The Antisocial Socialist

I just got back from seeing Ragtime at Shaw with the wonderful bcholmes. It was very exciting. I used to think that I wasn't a fan of musicals* but this seems to have changed. Anyway, if someone had told me that there were musicals with Emma Goldman in them I probably would have been into musicals sooner.

Niagara-on-the-Lake is really pretty. I know it's touristy, but I do tend to fall for an entire town of Victoriana. I mean, they have a museum of pharmacy! How cool is that? One of these days, I need to tool around Southern Ontario and just be a silly steampunk tourist.

* Other than Cabaret and Threepenny Opera.

There are many pictures and even a short video of our adventures today. I tried to weed, honestly I did, but there was so much awesome that I almost considered splitting the awesome in half.


We tip generously, but monster_grrrl goes a step farther and also tips a dinosaur.

Beneath the cut lies:
• Natural History Museum and Bug Art
• Dog Chapel
• Bread and Puppets Theater
• The Diet Coke and Mentos Experiment
• Random cool things that happened and animals, adorable and otherwise

( are you ready? )

Tonight, we are in Montréal at ivytheadventure's pad. We bumped into one of her friends and went to her place for beer and conversation. Tomorrow we head home.

HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS THE CAMPSITE HAS WIRELESS!

I come bearing photos and stories.


The morning started at Rip Van Winkle's, where we had a mostly good night's sleep and did not wake up with beards.

( Ice cream, arcades, and camping! )

Full report of the day to come, but basically at the end of it, we couldn't find the campsite and so we are crashed out at the Rip Van Winkle Motel just outside of Plattsburgh.

In lieu of a photodump, I leave you with an excerpt of the movie we watched tonight:

Hey kids,

I will soon be off for the Epic Roadtrip of Epicness. Internets access will be spotty; I'll try to keep in touch as best I can.

See you on the flipside,

Teh Sabs.
