this neighborhood though
Peter and I helped take tickets at a fundraiser for Aurora House this evening, which was diverting for the time we were there at least. Our shift was the hour before the first band began, and we left shortly afterwards, because all of the food at the Gladstone, which was hosting the event, was of the fancy-and-pricy variety. (To be honest, any place that asks more than $20 for most of their entrees falls into that category for me.) But as I said, it was fun while it lasted: I crossed ticket holders' names off the list as they came in, and stamped people's hands (with a kitty paw print stamp). Additionally, the general population of the Gladstone seems to run towards well-groomed thirty-something men, so even when I wasn't taking tickets I could, ah, people-watch.
Peter asserts that Toronto has a higher-than-average percentage of good looking human beings, though I think his numbers are skewed because we live on the side of town where "young professionals" prowl after work or working out or whatever it is they all do to constantly look lean and well-dressed.
Anyway, we quit that scene early and then went to a Tibetan place for dinner, and if it had fewer good looking people, it was quieter and definitely had delicious -- yet affordable! -- food.
And now it's after midnight. Whoops
