If you dont know what it is, its an art festival that runs in three different zones downtown from 7pm to 7am. Basically the city was in zombie mode.
Caribana Fridays dont really have shit on Nuit Blanche tho. Caribana is only Yonge St. and the Club District. The whole city was out last night of some dawn of the dead shit.
Anyways, lets begin with the nights events. So Falesha and I headed off to Pho 88 in Chin City to feed our faces and have enough energy for the long adventure.
Of course after we ate, we saw this in the back alley as I got my car from the underground garage. Always count on some exciting stuff in Chinatown. Talk about zombie night right?
The first exhibit was in an alley at Shuter by Yonge...It was simply...garbage with a roof over us...Trust me...we were really puzzled...
Right off the bat she said "Thats Da Vinci"...damnit woman, I didnt even get a chance to even think yet and you answered.
Cash cab! Woulda jumped in but we were too nervous to lose and get kicked out before our destination.
Umm...this looks like a woman is stuck inside of my Ikea paper lamp that I have in my bedroom...that is a really creepy thought...*will cringes
Umm...this looks like someone found a decayed female body under the ocean and somehow, some coral reefs got attached to her head...its artsy?...fartsy?
Imagine this was actually two dimensional...and one day you come downstairs in your living room and the fairy was actually trying to escape the painting...or palette? whatever that is...
Umm...so this thing...mmmhmmm...it was like this giant spider web made of rubber elastic material...and everyone was tryna run in it and get tangled for some dumb possessed reason...of course Falesha and I stood there and watch the fall of mankind...and photographed it.
These were just two crazy emo goths that were trippin off some drugs. "Hey this fence is really sharp and Im really intrigued by it." (thats a real quote) ...someone shoulda told these idiots that the gate was open juss directly to the left of this picture...fuckin numb nuts.
There was a concert stage inside the garbage can playing music...I wish they had toilets like that...
Falesha started tripping out when we got inside the Maple Leaf Gardens...she said it reminded her of some outbreak/zombie type thing where the stadiums became like the sanctuary for all survivors or the immune. lol I only got creeped out after she said that.
Well after the 4 hour adventure, we decided to give into our cravings and headed down to Garden where we ordered Chicken Corn Soup, Fried Rice and some General Tao...Yes...thats right we ate twice in a span of 4 hours...hopefully Ill still have money for car payments. lol
Side note: Fortune cookies are dangerous! lol
Thank you for an amazing evening, I wish it never turned into day...

Wow...Toronto is more interesting then I thought! Heard of and been to Caribana but never Nuit Blanche. Those crazy white folks lol! I gotta get outta this hick town and make a move to the big city asap!
dope on the pics... wanted to venture after spinnin' at guv but was sooo tired... i couldn't believe how many ppl were out and about walking at 4am!!! Everywhere was packed to eat, Fran's, Garden, etc.
I wanted to make it out but I been sick in zombie mode all weekend...thanks for giving me a glimpse into the excitement LOL wickedawesome stuff :)
the they got the windows in the building to light up by putting a lamp behind every window and then controlling them with a computer to go on and off...i really liked that one...i thought it was even crazier after i heard that...thanx for the glimpse of your night...looks really interesting :)
yea it was really dope. I was supposed to work at a club that night...but i decided to skip out and do something more cultured and more special.
Looks like it paid off for me and some of you guys.
and for the lighting of buildings at city hall...that would make a lot of sense...but still...that is absolute insanity to plan and control...at least i think so anyways.
Thanks for the inside scoop *pause
I must have just missed you at Gardens. Chicken Fried Rice, Spicy Shrimp and Chili Chicken. Been going there since two locations ago. Not the one upstairs, the one before that. Great food. Great pics of the evning- def better than the ones my Canon Elph captured.
