Day 6
Lets's go Buffalo!
Having been a fan of the Bills as long as I can remember, one of my childhood dreams was to see a game in Orchard park at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Yesterday that dream came true, and it was just how I imagined it, and better.
The game it self was a bit of a dud, but really it was secondary to the tailgate party. The smells, sounds, energy of 74 thousand people was simply unbelievable.

Day 7
Beauty and the beast
Whether you get to Dundas and McCaul from; the west- through the hustle and bustle of Chinatown, the east- the concrete jungle of University Ave, the south- Queen west and the Grange Park, or the north- the serenity of Baldwin street, you end up at two of Toronto's newer landmark buildings that perfectly contradict yet compliment each other.
OCAD v. AGO
I don't think the debate will ever be settled.

Day 10
Mind the Gap
The rush of stale air from deep within the tunnel, rumbling noise that builds to a furry, then the pleasant, ding ding diiiiiinnng, inviting you on board. You can probably tell that I don't have to regularly commute on the subway, that alone allows me to still romanticize the form of transportation.

Day 14
Colour Fades Away
While catching an early afternoon break it became apparent that the wind has picked up a bit of bite. The tree's are showing that they are getting tired and ready for the long winter sleep as the colour fades from their leaves. Two weeks, that's all that is left, what a journey this has been.

Day 16
Double Decker
Half cut atop a double decker bus, traveling 140km hour at 1am, through a crazy "tron-like' tunnel out of Montreal, with two guests beside me losing it for the first time of many during their Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds trip home....
Like sand through the hour glass, these are the days of my life.

Day 17
Club Soda with a Shot of Awesome
Shaken not stirred please fine sir...
A crazy 18 hour trip to Montreal was peaked by a stellar performance by dj Champion. Yes I was in one of the most beautiful cities in North America, yes I had my camera gear with me, yes Champion was my photo of the day last Thursday, no I didn't take any shots but of the show. I've got the sickness.

Day 22
Red Carpet Champion
Tiff (Toronto International Film Festival) launched last night as part of the opening they held a free show of one of my favourite groups, Dj Champion et ses G-Strings. What a fun way to spend a night dancing like a fool on the red carpet in public while most others stood around and watched.
Measha Brueggergosman joined the band on stage and joined in for a stunning opening to No Heaven.

Day 25
The Long Road Home
There you have it, the sun setting on the Labour Day weekend. While not officially the end to summer, symbolically it is a turning point in preparation for my move. Everything has become more real, turns out it may be much more difficult to leave this city than I had thought.
Thanks to all of you that have been keeping up with the project, your comments really help keep it going. Already 75% done

Day 29
DeGrassi Dog Days
Summer arrived a little late for us this year, but I'm not going to turn it away at the door.
I think one of the initial reason I felt so at home in Toronto when I first moved here was the amount of time I spent watching the original DeGrassi series. My love for the show border lines on sickness.
Two of the highlights of my last 9 year;, 1 was having the honour to shoot Snake for the 25th anniversary DeGrassi doc. And 2 was getting to party at a Spike and Caitlin 80's night to celebrate my 30th.

Day 31
This island love, it breaks me.
Oh Toronto Island how do I love thee. For a mere $6.50 you offer yourself as a complete get away from the daily grind of the big city. You allow me in a city of 5 million to find a secluded beach to catch my thought. You are the place that no cars go. And ducks, lots and lots of friendly ducks.
Toronto Island I think I love you.

Day 32
"this river I step in is not the river I stand in"
Cooler weather saw a short ride turn into a longer journey as I made a rare appearance to Queen East. As you cross the Don river there is a bridge along Queen Street, atop that bridge the saying "this river I step in is not the river I stand in" .
I found this route to much more efficient to get to my final destination of Tommy Thompson to catch the sun dive below the horizon for its rest for the day.
