You Can Just Wait A Few More Minutes Longer

So, I didn't get Day Three posted over the weekend. Things got busy, so here it is now. You might want to read Day One and Day Two if you haven't already. Saturday I had planned to take V shopping in downtown Toronto. However, we were so tired from being out the night before, we decided to laze about like slugs instead. Eventually we tossed some stuff in a bag for our overnight in the city, and when the babysitter arrived Jack, V, and I headed out to see a movie or go for supper. After discovering that no good movies were playing in the time frame we had, we ended up at a Moxie's for a bite to eat. After we parted ways with Jack, V and I made our way to our hotel room. I had booked something based on price, rather than location, and boy was that a mistake!

We ended up in a part of Toronto that can only be described as, shady. There was no on-site parking at the hotel, so I had to pay $14 bucks for the privilege of parking 3 blocks away. On our walk back to the hotel we saw half a dozen homeless people, at least two prostitutes, and more cracked out people than I care to count.

The mood was totally unenthusiastic while we got ready. I think both of us were tired and a little scared, since we hadn't decided where we were going to go even. Still, we looked hot as ever.

We asked the somewhat strange guy at the front desk where he thought we should go. He rattled off a couple, including one called Madison Avenue Pub, which apparently was frequented by the University crowd. It sounded about right for the mood we were in, so we caught a cab and off we went. According to the cab driver, he's not even allowed to pick up random people in the area we were staying in. He can pick up calls and drop people off, but if someone tries to flag him down on the sidewalk, he will not stop. Nice. There was an impressive line up outside of the pub, but we didn't feel out of place or awkward, so we got in line. It moved quickly, I think we were standing there less than 10 minutes before getting in.

The pub was, in a word, enormous! According to the cute bartender, the capacity of the place is around 1,500 people. Check out the website (I linked to it above) and you can read all about how huge it is. So V and I got drinks and wandered around for a half an hour trying to see it all (we didn't) and then pulled up some stools at one of the 12 bar areas. The bartender was excellent, and after a couple of rounds, and generous tipping on our part, the price of our drinks were discounted, which was quite sweet. No, it wasn't a drink special, since the people next to us were still paying the same price for their drinks.

We chatted to a few people but there didn't seem to be any special connections happening. It occurred to us that waiting to leave when the bar closed would mean around 800 people leaving the bar at the same time. Getting a cab would be impossible. So we cut out a little early, went back to our hotel, ordered pizza, and watched TV. We are Teh Koolist Kids Evah!

Eventually it was time for sleep, and so to bed we went, in our clothes because we didn't want to brave the questionable bedding. Plus we couldn't find the thermostat and it was cold in the room. At 15 minutes before check-out we rolled out of bed, grabbed our shit, and got the hell out of there. It was a beautiful day, which made the neighbourhood look less menacing. We headed for home and spent the day with Jack and the kids. We rented some movies and made total asses out of ourselves in a Shoppers Drug Mart, by carrying on loudly and talking about hemorrhoid creams and corn removers. The girl at the checkout begged us to stay until her shift was over because she was bored and thought we were hilarious. Monday was more relaxing and hanging out with the family. V and I took the kids to the park and played in the leaves. We chased squirrels and generally had a great time. I was a little sad to take her to the airport on Monday night. However, we made grand plans for when she moves out here (we are going to take belly dancing lessons and ride our bikes to the Farmer's Market for groceries in the summer time). I really cannot wait for her to move here. I wish she was moving NOW! We had a great time, hopefully enough to tide us over until New Years Eve, which is the next time we will see each other. I miss her already. December 31st can't come soon enough.
