This is a really late update, but the trip up north was awesome! Here’s a brief rundown of the trip, with pics!
Met up with michelle in NYC on the way. I fell asleep on the plane:
It was DUMB turbulent. I threw up:
Just kidding on that one. But finally made it to Toronto only to learn that the apartment I had arranged was not going to be available. So I was an orphan for the rest of the trip, here’s my tent (thanks to Michelle’s neice):
Also just kidding! I ended up staying with the homie, DJ Mensa. First night we went out to Andy Pool Hall. Really nice spot, DJ spinning funk and REAL hip-hop the whole night:
(HAHAHA)
The next day we went to check out the CN Tower (I like to do tourist stuff too!). So many pictures from the tower, and LOTS of inside jokes. Fun times there:
(shoe game with the moose in the lobby)
On to the gift shop and lobby of the tower:
bitch ass moose!
(attack of the neon butterflies!)
(magic wand!!)
(my Lil’ Mac from Punch-Out! impression)
Ice Skating outside the tower. With SBs!
Then we found a random white wall. So we decided to make a lookbook. Random, I know, but hey it was fun!
Then we walk back outside and it’s COLD!
(PAUSE)
Next it was time to do some shopping. Word to Livestock! (thanks for the tee and the lace locks fellas!)
The next day everyone decided that even though I was an orphan that I was big enough to find my way to downtown by myself. Waiting for the street car:
When I got downtown, the homie Atic and I did some more shopping. Word to Lounge! And I got mad records too. And look, I found some more Indians like me!
Later that night, it was time for Peachfuzz @ Chinadoll. I had a blast while I was there:
(the chinadoll wall. silver paint, with felt appliques!)
word to Zee
End of the night, everyone is tired:
I was supposed to go straight to the airport after this to head back home. But I was replaced at the last minute for the Little Brother show, so I stayed an extra day! I don’t have any pics because I was just hangin out. Snapped this last one when Michelle was dropping me off:
Needless to say I had a great time, and can’t wait to go back (when it’s warmer!). There are tons more pics that I didn’t post. They can all be found in a set here on my flickr page. Or you can jump right here to check out the slideshow version.
I came back and got hit with the flu, so I was out of commission all of last week. The first night at mosquito went off just right and this week I’ve been focusing heavy on the DJing and attempting to spin a variance of music styles, so I can turn the party out in different ways. Next post is going to be a free mixtape from Dan Johns and me. Gonna finish that up in the next couple of days, so stay tuned!
Also, before I end this I wanted to post a link to DJ Mensa’s December Exquisite mix. He finished it the day I arrived. Really dope mix, so make sure you check it out! Here’s the link and also the tracklist:
