So Weekend 12 began with dinner and drinks with Steve on Friday night. Been having a lot of Mexican food here, but that night we (I, really) were lured in by the music as we walked along King St. Afterwards we went looking for a drinking establishment and found ourselves at The Hideout on Queen St. After a glass it was time to move on from the live band that was mingling with the sound system. We then made it to The Supermarket, a bar in Kensington Market that resembled the coolness of London. It was snowing again after a week of very Spring-like weather. It was nice to see snow again and the light dusting that night covered the streets as we walked. For some reason it always seem really quiet when it's snowing. I guess the snow acts like a sound insulator, like in a sound-proof room. Which is a good thing cause we were making a bit of noise running down the streets and general hoorahing you do after a couple of drinks.
L: Shhh, virgin snow...; R: Steve skidding along a la Tom Cruise in Risky Business.
On Sunday I finally saw a play in the third largest theatre-going city in the world after London and New York. The Tarragon Theatre is an intimiate venue just a few blocks from my place. The play was "John & Beatrice" by Montreal born and based Carole Frechette. It's not so much a love story of two people, but more the tragedy of wanting love and being misguided by that want. Despite this outlook/outcome however it was actually a very funny play. There were plenty of moments when you recognise yourself or your partners' behaviour and laugh at your own ridiculousness.
