Toronto Pride, with a little BSS and friends thrown in.

Our Pride weekend started Friday evening on Church Street, walking around and listening to music, drinking from our water bottles. Mike, Chris, the boy and I actually did more talking than anything - on the street and in a pub. It was a great time, as usual, chatting with great friends and watching people on the streets.

Saturday was the Broken Social Scene concert on Olympic Island...

They were awesome. I can't word it better then other reviewers have already done.

We couldn't actually see the stage from where we were, but on the way home, guess who we were sitting beside on the ferry?

Feist was great. She wasn't feeling well and it would have been hard to know. Her voice is fabulous and stood up against her flu.



Bloc Party

Also on the ferry back, sitting with Lisa, was the Bloc Party. Yup! We didn't realise it right away, but looked over and were surprised. I guess we'd figured the bands would be transported across the lake by water taxi or something.

Sunday was filled with a Beer Garden at the 519 Community Centre, walking around the street away from the parade, and dancing on the street at Wellesley and Church Streets. Lots of fun. I took lots of photos. Of course, shortly after the boy arrived downtown, he hurt himself trying to take a photo. He accidentally grabbed onto a hot pipe (not that kind...) and badly blistered his fingers. The trooper toughed it our for a while, but then we left to attend to the boo-boo with some gauze and ointment.

Needless to stay, going back to work this morning was rough. At least I stuck it out and even went to the running clinic tonight. We are at 3-min run/2-min walk, and go up to 4 minutes next week. Gawd help me.
