Happy Birthday to Me Nuit.

After work last Thursday Oct 1st., Crystal and I had plans to go for a bike ride, but we scratched that because the sky was threatening. Instead we went for a glass of wine at her and Cameron's place. Well it quickly turned into a party complete with dinner and...

debauchery

the birthday girl!

cheers

o Klaus thought it was a surprise party, how sweet.

look Liza, surprise cupcakes!

Nat and me

Nat is thinking about having, " a little something done."

o is that a yam in your pocket?...

dinner turned into a quite a party.

and I got to spend the night! Thanks for the pj's Crystal.

And then on Saturday night Justin and I went to the theatre to see "The Boy in the Photograph," the new Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. It was aight, but that is a story for another blog.

After the show we went to MTK to check out some of the art for Nuit Blanche, and have a few drinks. Paul also arrived from New York and we knew we wanted to meet up with him.

Later in the night when we met up with Emily at City Hall

The installation at Nathan Phillips Square

I wasn't really feeling up for the all night art party, but Paul and I really wanted to see the Jeff Koons in the Eaton's Centre

like a pimp in the E.C.

tee hee

there it is...

And of course, since I was with Paul we couldn't finish the night without oinking out.

"hey no pictures"

1st of the month

Leafs 2009-10

Holy over-the-top batman... can't wait though. Season starts tomorrow, in honor of me.

There's no place like home

Tomorrow's my birthday which makes me nostalgic, obviously. And when I get nostalgic I think of only one place....



It's funny because when I lived in San Francisco I didn't experience seasons like we do here in Toronto. But since I've lived here my birthday has also been how I associate our shift into fall/winter. (Hello, did anyone else see a few flakes of snow today, pretty sure I did!) And believe me I have never seen anyone skiing in San Francisco before, but if it actually snowed there I am sure we'd have the bomb ass mountains, right downtown. Anyway, when I got home I saw the bellow ad for California on TV and I had to smile to myself. These ridiculous California tourism propaganda videos are great.



And check out this older one where Arnold gives the punchline, "only one question ... when can you start." Just remember you have to read that with an Austrian accent.

Let the countdown begin

out and about

It has been a busy week or so. I've settled into my routine at MTK and studying for the LSAT's but I've also managed to have a bit of fun...

Last weekend I went to the Candice Breitz opening at the Power Plant

A segment from Him, which I had actually seen before and hadn't realized. Paul and I saw Him and Her during our art blitz in Chelsea last spring. Very eyebrow raising that I took this picture, but David Chang and I were in there all alone.

Emily and David at the opening

I loved the look of the girl int he powder blue sweater, and it turned out she was a friend of D Chang's

Heading to another opening at OCAD

I made a grand entrance with Paul Kozak. i.e. we snuck in via the fire escape. What? The line-up was ridiculous.

Some of the OCAD crowd

One of the installations featured live grass and this dude doin' up some hot dogs, classy.

And then Saturday Justin and I went to the Queen Street Art Crawl to check out La Krause

The lovely Lori-Anne genius behind La Krause headwear and vintage re-design.

After our perusal Justin and I took a short ride down Queen to check out the Blue's Society backyard BBQ and concert.
