Adventures in Cycling

I live in Toronto.

Need I elaborate further why the prospect of riding around town on two wheels scares the crap out of me?

2013 CMW Day 5- This Might Just Be My Waterloo

I’m fighting a cold (that may be winning) but Saturday was a bit of a trial.

2013 CMW Day 4- Roundup on the Rush

I have 30 minutes to get this out before heading back to the Aussie BBQ at the Horseshoe for an Aussie Sizzler (does that sound as dirty to you as it does to me?) and some Aussie grown tunes.

So, without further adieu, here goes:

CMW 2013 Day 3: I May Have Just Found This Year’s Ewert

True to form I haven’t looked at today’s line- but first a quick summary of the day.

It had turned into a bit of a cluster-f*ck because I was late getting started, I got turned around in the Marriot (CMW headquarters), decided to go to June Records but the streetcar took its sweet ass time in coming so I spent prime music listening time stuck in traffic and when I got there I was intimidated by the fact that there were less than eight people there (including the musicians and the guys who worked in the store) so I left and decided to get some food.

No music until the evening….

CMW 2013 Days 1 &2: The Briefest of Roundups

I am behind the gun.

I have no idea what I am going to see today and I am already late to check out what is happening at the Church of the Holy Trinity.

But I just wanted to do a quick roundup of what I have seen so far….

Bitch Stole My Dress

The Salvation Army had a $2 sale Friday so I was obligated to go.

I was trying to be nice and left the change room for people who needed to strip down to try on their finds- I only had shirts that could go over the tank top and leggings I wore under my denim shirt dress.

My dress was on my cart one moment and gone the next.

WTF???

Ewert & TTD Makes Me Giddy

I picked up tickets to see them when they come back to Toronto October 22nd.

I CAN’T WAIT!!!!!

Asian Confusion

Honest Ed’s had one of their door crashers this morning and we thought we’d wade into the fray for cheap sugar.

We went to the wrong area (of course) and scrambled upstairs to get in another line.

We obediently waited like sheep when we heard a woman yelling. She was accusing people of getting in line for another bag of sugar- calling them selfish, greedy, blah, blah, blah….

The two woman being admonished looked at each other, slightly bemused, and told the screamer that they had just walked in from the TTC and opened their bags to show there was no sugar.

The screamer continued to rant a little longer then shut her mouth.

I guess all of us Asians really do look alike.

Run, Don’t Walk to Get Tickets for Kid Koala

No joke.

I was at Kid Koala‘s Space Cadet Headphone Experience last night at 918 Bathurst and it was AMAZING!

So amazing in fact that I am seriously considering going to the early show today.
