The Past Couple of Weeks...

SuperArt Crawl Concert: Broken Social Scene

So it's been a long time since i last posted, but to be honest I've just been busy with uni work. The good thing is, along with many other exchange students, we have managed to book a 3 day break to Montreal in the Quebec province during the Thanksgiving weekend! (thanksgiving in Canada is on a different date to the USA), i'll be going there next weekend!

For the past few weeks I have been doing quiet a few things, but i just didn't post about them as it was all happening so fast. But for this post I've chosen to blog about an Art festival that was held in Hamilton City, called SuperArt Crawl, which happens once a year. It was pretty cool as there were a lot of random stools, from bohemian jewellery, classic record stools, Cupcake vans (which would be a wicked idea for the cupcake company to adopt at Lancaster university), snow cones and art on top of building tops, as well as on the ground. Overall it was a wicked day, i also got a free flip book which has amused me for a while, slightly concerning, and i also got to see the Broken Social Scene! There were also a variety things happening on this never ending Street, such as a girl playing the harp, a 60+ year old man hip thrusting during a band performance, and various art work dotted along the street. The building on the right had Knitted walls which looked quiet good! We also ventured into this really old Cinema, which the hamilton council are trying to bring back into action.

Overall the day was really good and i got to see some really cool and unusual things. As mid-day approached, we also stopped by at a mini art crawl which was taking place a few blocks down with similar aspects to the main one, but was more family based. Although, the reggae music at the mini festival was really good! Whilst on this street, i did eat probably one of the nicest pizza's i have eaten, sorry Dogan's, but this pizza was the Shizzle!...Let's just say there was spinach and Hellim on it, surely thats enought to excite the tastebuds! No joke..is was too nice!

As midnight passed i headed home on the bus with my aching feet! And also some other random activity we went to was a Midnight hike in the forest behind my university campus! It ended up with all of us sitting in a circle listening to the sound of maracas and bongos, at least i think they were bongos, as well as a girl swinging lights around, which i did have a little go at. There were meant to be smores and a bonfire but it rained a little so that failed. Then we retreated to a cool game of table tennis! I've been doing some other cool things, but i guess i have wrote enough now, but i'll be posting again pretty soon as i'll be attending a couple of cool things this weekend :)

P.s Happy 21st Birthday to our Aussie friend Caitlin!
