so started off the weekend on a friday. pretty chill workday, everyone's gone so left early to go to west. for some delicious delicious caesars. actually the best caesars in calgary i am pretty sure. they come with a giant shrimp as a garnish. rocked some appy's with john, ashley and rachel, then headed towards kensington to continue the night. went to the source, ogled some snowboards, longboards, and other assorted sports equipment, then went to the toy store, which was soooo cool. all the toys that i didn't have as a child. after the toy store was molly malone's where i have actually never been before. several pints of guinness (pretty good pour with the shamrock and all) later, we were out the door to the yardhouse. then i get this phone call from andrew, and somehow flux pavilion and downlink are playing that night at the distillery. soooo for sure going down there. hanging out at yardhouse for a little while, met up with kevin and lee and some other people for a bit, and got chris moore to join us as well. head down to the distillery for the show.
dress shoes were a terrible idea, as were jeans and one too many shirts. never been to the distillery either, but the space was great for some beauty bass. pretty awesome show. really intense, loud, and one of the most ridiculous events i have ever been to. shirts optional was in effect, as the temperature and humidity became stifling. there was a lion costume. i rolled up my jeans, pulled up the socks, and went ahead and used the shirt as a bandana. flux pavilion was just sick though. soooo good. went for some post bar gatorade at the mac's, then inexplicably got a footlong sub. took a cab home, and promptly put the sub in the fridge for the next day.
good sleep in, head to shaganappi for nine holes. kind of an unexpectedly chilly day. this season has been some pretty terrible golfing for me, just can't make any shots. still a good time trying though. made some delicious yogurt and coconut curry, ate a steamed bun and noodles, played several games of scrabble. scrabble is actually one of the best games ever. it is also fun playing with people that do not play strictly three letter words. played some settlers of catan, built an empire on wood and gold.
woke up early on sunday, ate some chinese buns, went to church with rachel and family. it was pretty good, i actually quite enjoyed it. tried to go to lazy loaf and kettle for lunch, but unfortunately it was closed. so the coup for lunch! which was pretty amazing. smoked tofu panini, soup and a falafel quesadilla - it is food like this that makes me want to be a vegetarian. visited a few vintage stores on 17th, some cool and ridiculous clothes - probably shouldn't be getting any more wool sweaters at this point though. dropped by megatunes to look for some ridiculous music. happened upon an ad for a three 6 mafia show in september hahaha. tried to go to the fabric store in huntington which turned out to have transformed into a asian food store, which we then proceeded to browse in. ahh, brought back a lot of childhood snack time memories. watched pan's labryinth - which actually is such a good movie - reminded me a lot of the hemingway book 'for whom the bell tolls'. really great cinematography, acting, great storyline. dinner from alfredo, really good, and then went to rachel's friend's house for some tea, chatting, and looking at plaid fabric. pretty solid weekend right there.
