art & a pulled pork sandwich

Festivals are my favourite. Not only because they help encourage awareness about whatever they're promoting, but because for a moment in time, a group of people from all walks of life come together to enjoy the exact same thing.

Nuit Blanche makes me happy. I get to experience outlandish things in the name of art, bars have an extended liquor license that keeps them alive and kicking until 4am, and everyone in the city of Toronto, young and old come out to take part in something bigger than the city itself.

Art is the experience. Even if said experience is of pseudo-wrestlers in speedo's and blindfolds trying to maneuver around a steel cage in a choreographed, almost ritualistic, fight to the end.

And festivals have some of the best pulled pork sandwiches on the face of this earth. I don't know how they manage it; but if for nothing else go for the pulled pork sandwich.
