Harbourfront Centre Festivals
Ah ... summer. It's not quite here yet. Today it was freezing, the rain was pouring, and from my desk at the office, I was sure I saw specks of white stuff floating in the air (no, I'm not going to say it). Coming home tonight, I had to have the heater on in the car. It was cold. Regardless, summer is coming. It's inevitable (say that with an Agent Smith voice). WIth summer time, are my plans to take in the free shows at Harbourfront - my youngest will hopefully find some of these appealing, as she is the only one I can possibly count on for some consistent company at these events:
Sol Soulstice: June 20-22
Anthems & Icons: June 27-29
Labatt Blue's Festival: July 4-6
World's Fare: The America's Now: July 10-13, 18-20
Francophonix: July 25-27
Free Flicks: Weekly, July 3-Aug. 23 (This for my eldest and I.)
Guinness Island Soul: Aug. 1-4
Masala! Mehndi! Masti!: Aug. 8-10
Gobsmacked!: Aug. 15-17
Stella Artois Hot & Spicy Food Festival: Aug. 22-24
Fresh: Aug. 29-Sept. 1

If you want to see the see pictures from the festivals last year, be sure to check out my webshots accounts (left column). I'll be there this year again with my digital camera. Hopefully no one takes it away from me.

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut -- This is one hilarious movie -- but boy is it rude. It's rude beyond the point of being offensive. The movie takes the good taste filter off and amuses with humour that simulate the juvenile in us. Every now and again though, that little kid in us needs to be amused -- and this movie will certainly do that. If you're offended by the movie, it's because the adult in you is watching. The Brothers Grimm -- This was an OK fantasy movie, moving at a good pace, with the appropriate level of action and humour. The special effects were well done -- and so was the cinematography. If you missed it in the theatre, you didn't miss much however. You can catch it on DVD. The Aristocrats -- This is a movie about a joke. One joke. That's it.
