I got back from Ottawa on Sunday but I'm so lazy I didn't feel like updating!
Ottawa was sooo good. A little sketchy on some parts, I've come to the conclusion that I don't necessarily like that city. It feels really cold and unfriendly. But everything I did was such a sweet experience. There were improv workshops every single day, sometimes twice a day! The best one was 'taking it to the streets' where you perform improv on the streets, inducing strangers into your scenes without them realizing what's happening! We also woke up really early one morning, it was really sunny out and the Parliament building was really close so we walked there and did improv on the steps. Tourists walked by and filmed us and it was sweet!
There was a Yuk Yuk's comedy club attatched to our hotel so that's where we went on Friday night. I got all sexy'd up for real, I felt super awesome. The comedians were really fucking funny, which I kind of wasn't expecting. I bumped into the headlining comedian the next day shopping! So we discussed Humber's Comedy program and future prospects and he was a super sweet dude. He gave me his 'card' and will give me a heads up when he's in Nova Scotia. Also, we should be getting a Yuk Yuk's soon!
One day every single team (we were all staying at the same hotel) all went out on their balconies. It was totally random, everyone was just outside at the same time. It sounded like fucking mardi gras! We chanted the CIG oath and people stopped on the street to take pictures. But then the cops came because apparently it was a "major public disturbance". Didn't see that one coming!
I spent my last few nights in the hotel with gorgeous fellows from all over the world. Their boarding school was closed for the weekend so they got a room a floor above mine and partied all weekend. It was really random but I'm glad I met them. They covered Paris, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Poland, Nunavut and Greece! They were all very attractive, I was into it.
On the last night of the finals everyone headed over to Club SAW for a night long fuck-yeah dance party! It was so much sweaty fun. A perfect way to end the week. Everyone stayed up all night because we all had early morning flights the next day. In which I had an anxiety attack on because apparently planes scare the shit out of me. I'd never been on one before this week.
I went shopping lots and got some really great stuff. I ate so much good food! all of my monies is gone, now I have to start from scratch to fund for New York in a few months!
Travelling is wicked sweet! Improv is wicked sweet! Dudes are wicked sweet!
YEEAHHH RRAAAAAVE TIME SATURDAY!!
