Blag-o-matic

Thursday: drive to Toronto.  It takes forever, traffic, border guards, they all suck. Roll in a bit before midnight. Saw Nicole briefly before passing out on her futon.

Friday: Nancy and I walked around Toronto. Saw quite a bit, hung out down by the beaches, got a nice sunburn.

Friday night: Went to dinner on some street which I can’t remember with Mat’s cousin Katie. Ate some pretty awesome Mexican food, not so hot nachos though. Later RubyFringe opening party at this crazy brewery, in what essentially was a warehouse. Pretty fun, drank my fair share of some local brew. Met a few of the RubyFringe companions. Went home kinda early due to a bad case of being tired as fuck.

Saturday: Met up with the rest of the “companions”, me and 13 ladies, not too shabby I must say. They took us to St. Lawrence Market, where I bought some fancy mustard, then to Kensington Market, where Nancy bought a dress. More sunburn.

Saturday night: Really nice dinner at the Drake Hotel, followed by open bar and art exhibition at Camera. Drank my fair share of open bar goodery.

Sunday way early AM: Nicole and some other peeps rolled in around 2am, there was more drinking, an incident with a toilet, and sleeping.

Sunday: Rained like the freaking end of time. Nancy and I went to get breakfast with Katie. We never quite made it to hang out with the companion crew. We did go to the beaches and then got completely drenched walking to a Jazz festival. I saw a Canadian fall backwards in his chair but manage to keep his beer upright. Way to go my good man.

Sunday night: RubyFringe closing party at Unspace. It was a complete blast. More drinking (I’m noticing a theme) more hanging with a bunch of awesome people.

All in all the weekend was a blast. I wish I’d had more time to hang out with everyone (especially Nicole as I barely saw her all weekend). Toronto, watch out, I will be back.
