#ParallelUniverse #EvenThatsUnlikely
Last night I attended the VIP kickoff party for the 16th annual CONTACT Photography Event at MOCCA – the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art.
It’s brought to you by Scotiabank (who support the arts more than any other Canadian bank, neat eh).
1000 artists, 200 venues, and an audience of 1.8 million
I like their blurred out faces.
The resolution is ridiculous on these prints in real life.
Look for CONTACT stuff around town all May.
This is the one guys, I cracked it… the subject and the format, the passion I have for this subject, the timing, and and and.
I am SO excited.
Screen shots from the intro.
Screen shots from the ‘DEF CON 19 Interview Series’ videos.
Video topics, things you’ll be learning to do.
It’s a big topic I’ve chosen, online security… tweeted this yesterday:
Good thing I like a challenge, game on.
I’ll keep you posted, going back to editing the intro now.
A big warm hello! Look no jacket or boots yesss.
Found this place en route to Myrtle Beach, my first stop on my ‘Escaping the Winter’ tour.
South of the Border – America’s Favoutite Highway Oasis since 1949.
It’s filled with tacky souvenir shops like this, the kind I love.
I never buy anything (I just got rid of everything, remember?) but just like to look and laugh.
Things made funny by giant-ism.
Paper mache animals everywhere.
Something I like to think is: this is someone’s job and business to make them.
- What do you do?
- Oh I make giant animals. No, really.
Haha.
Boy do I love it here.
TTYT!
I was ahead of schedule (YES to my meticulousness), car packed up, far too excited to sleep, so I set off Thursday evening.
Then nah.
Let’s turn around and head back to Toronto.
Change in plans, let’s fly instead.
And that’s why I don’t have my trunk with me. Despite talking incessantly about it for 3 months. I love that trunk, I even made it its own blog catagory.
Ahhh the best laid plans.
So I took it to my storage unit, hauled it out of my car myself (I. Am. A. Beast).
Re-packed and reduced everything to two suitcases and a backpack.
Last adjustments Saturday morning.
And I’m off! Tweeted this photo to commemorate.
I always board last, I’ve mentioned this before. I don’t understand lining up to be first… you’re just going to have to sit there longer?!
Good things can happen when you board last… that’s how I got bumped up to First Class flying home from Alberta last week.
True story:
I have a lot of blog girl gear.
Changed planes. The Detroit airport is huuuge.
Taken just before initial descent, that’s how huge because I am high up.
Good airport advice:
Back up in the sky.
If you see that view in real life and if it doesn’t move you, you’re dead inside.
And I arrived!
Yes that’s McDonald’s, I went directly there off the plane. I’m predictable that way.
I’m pumped to share my trip with you!!
I have to figure out internet here, which I’m en route to do soon as I hit publish on this post.
TTYS
