Fucking worth every penny. It would have been even better if I weren't so shy. I blame it on the lack of vodka. I'm too neurotic to go to a city I've only been to half a dozen time, to an event full of people I never met before by myself. regardless I did get to meet a bunch of cool new people and I now know that the world is safe from water bottles. Thank you little karate kids! Oh and plus I got to see a wonderful set of boobs all day.
It was pretty funny. There was a pretty good perimeter that people kept around us. They acted like they never saw a 150 modified people in one area before. The only people that went near us were the karate kids and their parents. They gave us free food. It was cool, they fed and entertained us! At the beginning when it was only like 10 of us we had a blast watching them attack that tree. Plus there was this like 26 year old red belt guy in the 10 year old class. Reminded me of the episode when Kramer takes karate. "We're all at the same level."
Me: "You know it's sad, they're like 10 and I'm sure each and everyone of them could kick my ass. Except maybe the white belts, I could take them."
Girl: "There are more of us than them, i'm sure we could take them."
Me: "Oh yeah that'd look good. "Tattooed and pierced people beat up children in High Park" ... Let's do it"
Guy: "It looses it's edge when the sensi is a bald white guy. Doesn't seem like real karate."
Me: "All I've seen him do is yell at 10 year olds. I doubt his skills."
Guy: "He just round house kicked the water bottle off the tree stump. I think he did it to prove you wrong."
Everyone: "All I want to see are the kids sparring. It's cool to watch kids kick each other's asses."
The night event was awesome. I regret that I had to leave early but I didn't want to spend a fortune on a taxi ride home. I did get to see a lot of cool shit and hear a cool band. My Flea Circus (not The Flea Circus as the shirts would have you believe)are really nice people (offered me a ride back to my hotel). I'm definitely going to buy their CD. The great Orbax, Pretty Polly and the bleeding man (suspended himself from his knees and was swinging around. Fucking awesome!) AND a burlesque show. Wicked!
It was nice to sleep once I got back to the hotel at 1am (seeing as I was up since 4am) but I kept on being woken up by people that can't control their fucking kids. You DO NOT let your kids run around a hotel and scream EVER, let alone at 8am.
I also ended up getting lost in downtown Toronto at 12:30 at night. I'm not good with subway systems or bus systems with more than 8 busses. It's all good, I eventually flagged down a cab and got back to the hotel safely.

Okay neighbors from the North. In one week I'm travelling to Dorset, specifically Lake Kawagama for days on end of mountain biking. What else is there to do? If nothing, I'll just keep pedaling.
