Episode 1 - June 10, 2008

Our first vlog!

Katherine and I are really excited to show you our first attempt at putting our first video blog together!

On June 10, 2008, we began our night at the Mille Femme exhibit at Brookfield Place, biked up town to see Black Watch at Varsity Arena, stopped off at Hart House to observe Slow Dance, grabbed a bite to eat at Queen and Spadina before rockin’ out at The Horseshoe Tavern with Sebastien Grainger And The Mountains.

Here’s how much we spent tonight: approximately $47.

Unfortunately we couldn’t take any footage of the Black Watch performance - lucky for us though, there’s a great preview on YouTube - check it out here:

We hope you enjoy the first of our vlogs about culture in Toronto. Do you know of an event or exhibition or show we should check out? Give us a shout!

Did you see one of the events we saw? What did you think of it? Leave a comment!

    My bad - I spelt Sebastien’s name wrong in the video … whoops! Sorry Sebastien! :)
    By the by … I saw Black Watch again today with my family and friends for Father’s Day and it was even BETTER the second time! So many nuances that I didn’t pick up the first time (and could understand the accent better as well). It’s such a brilliant show!

    Blair and Katherine, congratulations on your first episode! I love the concept and the format, it’s very smart and the mix of public art, theatre and music is refreshing. I like the Bike Cam too! The format really shows how accessible so much great culture is in our city. Keep going!

    The filming went well last night - but there were some unexpected “surprises” along the way … ;)
    Stay tuned! I hope to have the next episode up by Monday.

    Hey Katherine
    Hiya Blair
    This was great….well done. I think you’re on to something here.
    The only thing missing was Blair’s Slow Dance…now that woulda been special.
