Bicycle Art Show at Studio Gallery

This past Thursday I had the pleasure of attending an art show put on by two of my old friends Avery and Vanessa of Studio Gallery and Agency.
As part of the Bicycle Film Festival, the show celebrated our favorite way to get around the city. The piece above is done by an extremely interesting guy named Ben Schumacher, who posts his work on his awsome blog.
Here's Nick Fox and me in front of the piece he did for the show. Nick helped me out with a lot of the Northern Yonge branding, and we ate tons of vietnamese food while he worked with Studio Agency on some web design projects.
One of my favorite favorite people in the world, Mathieu, AKA Ndeur, and me in front of the piece he did for the show. Mathieu is establishing himself as one of the most accomplished young designers/artists around. His customized pumps and vintage heels are driving the buzz but just you wait until this guy can unleash his full creative energy: this guy paints, draws, designs websites, makes furniture, clothing, anything and everything.

Here we are, Mr. Ben Schumacher and me standing in front of one of his photographs which was shown at Studio Gallery. Nuff said.

Leonard Cohen Live in Toronto: Alternate Title: Leonard taught me how to love.

Last night I had the distinct pleasure of attending one of Leonard Cohen's last performances at the center formerly known as hummingbird.The tickets were pretty expensive, but he played for three hours, which ain't bad for a guy who's last concert was 15 years ago (when he was 60).
At the end of his second set (before the encore), we threw him red roses. He was nice enough to pick them up and sing a song with them.
He might be old, he might be frail, but he's still amazing.

There's no need for me to say that last night was pretty tight.

And here's a special treat.
