Yay another show. Ironic that it didn’t show up in my podcatcher until this morning though (Oct 26) Alanis wept.
I did the Nuit Blanche thing as well, but didn’t make it out to the west end, though there was a great gallery at Bathurst and King which included old 50’s and 60’s jukebox films, and a cube made out of popcorn, with moving pieces. Definitely the highlight of the show for me. Lower Bay was KIND of interesting, but I’m glad that I didn’t go until about 3 am, when there was no line up. Earlier in the evening it was about 2 hrs long.
I’ve got to agree with your review of Rocket Science. It did have it’s moments, but it sure did have all the quirks of an ‘indie’ film, defined not by it’s budget but by it’s style. (In an almost accurate use of the word) ironically, just like record companies, movie companies have learned that ‘indie’ can be marketed to a certain segment of the population, just like the record labels learned in the early 90’s that “alternative” and “rap” could be marketed to disaffected youths, leading to homogenization of those genres…
Hope you made it to the Zombie Walk. Although I was still somewhat sick with a cold (though past the contagious point), I ended up going, and had a blast.
Favourite Zombie? – Rocker Zombie who was carrying his electric guitar hooked up to a little fuzzbox, occasionally strumming a grungy chord and grunting incoherently zombie like.
And finally, what keeps me listening is the saga of Fernando.
Cheers.
