I had told myself that I was going to stay out of all of this sillyness,
however, I would just like to say that I spent a very enjoyable weekend in
Toronto. Though I stayed at the little-too-hippy-for-my-taste backpackers
hostel, I found some nice record shops, met some very interesting people,
and bought a *ton* of clothes.
Of course the squeegee punks were a bit annoying, we dont have anything like
that in Chicago...
