It was a long day … but it was worth it. :)

Episode 2 - June 19, 2008

Hey everyone,

We’re in widescreen! I figured out how to film on the video camera in 16:9 ratio … yay!

Last Thursday Katherine and I headed out on the town to see if we drink up some more culture in Toronto. We had it all planned out and it started off really well at Prefix. We grabbed some food and then chaos ensued …

Okay, not really chaos, but we certainly had to improvise. You’ll have to watch the episode to figure out what happens!

We’re really ecstatic about the response we’ve had from our first episode. There are so many events coming up in the summer, I doubt we’ll have any trouble finding new events to attend. But if you know of an event coming up that you think we should take a look at, contact us and let us know! We’ll try and fit it into our schedule!

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!
