Ragtime

I just got back from seeing Ragtime at Shaw with the wonderful [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Home again!

Back in Toronto. That was seriously the Best Roadtrip Ever.

We met up with [livejournal.com profile] culpster's old film friends for breakfast, then burned straight through to Toronto, with a stop back at the Big Apple:

This month, I was in two Canadian provinces, three American states, and two Mexican states.

Okay, laundry-time. Yay home.

The epic penultimate day

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] ivytheadventure's pad. We bumped into one of her friends and went to her place for beer and conversation. Tomorrow we head home.

cranky & damp

Hey guess what guys? I like camping much better when it doesn't rain.

Anyway, yesterday was super-awesome and I have a ton of pictures for you.

Today we begin the journey back, stopping for roadside attractions and hopefully the Diet Coke and Mentos experiment.

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! )

Belated Day 2 post

Sleep is good. Okay, here's the photodump from yesterday.

The new addition on the left is [livejournal.com profile] ivytheadventure, completing our happy band of adventurers. We are wondering if [livejournal.com profile] culpster intended to travel with a blond, a brunette, and a redhead.

pretty under the cut )

So from here on, we're driving to Burlington and New Hampshire. The goal is to hit Laconia by today. We're also camping, so I'm probably offline until Monday.

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:

Me, [livejournal.com profile] culpster, and [livejournal.com profile] monster_grrrl.

We attempted to watch the Perseids, but they were not cooperative.

Tomorrow: Lots o' driving.

Off again!

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.
