The irony was that the show I was so looking forward to I had to miss (too many things going on at once). So no Leonard Cohen Songbook for me this year. But the Stephen Sondheim tribute more than made up for it. I also got to see Lorraine Segato (full concert & snippets of her second show), a bit of the Anais Project, a little Murray McLauchlan, a touch of Sharron Matthews (she's amazing, half chanteuse, half comedienne, & one of the nicest people you could hope to meet). & I had a lot of fun trying to explain to people that there were no Nuit Blanche exhibits to be seen & that this was a ticketed event. Even more fun was trying to explain to patrons waiting to see concerts that the folks who wandered in wearing pillows sewn to their toques & folks enveloped in bubble wrap were part of Nuit Blanche, not some avant garde concert going experience. :lolsign: Still, it was better than the folks who had to carry a very long banner round all the buildings outside in the cold (I counted three times round before I went off to do other things). Gotta love Saturday night in the city. :)
A couple of highlights for me (couldn`t find an accoustic version of Rise Up, you`ll have to use your imaginations ;)).
