‘Cause after all this city never sleeps at night
I’m in love with “It’s Time” by Imagine Dragons. It’s in the soundtrack for Perks of Being a Wallflower and I’ve purposely not finished the book so I can stay in it longer. Be infinite. Title is one of of the lyrics.
I had such a beautiful weekend in Montreal. I’m uploading a bunch of photos to Pinterest here if you wanna check ’em out. Will have a video up later today. It’s lovely getting away for a few days. Being back in the city is good too, but busy. TIFF starts next week. One of my fav events is the Festival Music House put on by RockIt Promotions, there’s always a bunch of good bands and the crowd is fun. See posts from 2011 & 2010 here. Can you believe it’s almost September? Crazy!
I love the way my tattoo looks in this photo I edited. It was taken w/ Cannon Rebel and messed around with in Picasa. I use my iPhone so often for photos I forget how amazing it is to work with a great camera.
Listen to this song, it will uplift you!

From MYL to YYZ, here we go! Now say it again in French.
Adieu Montréal! Temps de rentrer à l’Ontario et à retourner au travail. Ça a été une tranche. Merci W Montréal pour un excellent séjour, Ford Canada pour une voiture douce et la technologie pour rendre tout cela possible. La vidéo nous avons fait est rad. J’ai utilisé Google Translate. J’ai une amie française qui pense qu’il est tout à fait hilarant et c’est pour elle.
Vous avez un super journée!

Art/Advertising, Both.
I love the Say Media blog. They post Venn diagrams about advertising, marketing, and social media every Friday. This week “Great Advertising is Art”.
Some examples they posted today of trendsetters paving the way for awesome advertising at art. You will like the video. Beautiful.
- Google flashing its technology through a gorgeous music video for Arcade Fire.
- Toshiba sending the first chair to space attached to a weather balloon.
- Target putting on LED light shows on the side of the NYC Standard Hotel.
- BMW driving cars through a giant glass apple.
- Honda turning its car parts into a complex Rube Goldberg machine.
Valfre is one of my fav artists. Her drawings are so good. Her blog is here. One of my favs is in this post.
ART/ADVERTISING? Both. What advertising/art are you creating?
Yesterday Seems So Far Away
Had a great sushi lunch at Guirei on Queens Quay yesterday. I like it there cause the sushi is super fresh and the rolls are not cut too thick.
Tested out Car2Go at their new Toronto Head office on Bathurst. I’ve never driven a Smart car but I think they’re cute.
Stopped by Brill Communications for the launch of two new beauty products. Micropedi is an electric buffer your feet. I have baby feet now, they are so soft. It retails for $39 which is pretty good considering how much a pedi is and you can reuse this little gadget over and over. Easy to use, portable pedicure.
Was given some samples of Viviscal. It’s a favourite hair booster of in-the-know celebrities that just launched in Canada. It makes your hair healthy, strong, and grow faster. It’s loved by Liv Tyler, Reese Witherspoon, & Local 706, the Hollywood stylists union.
I’m gonna give it a go for the next couple months. My hair is still really short! My fist pony in years. If you can even call that a pony tail!
Working at 1188 Films this morning today then going to Oakville to pick up car for Montreal later.
Have an awesome day!

SummerWorks 2012
I hope you took my advice and went to something at SummerWorks this year. As someone new to the theatre scene, SummerWorks introduced me to a culture of awesome in the city. It was amazing to see so much talent from around the world brought together through art. I wish I could have seen every show and performance. Huge congrats to SummerWorks Theatre Festival Team! If you didn’t experience the festival, now you know for next year!
My letters from the Letter Writing party should arrive this week!
I loved the creativity in the live art sessions, Dare Night Lockdown, Letter Writing. Taking part in them infused a childlike fun that I feel people lose when they grow up. Don’t ever lose that. Festivals like this open your mind and heart to see things that inspire your life.
You are not getting younger but you can always get awesomer.
