DAILY SNACK
There is a an empty lot on Dundas Street West, in the Junction,
That has been converted into a sort of town square.
Last night there were tables put out and beer and oysters (not even kidding) being sold,
And volunteers walking around with trays of hors d’oeuvres.
The Starlight Orchestra took the stage and people danced.
It was the opening ceremony of the Junction Arts Festival,
Which is my absolute favourite of favourite street festivals.
It deserves a full-length post, but I do not have full-length time this week.
So in a snack-sized bite: MUSIC, lots of it,
ART on the street and in stores,
DANCE all over the place and that may even include acrobatics,
Impromptu PERFORMANCE ART springing up right on the road.
There’s good food and drink and an absolutely magical atmosphere.
I will be missing it to do the Weekend to End Breast Cancer this year.
But YOU WILL GO and have fun and say hi to my family.

Too bad you won’t be able to check it out. It’s always awesome! You forgot the mention all the neato food stands that pop up with crazy new foods. And the fire trucks always park for the kids to climb through….
Good luck with your marathon though!!
Dude! There’s too much to mention. I could write for days and weeks on the wonderousness of the Junction Arts Festival. I could start an entirely new blog with hourly updates that is only about the Junction Arts Festival. Alas, I have my charity. (I have no idea how that happened . . . so unlike me . . . it must be a good cause.)
But Danielle is right, folks. It is always awesome — don’t miss out.
