Today I went to the Globe & Mail to chat a friend on the roof patio. Real nice up there. Stephen has a session at NXNE Interactive titled ‘How to Grow Your User Base!” and it just might include me. Check it out here or NXNEi Friday at noon.
It was very serious. Look at this form. I work hard at everything I do.
Left a note in Lina’s office & said hello to a few others in the G&M haus.
Picked up my NXNE wristband. This is the media room. I had to charge my phone. Then I saw the Australian, he got asked what band he’s in. Haha. So cute.
Cruised Queen Street, got a new Vice mag, picked up Chippy’s & went to Bellwoods. They actually HAD the halibut this time. Can you believe it? They are ALWAYS out.
It was so hot & lovely out. Had the perfect outfit for tanning, loose shorts & tube top. Post lunch got a haircut and guess what? Teacher also goes to Darrek Kwik Studio & he was THERE.
It was such a busy day. I zipped outta the salon, walked to Liberty Village and went to School. They were having a summer BBQ and I had an awesome free dinner with a bunch of friends. Thanks guys! Food was grrrrrrrrrreat.
Ok bye. I’ve heading to the NXNE Opening Gala then to see Tiny Danza at Cobra w/ Z-List. Hope it’s not too much of a late one. Busy day tomorrow too. Gah.

The 2011 BHD Gifting Suite & Peeps:
The Converse & Marcus Troy – All Star Music Lounge
MMVA Stage is lookin’ pretty rad. I love cruisin’ by there mid day on my own schedule. Liberating! I worked mega long hours this time last year getting ready for the MMVA show. It was fun at the time.
Took the subway yesterday. I rarely ever take the subway. Most the time I walk. There’s never a shortage of interesting characters. I used to TTC often & would write stories about people & things I saw. Remmeber that book lady, Seen Reading? I think she got slammed for writing about people on the subway. I wonder where this guy was going? I like his outfit.
Went with Keri to The Richmond to learn about Snoxin.
I’m gonna have a face like a child in no time.
Lots of pretty girls there & nice outfits.
This stuff makes you look younger. Better than any $500 cream and available for $39. Last year I got Nanoblur from the same company, that stuff is awesome too.
Post girl time, got beer & had a hipster hang w/ Australian in the park. Watched the sunset. This dude was totes checking him out.
I love park hangs. He doubled me on his hipster bike. I was scared, it was exciting.
Rushing to Spoke Club, then Globe & Mail then to pick up my NXNE Priority media pass. Hectic day. Wish I had a bike right now.
All the beer shelves were fully stocked, store opens today in Liberty Village.
I love straight lines. Everything was lined up with perfection.
Pretty.
Pinup. ♥
Very nice shop that appeals to urban consumers. Young urban professionals of downtown, generation Y, Yuppies 2.0.
SO good to see Carly & have her back in town. Love you babe! Carly is my agent and today I have a top secret audition for something on TV. I was taking our pic in the mirror here…
Then I totally spilled my beer. Doh!
Food was really good and outside they had an oyster bar. Look how big that one guys is! They looked to slimey for me. I kinda like oysters but think I’m stopping liking them. The slimeyness over does the taste & other effects for me. Wiggly little buggers.
We arrived early & left fairly early. My new thing, getting real good at it. It takes practice. DJ was really good. Arriving early gives you optimal time for dance breaks before it gets crowded.
We were drinking these beers & Stella. I love beer. Blonde is one of my fav’s. Obvs.
Ron, from inlibertyvillage.com. I wrote a cover story about artist Michael Golland for his magazine Mercato a couple years ago. Read it here.
Pretty.
Hometime!
One last stop w/ Raymbo & Teacher.
Do you see a win? Imma throw them out now. Can’t believe we didn’t win at all.
The beer store wanted to create a new & unique beer experience and they totally did. They have over 250 brands and are open to all brews. Got a micro? Send it to ’em.
Thanks to the team at The Beer Store for creating a cooler more mod version of the old Beer Store. Event was fun. I hope you have more beer parties.
Barbie & I jus LOLed to hard at these two videos. I was telling her a story and could not for the life of me get the words out and she said I reminded her of this kid.
Then, by luck we stumbled upon this GEM! Do you remember doing this at Canada’s Wonderland as a kid. I do. I wish I had my video. I was in dance and the time but no way I could beat this awesome kid. I wonder where he is now? Oh, he’s in Boston, MA and his name is Robert Jeffrey. TWERK!
Have you ever been to a gifting lounge? It’s totally awesome. Last year at TIFF was my first time and it’s like your birthday. Hair, nails, clothes, games, makeup, shoes, products galore. You get hooked up with stuff from cool companies. Some of the brands are Bench, Converse, Toms, Jeffrey Campbell.
Stay tuned on how you can win a ticket to attend BHD SUITES June 18. Gonna be real FUN 🙂
Have plans Saturday? The city is gonna be full of excitement with NXNE & MMVA. I would like to invite you to come to The Ballroom Bowl to see Shad live. I have two wristbands avail that let you jump the general admin NXNE passholder line. Heck yeah VIP!

This is my fav vid of his. Fresh Prince throwback!
Wanna go? Tweet me, @casiestewart with #RockwithWindows in the comments. Easy peazy. Will pick someone Thursday so you have time to plan your weekend.
One of the most annoying things ever is when girls (any age) talk about you to other people. I’ve talked about it before and despite getting older, it never seems to go away.
It is especially annoying when it is public, negative, the person has a high profile and they also don’t bother to say it to you directly. I was not Regina George in highschool and didn’t used to have the confidence I do now. I got bullied heaps growing up, mostly by mean girls.
Today I got a message from a friend on my way home from the airport after six hours on airplanes and spending half the day before in an airport…
“your tweets & blog post rant about parents with kids at airport is causing a shit storm with parents on fb”
GREAT! Welcome home!
First: Thank you for reading & linking to my blog Erica.
I’m happy to have you as a reader. I’ve been a fan of yours since I was a kid. Circa 1991 here, lookin’ cute.
We both worked at MuchMusic and I’ve often wondered if we would work on a project together. We both blog & Tweet in Toronto. We have many friends in common. I always though of you as cool with great style.
Second: Why didn’t you comment/say ANYTHING TO ME?
I know you’re not shy. Lots of options, Twitter, Facebook, Fan Page, blog , email? I am surprised you would single me out like that to your friends on Facebook without commenting as a mother yourself.
I waited to see if you would say something to me since you were engaging your audience about my blog post. You didn’t. Your comment “what people without kids think of us who have kids” is a silly generalization about those who have kids and those who don’t.
I am one person and this blog is about my life, not all people who don’t have kids.
Third: To the Commenter(s) & Everyone
I am not an asshole for saying it is annoying to let your kids make a wrack and misbehave in a busy public place.
I traveled heaps as a kid with my parents and yes, I for sure made noise, I was a baby/kid. Mum said I was real cute in her comment though, thanks Mum!
Why didn’t you share your thoughts from a mothers perspective?
Maybe you have some great ideas on how to deal with a situation like I was in?
I had ear phones but you need to listen to the loud speaker for flight information when you are delayed. They were making it very difficult.
If you have thoughts on something I publish, I’d LOVE to hear about it. This is the sharing economy of internet awesomeness.
There is a difference between being a kid and being a misbehaved bratty child. I posted how I feel about the situation I was in.
Let’s hope this incident inspires people to raise their children with manners & etiquette. We want the younger generation to be kind & respectful. Don’t we?
Also, if you would like to submit something to the brand new Annoying Department, please do that too.
Oh, guess what? I don’t really like animals either. OMG.
P.S. I ordered this awesome unicorn lightsaber t-shirt from Threadless and I Love Katy Perry. She looks so cute in braces. I had braces in high school too. I go see her in concert soon!
In honour of this windy warm weekend, here’s some Bon Iver to drift away to…
Wouldn’t it be splendid to be walking around Paris and stumble into this? So lovely!
New to Bon Iver? Well let me help. Here’s the Bon Iver breakdown.
That handsome singer-songwriter fronting Bon Iver is Justin Vernon
“For Emma, Forever Ago” is not only the name of the song above, but name of Bon Iver’s debut album from 2008
Most of the record was written over three months spent in a remote cabin in Northwestern Wisconsin – after a breakup!
Recognize that voice? Kanye West sampled “Woods” for “Lost In This World” and got Justin Vernon to contributed vocals for his lasted release “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy”
Bon Iver’s second album (titled “Bon Iver”) comes out June 21st, but until then you can stream the entire new album here!
I recommend you do so, alongside some tea and a cozy blanket during the next thunderstorm.
