Mi cosito hola!! Last night was Nuit Blanche and Dave and I went on a little adventure around the city in search of the coolest spots! Here is what we found.
It all started at the AGO where we encountered a pair of butch-lesbians with over-sized clitorises standing on a circular mirror and with what appeared to be a uterus hanging on top of them and each had one fallopian tube ...jajaja not sure what to make of that!
Then we walked down Queen St where we went into several art galleries and some of the art in them was amazing! My favorite pieces were these three sculptures, cool ah? By the way the streets were packed! such long line ups and huge crowds; pretty cool.
My most most most favorite thing was what The Institute for the Enjoyment of Music had arranged. It was a long corridor with little rooms and in each room there were one or two musicians improvising music. They could all hear each other via some technological invention jaja, and so they were all creating music together, but physically apart. The instruments were piano, guitar, trumpet, some electronic stuff, and (my most favorite) cello! Oh I want to learn to play the cello! All the musicians were super young and hip and amazingly talented (you could tell they were classically trained) I just didn't want to leave that place. Amazing! I was like a music whore house ;)
After that we went into a random hair salon where we found a model posing while people were drawing her....it was soooo unbelievably hot in there I actually broke a sweat!
Then we continued walking down Queen St and seeing one random thing after the next until we came accross a samba drumming line!! I stayed there for a while just smiling and loving the sound so much. We then went to The Drake which was illuminated with a video game and looked pretty cool.
I was exhausted at that point and so I said adieu to David, turned around and off to home. BUT my night didn't end there. On my way back I heard familiar music in the distance, as I got closer to the source I noticed it was cumbia!! Toto Momposina mixed with techno!! It sounds amazing! It brought tears to my eyes to hear my music so far away from home and then see a bunch of people dancing on the street!! jajajaja Canadians dancing cumbia looked like aerobics mixed with an exorcism! Can you see the video bellow?
Y ya! That was my night. I wished you had been there with me...Every second I felt compelled to call you and just share everything with you!
TE AMO!
I miss you so so so sooooooo much mi lindo!
