To My American Peeps: Happy Thanksgiving!

As I stare out my window all I see is grey and the little flakes of snow swirling in the air. These are just two pictures that prove that Montreal does indeed have an Autumn. It doesn't last very long but it happens.

Toronto

Winter is, rather quickly, coming to Montreal. But I wanted to add some of these pictures from my trip to Toronto late in the summer. My friend Krista Leis was getting married in Stratford so I spent a day and a half there and also in Toronto seeing some friends.

I don't go to Toronto very much which is strange I guess because I grew up there. It took a minute to really take in where I was. It was a little sad to sense that I didn't feel a strong connection to the City anymore. But what I loved the most was spending time with friends I hadn't seen in a very long time. That made the trip really special.

Hanging out with Rhonda and Davis
I was introduced to Rhonda and Davis through my friend Mat. When I lived in a Co-Op in Cabbagetown they were our neighbours. They now live in their own House on Queen East. It;s a pretty cool up and coming part of town with some wonderful restaurants and bakeries. It's always great to see these two because they tell the best stories. I am always laughing and learning when I hang out with these two.




Krista and Randy met in Stratford while performing in Gigi. So it was only fitting that they be married in Stratford. Really, you can't go wrong having a Wedding there. So beautiful.

I didn't have a lot of time off over the summer because I was really committed to saving money, buying a new laptop and getting new DJ equipment. So this trip to Toronto, though short, was a real treat. I really wanted to see Joshua since he had also been a way from Canada for a while living in London, England. Like most people, Joshua was working, but I was able to hang out with him while he was on break. He's such a special guy and I really do hope I get to see more of him now that we are both in the same country.

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of Chad who was kind enough to let me stay at his place while I was in the t-dot. That was also quite special for me because it had been a while since we really were able to connect. He's such a lovely man.

One of the highlights for sure was hanging out with this lady. Karla Jang and I did two shows together and our friendship has continued to stay strong. She and I have moved on from the 'Business' in our own ways so it's always great to get together with her, not only to reminisce and catch up on gossip on such but to also talk about where we are in our lives and what's new. This is a shot I took while we were shopping for beef to put on the grill for dinner.


There were a few more people I would have loved to see but my trip was so short it wouldn't have been possible. It really wasn't so much the City itself as it was the close friends I have there that made the trip really awesome. I hope I can create some time to go back soon.
