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
    • I went to the Harbourfront summer festivals last year. It was amazing! Great food, a few great shows - notables were the Blue's Festival, Island Soul, and the Hot & Spicy Food Festival. 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.

    Civil disobedience is called for

    Image
    In an act of desperation, Tim DeCristopher chose civil disobedience to disrupt the bidding process that saw 149,000 acres of public land leased off to oil companies in Utah. The lease of the land to oil companies, to allow drilling, has been contested by many who wish to preserve the pristine land, located near Arches National Park, the White River, the greater Desolation Canyon region, Labyrinth Canyon, the benches east of Canyonlands National Park, Nine Mile Canyon, the Book Cliffs and the Deep Creek Mountains. It is one of the final sell-off by the dying Bush administration. DeCristopher showed at the auction, registered as a bidder, and started bidding -- and winning -- with no intention of purchasing or paying for the auctions he won. Way to go dude! You're a hero!
