tam tams and tassles
oh my.
so, after waking up from my workout/party induced coma that was saturday, i headed to the gym for salsa class. i was disappointed to see that i missed the drag races, but it turns out that i was available for the chicken burlesque and D called me up in the nick of time (quicker than johnny depp-mizthang i see ya) to secure that plan.
i stopped by indigo to read my latest indulgence: Shug by Jenny Han. read it, it has a big popsicle on it, and a stunning author pic/bio. she also hearts jordan catalano because i found her on myspace and she could very well be a virgo/ goat too.
i made myself the yummiest salad rolls...yummy! and headed to st.laurent. i always forget how long that dang street is, but since the street party was still going on, it seemed shorter. that and brazil won (gol gol gol.....) and people were smoking their meat/hawking their wares all over. i met up with D and we got a very nice "cafe au lait froid" before waiting to get into our show, and got caught up on the happenings of before we both left vancouver and were riding lowrider bikes.
the show was amazing. all the singing and dancing and pasties were on-point and worth the money paid. (yes, i paid to see a show) he also smuggled in some fabulous polish custard donuts that were the bomb. we went by the tam tams on mt royal and i got to see the hippies get down.
walking back on st.laurent, i ran into kent (coloured lights no longer MIA singer) and after getting him a beard trimmer and me a pineapple on a stick and escorting his american aparelled co-worker home, we headed out to the jam space and it was magical because my jam cherry was popped, and i freestyled over the live drum and bass....i'm totally hooked. they're getting gigs and i couldn't be happier for them because they are a solid group of guys...they teased with a little bit of "sweet child of mine" and let me be their tambourine girl once i had to relinquish the mic back to kent, but i have to admit that doing "hypnotize" and "rappers delite" with jay and his rock band were the freaking highlight of the evening. rock and soul people....look out. "don't just tell me that you need me".
