Friday afternoon - The office had their big grand opening... the CEO showed up, as did king-of-town, David Miller. That night we watched the Departed (all the stars, but I didn't care for it).
Saturday - we went grocery shopping, and then trekked up to the old hood to see the ArtStarts art house. They basically took an old beat-up house which is scheduled for demolition, and painted it up. There is a giant octopus-beast with his tentacles wrapped around the thing, and pretty hilarious quotes everywhere. There was also a band playing covers of everything from Dylan to the Beastie Boys, and a massive tire sized bowl of donuts.
Later we went to see Basia Bulat at the Music Gallery, after randomly reading the article in Now. It was pretty good, although we were both expecting a more polished band... instead there was a definite this-is-one-of-our-first-shows-ever kinda vibe. It was fun.
Sunday - I stepped outside to Salvation Army church in the morning (787 Dovercourt... we're at 781) - it turns out the pastors' family spent a lot of time in South Africa. They were disappointed to discover that I am not much of a rugby fan. Church featured uniforms and a brass band, and a lot of older folks, mostly... but is was pretty cool.
Church at night featured no uniforms, Leah and Anne, and a lot of kids, mostly...
Afterwards we went to Jonathan Bluks & Co's place.
