Weekend Tune: “Stumble” by Bonjay

Weekend Tune: “Stumble” by Bonjay

Happy long-weekend everyone! Thanksgiving! That’s happening! Turkey am I right? Now before you get stuffed with stuffing, here’s a tune to dance your but off to. It’s “Stumble” by Toronto natives Bonjay! You should know that every time I watch this music video or hear this song I do the same dance as the girl in the video. What I’m saying is that I’ve got some unreal moves. I had no idea just how amazing Bonjay are (or who they were) until last week when I saw them play Steam Whistle Unsigned! Needless to say they started a dance party AND blew my mind. Overall awesomeness. Enjoy! xo Kate

I’m not growing flowers, I’m growing friends

I’m not growing flowers, I’m growing friends

I am seriously in love with whoever is responsible for creating the Dairy Queen ads. They make me smile. The one with subtitles you can ride on is my fav. Saw this ‘friend grower’ one today. I’ve never had a meal at there but I’d like to try it now. The DQ near me only makes hot dogs, no burger or fries. I would love a burger right now. Kate & I were working at Tequila Bookworm today and ordered burgers but they were out. iSad! Updated my art blog, Borderline Artistic w/ new layout after watching this video from Google. Blogger has totally changed the interface & available layouts. I have a couple Blogger blogs. I actually have heaps of blogs 20+. I don’t update them all anymore but one day I will. This is one of my fav drawings. Borderline Artistic has been around since Sept. 2008. Found out today that Aggy Deyn (who used to blog about all the time like here and here) is the spokesperson for Dr. Martens FW 2011 campaign #FIRSTANDFOREVER. Ahh, two things I love together. Gonna go get a pair of Docs like her next week. Heading to Gladstone tonight for Pop Kult. Ross is DJ at midnight. Gonna be fun, fun, fun!

Play Time: Sex, Religion & Other Hang-Ups

Play Time: Sex, Religion & Other Hang-Ups

Attention everyone! James Gangl is on the hunt of a lady friend! He’s searching for his boo and it could be you! Let me explain…   Last night I was lucky enough to go to the press opening of Sex, Religion & Other Hang-Ups at  Theatre Passe Muraille. It’s a one-man-show in which James Gangl tells the story of how his horn-dog ways conflicted with his intense Catholic upbringing. I don’t want to give to much away because YOU HAVE TO GO SEE IT! Really you guys. It’s pretty great. I don’t even usually dig solo-shows but this? LOVED it! Is it raunchy? Just enough. Hilarious? Most definitely. Does he sell copies of his real journal filled with love-struck bad poetry after the show? You bet. I have a copy. You simply must check it out – unless you don’t like laughter, in which case what’s wrong with you?! Sex, Religion & Other Hang-Ups is playing at Theatre Passe Muraille until October 22nd so get your tickets now! And if you’re a single lady tickets are only $15! What a deal! Laaaaaaaaadiessss! Enjoy! xo Kate

ultimate hipster activities

ultimate hipster activities

With respect to Steve Jobs, my fav Apple ad of all time. “Here’s to the crazy ones…” I raised a glass to him last night. Happy I switched to Apple before his passing. iSad. This morning I went the Direct Energy Centre for the mega huge American Apparel warehouse sale. HUGE sale. Met the legend behind American Apparel Dov Charney there too. He chatted to Sabrina & I outside 🙂 #hipsterwin Tomorrow night Scottie hottie Ross aka HAL KILMER is DJ at The Gladstone Hotel. I’m going with a bunch of peeps. Come out & dance with us. Ross made this mix especially for you my blog loving friends. I’ve been listening while I make this blog stew. Pop Kult! Mix by Hal Kilmer Gonna vote, meet Sam for lunch & prep for my talk tonight at Workplace One. There’s about a hundred people coming. Woot.

Contests

I won a car live on YouTube, not even kidding.

I won a car live on YouTube, not even kidding.

 Remember how I was like “Come to YD Square, first youtube.ca live event ever” blah blah blah. Well, let this be your lesson that you should listen to me more often.  Well, I went and test drove the new Chevy Volt during the #chevroletallday event. It’s electric and was really quiet & smooth to drive, had some kick too. Vrooooooom. Keri drove too. She’s a really good driver. Cute graffiti artist boy who was part of my Arm Yourself event at YD Square last year was there. This guy 🙂 Still cute. Three finalists who answered their phones after txting in were called up on stage. First up, didn’t start the car, next was me, my key started it. OH MY GAWDDDD. Check me out in my new Chevy Sonic. It’s small & cute which is exactly what I would want if I was going to get a car. I’m really excited to roadtrip! Me & the lovely Peter Cornu, Manager of Special Events for General Motors of Canada. Hey Peter, let’s work together! I’m in shock that I won and all kinds of grown up questions are coming at me from everyone. I don’t know If I can take a buy out, I have no idea about insurance, I don’t think it’s a lease,  yes I want sunroof, no I can’t come pick you up yet, and I think I get it soon. OMFG I WON A CAR. For SURE getting a lotto ticket for tonight. If I win lotto you can go ahead & hate me but I promise to do good with the money 🙂   [all photos (except the cute grafitti guy from last year) taken October 4, 2011  by Richard Budman for Chevrolet Canada
