I think yesterday (and just this weekend in general) was one of my best days ever.

It started off rather uneventfully with a haircut. Then I headed off to the old port to check out the Eureka festival. It was an entire afternoon of science prevailing. I even got a plaque carved with a laser! At first I met up with Vijeta but Skrud, Kyle and Heather showed up a little later. After beating the heart (who's in charge now, heart? You think you can flatline on me? I don't think so) and lifting matter with my mind (I still think that one is bullshit.. I want an explanation!) we headed off to Chinatown for some food. Harley joined us at Pho Bang and I had a tasty dinner.

After dinner we headed back to the festival for the laser show. I guess I built it up too much in my mind (we were debating who would win in a fight between a laser and lightning since a storm seemed to be coming) and it was my only letdown of the day. We stuck around for a while amusing ourselves and we tried out the pedophile trap but got bored and managed to get out unarrested.

By now it was getting a bit late so Heather, Kyle and Vijeta headed home. Skrud, Harley and I headed up to the fringe park to wait for the 13th hour show. On the way though, I broke a flip flop. On St-Laurent. At 10:30 pm. Crap. So I ended up walking up and down a good part of St-Laurent on one flip-flop and one bare foot until Clare called and her brother had the great idea of using a shoelace to try and fix it somehow. So we found an open grocery store (after going by 2 closed pharmacies which is where we were actually trying to go) and I bought some shoelaces, MacGuyvered my flip flop and had a temporary walking implement. Science prevails!

We met up with Clare, her brother, Sean and Bridget at the 13th hour and it was amazing as usual, plenty of dance parties and lots of funny and entertaining acts. I'm definitely going to be seeing a lot of fringe stuff this week (next time is probably on thrustday) so if you're interested in comedy or just an all-around good time give me a call or leave me a note and I'll let you know what we're up to in the near future.

The best fringe of them all, is the fringe in Montreal.
