nuit blanched

it blew! it really did! i dunno if it’s cos we were on the wrong side of town or what but holy underwhelming. so glad i put off doing more work for it ha. handed out NO fliers for my show. but steph and i still had fun, matt had his brother with us for a bit and they are exactly alike i was like there is only room enough for one matt in this town, well in my immediate vicinity really. we went to the library pub for poutine and beers to de-crabby my pants and the cook had just quit that nite, so we had popcorn instead and one of those huge skid beers, but could not stop thinking about poutine.

in other news i paid for some glamour shots for fil and cid.

nuit blanche photos on the way omfg i have so much to do today i am going to explode.

me at the height of my crabby.

unrelated to nuit blanche here is a video of steph drunk and belligerent trying wii fit, matt is passed out cold on the couch while i document all of it and cannot even make words happen other than duuuuuuude and my stupid old man laugh.

ok back to nb…

walking to the first shitty installation.

oh look here it is already.

can i buy that entire thing and put it on the balcony? no? ok then what is the point of all that work? don’t tell me it’s to create discussion, pass.

exactly.

installation 2, a bunch of subarus parked in a snakey line all around the buildings, lit up inside with junk, wasn’t even finished when we showed up. fil could have been a part of it with his car hahaha.

i’m certain the creator has some sort of higher meaning for all of it, man’s dependency on uh, buildings and um?

then immediately beside it a checkerboard dancefloor and slow dance, how, uh, relevant, especially the old timey french music and the christmas outfit.

if you have missed attending any nuit blanche let me sum it up for you, all you need is a spotlight, and then some garbage to dangle above it, aim the beam at a wall, blast some obscure music with people’s voices rambling incoherently over it simultaneously. congratulations you are an artist and you were just granted permission for an installation for next year, you’re welcome. bonus points if you have a fog machine and a mask.

yuh-awn.

actually no this was the height of my crabby.

underwhelming zombies.

the people not in zombie garb were more interesting and funny i found, they tapped this guy on the shoulder and he turned and they acted like they didn’t. also, zombies have cellphones and use them, who knew?
