Ah Toronto, our last port of call.
I had been here once before, when I was a young tyke. All I remembered from then was the heat, the shiny buildings, maple ice cream with sugar cage, seeing lots of Claes Oldenburg and a Louise Bourgeois exhibit that gave me nightmares. I had fun then but to [...]

I just realised I might as well finish the tales of the rest of our travels.

On a side note, as I sat on the train I was thinking back over lovely gigs I’ve attended this year, and remembered the joy of Hidden Cameras show at Richard’s and also how Hidden Cameras are indeed from Toronto so it was appropriate listening.

I just realised I never posted this properly. gah. Here:
Austin, Austin, Austin. What hath you brought me? Well, apart from aforementioned deathly mosquito bites and extreme mugginess, Austin was jolly fun. I knew it wouldn’t be a particularly truthful representation of the mythical Texas but I hadn’t realised quite how much it would suit me.
