You haven’t missed the West End Studio Tour yet

Garrie Bea Joyce’s tools

We spent much of Sunday visiting artists on the West End Studio Tour. (It’s on again next weekend, in case you missed it.) We started at Garrie Bea Joyce’s studio because she was in our mixed media art course last year.

Garrie was light years ahead of the rest of us. […]

The Catwalk

GC and I did the Catwalk on Sunday. The Centretown Art Tour. You get to visit 11 artists in their homes/studios.

Artists have such interesting homes. Mostly trippy little apartments with lots of light and well-painted walls with good art on them. I actually started to miss apartment living.

We started with Meaghan Haughian because she’s […]

Entertainment extravaganza this Friday at Raw Sugar

The whole blogosphere is abuzz with the news of a triple-header this Friday at Raw Sugar!

It’s the opening of Milan’s first photography show! (He’s having a contest on his blog right now, by the way – you can win stuff just by commenting.)

If that weren’t enough, Hella Stella is providing first-class musical entertainment!

And if […]

Carnivale Lune Bleue: a review

GC and I went to the Carnivale Lune Bleue at Hog’s Back on Wednesday night. It was a last-minute decision and we were late so we just got the general admission Midway tickets.

For the record, it’s not a very wheelchair accessible venue; we struggled a lot to maneuver my wheelchair around. To their credit, […]

Weekend Roundup

It’s hard to believe it’s the weekend again already. The weeks have been racing by at breakneck speed ever since I got laid off.

Once again, there’s no shortage of things to do this weekend if you feel like being outside under sunny skies and comfortable temperatures, or even if you feel like doing stuff […]

Send in the Clones

GC and I are having a tough time trying to decide what to do tonight, because there are soooo many interesting things happening around town. We’re divvying up the following events amongst ourselves and our clones. I thought I’d share them with you too, in case you’re looking for something to do tonight. (I’ve also […]

Things to do this week

I’m interrupting my humble (and deeply, deeply humbling) trek down Lovers’ Lane to bring you some community announcements about events taking place around Ottawa this week.

Just Foods is offering free Beginner Organic Vegetable Garden Workshops which will be at various locations around the city on May 5th, 6th, 12th and 14th. There’s a free downloadable […]

Swingin’ from the treetops

Today was not the perfect knitting day, it was the perfect day for a visit to the Aerial Park at Lafleche Caves. My friend Ken and I drove up there first thing in the morning, and from 9:00 till noon we were swingin’ from the treetops.

The Aerial Park is this crazy obstacle course […]
