, and comes with several interchangeable outfits and a realistic haircut. In the daytime hours, Kevan works as a Project Manager at Vancouver’s Union Gospel Mission. When he’s not spending time with his beautiful wife Kendra in their hometown of Burnaby, BC, Kevan is available to meet, chat and collaborate.
My favourite part is the giggle when the avalanche falls.
So sad! The Cadbury was waiting for you!
kevan and kendra, you’re just so bloggable!
This video is incredibly rawksome.
I often see two people get married, and I just kind of wonder if that marriage would be any fun at all. You look at two people and you say, “Yes, maybe they’ll succeed as a nuclear family, but…”
Kevan and Kendra, separately, both strike me as the types of people to whom it would be FUN to be married. Certainly, the work would be there, but special moments like this one just don’t happen in every marriage. I long for singular moments with someone I love. Kudos to you guys; way to making something special out of a craptacular situation.
On a sidenote, I was with Kevan when he bought the record that’s playing in the background. Hope you like your Beatles schmaltz, Kevan.
Thanks dudes. It was fun times.
Harrison, I didn’t actually BUY that Beatles record we listened to, although I’m sure that Hey Jude gem would have been on it. This was streaming straight off internet radio during the filming of the movie.
The laughter of the evil avalanche and sudden appearance of the “Closed” sign following the snow was the true dramatic clincher of the whole piece.
When life gives most people lemons, they make lemonade which is really boring – and who drinks lemonade in the winter anyway? You guys were given lemons and made a delicious lemon souffle – much more exciting, and more comforting on a cold day.
