I’m not one of the 50% but I may as well be.

Just a taste of the fun I had shooting @theelwins today! (Taken with instagram)

Congrats @danmanganmusic on his #juno win. I’m still buzzing from his absolutely lovely CMW performance. Couldn’t be there? Want to relive it all? Click on the photo for a recap of the night.

 Check out my first piece for @SidewalkHustle featuring, @greatbloomers, @theelwins, @thegreykingdom and, @armygirlsmusic. A recap of some of the best of Canadian Music Week. There were lots of other highlights but in the interest of brevity I chose just a few highlights.

Does it get any cuter than two otters holding hands? Be prepared, it’ll melt even the coldest hearts.

You know how there’s this sassy harpist in the first season of Gilmore Girls. (No clue what I mean- check the link.) Well the reason why I bring her up is that, I wanted to share the latest video from Carnival Moon. 

Carnival Moon features Elaine Kelly on Harp/Vocals, Dave Scanlon on Violin/Vocals and a whole cast of some of the best musicians in the city.

Elaine is a staple in the Toronto music scene lending her skills to a variety of projects in the time that I have known her. This talented musician is inspiration for those who are afraid to take up a challenge only to succeed by leaps and bounds. 

One can go so far to make direct comparisons between Carnival Moon and  Joanna Newsom, a fairly well known vocalist/harpist. However Elaine’s vocals have the tenderness of Joanna Newsom without being sickeningly sweet. Carnival moon brings this element of effortless etherealness which is completely breathtaking both live and recorded. 

I heartily encourage you to check out the video and come to see them play live at the Static Zine Launch on Wednesday at The Rivoli with The Ruby Spirit and, Wazu, Also MUSIC TRIVIA.  

I’m trying to win a contest to see some sweet bands play on top of my favourite tourist attraction, the CN tower. Cheers internet.

This is the cutest!

I have a very special place in my heart for Couchsurfing. As an active (not as much recently) member since 2007 I have had the opportunity to meet and experience some incredible people, places and, things. Janice is the primary reason I got involved in the project in the first place. 

She was (and still is) this really rad girl who I would always be in the front row with at shows right through the early and mid 2000’s in Toronto. I never remember how we officially met but I just know that I’m glad to have her in my life. We have both surfed at eachother’s places in different cities, and at one point might have contemplated becoming roommates.  

Janice is someone I model my approach to communities both online and off upon. She is open-minded and respectful of people. She is constantly wanting to learn from others in any way possible. She is a ridiculously talented designer currently living in The Windy City, working on a dual Masters of Design and MBA. 

Take a second to check out her work and also Couchsurfing. Feel free to ask me any questions you have about Couchsurfing, including how to get involved. It’s a such a unique experience that I hope more people I know get involved with. 

I love everything about this outfit!

I’m not much of a sweet tooth, but this seemed too good not to share. 

I was out dancing with Jess a few weeks ago and happened to spot Daniella completely wrapped up in the music with her (dance) partner. I stopped for a second in this voyeuristic moment watching two people completely in love literally dancing like no one was watching. It was such a charming thing to watch and it made my heart ache for the day that I too will be able to dance in the arms of someone I love as much as she loves her partner. 

This song is breathtakingly beautiful and reminded me of the tenderness I witnessed not too long ago.
