It’s going to be 3D printing, robots, Tesla talk, flame throwing unicorns, oh y’know, all my fav nerdy things.

Professional Tennis 2013: Venus & Serena

I had no idea who was playing in the first round today when my Rogers Cup tickets arrived from National Bank.I though a Monday night match with my man would be a nice way to finnish off a great long weekend. I’ve never been to this tennis match because I’ve been so hardcore Telus for ages. I still love Telus. It’s crazy how sporting events are branded. Brands everywhere, everywhere a brand, brand. I really liked the Xerox 360 camera booth (got a poster and flipbook) and I won a magazine from the Rogers Zone, the National Bank booth with Andrew Richards Design furniture was a nice place to relax. I saw several charging stations and had free parking with the tickets. There is a shuttle from parking to front door and it’s on until August 11th. Overal fun time and so cool to see IRL, actually. Turns out I picked a great night to come to a match… Two awesome players (and sisters woot!), Venus and Serena Williams played doubles in an exhibition w/ Monica Seles and Eugenie Bouchard. Not bad for my first ever professional tennis match. There was a great atmosphere and I enjoyed myself a lot! I’ve even looked into getting tennis lessons myself now. All I need is a good racquet and some tennis balls and I’m good to go. I’ve learned more about us, especially myself, in this tennis match! It’s certainly ignited a flame I didn’t know I had. It’s funny cause we can hear them talking/laughing in this exhibition game. #Williams #sisters #tennis… http://t.co/C1FbwWuccz – CASIE STEWART (@casiestewart) August 6, 2013 Wearing new pants I got at Ted Baker in NY.

Wallace & Co. – The Neighbourhood Diner

This weekend we stopped into Wallace & Co. for Sunday brunch, it’s an urban diner at Dundas West. The food was good, atmosphere quiet, there’s  rock n’ roll in the background and hipsters in the kitchen. It’s just down the street from our place. Very kid friendly, there were so many little monsters there!  Also, the coffee was excellent. I’m quite enjoying the new neighbourhood. It’s super quiet and I love having a nice roof top patio. We’ve found a new local bar in the hood and taken a few nice night walks along the Toronto West Rail path. Now, how long till the weekend? I’m ready for you. <3 CASIE
