Sorry!
OK, I realize that I'm horrifically behind on my blogging, but I got busy! This is good news, since in many ways I've been less than busy while I got my footing.
On Thursday (a week ago) I woke up early to prepare for the arrival of my FAMILY!! I got a pedicure, and walked Queen Street West. Toronto-ans (is that correct?) describe this street as a kind of Haight-Ashbury shopping mecca. I think they're kind of being cute. It's basically a street that kind of reminded me of Korea! You know, cute boutiques, coffee shops, chain shops... plus some punky street people sitting on the ground and playing music. Add in a few stands selling silver body jewelry and bongs, and it felt a little like a clean East Village. Regardless, it was fun to wander. I cleaned my whole apartment so my parents wouldn't think I was messy, although now they'll know the truth. Then on Thursday night I did the show, and then went out with some friends for a bit.
On Friday, my family arrived!!!! It included my parents, sister, uncle Dave and aunt Lynn, and cousins Annie and Daniel. It was quite a group! My parents and sister were staying with me, which was one of the reasons for all the cleaning. Friday night after the show, most of the group met me at the stage door (even though they hadn't seen the show yet) and we all went to Alice Fazooli's to eat. It was great to see them! Of course they're all exhausted at night when I'm raring to go, but we made it work. On Saturday and Sunday while I worked they sight saw -- and I must say it was impressive how much they got done. We met for meals in between shows, and I got to get their opinions on Saturday night after the show. I think overall everyone had a good time, and of course, since they're family, they only had nice things to say about the performances.
On Sunday morning, Katherine and the extended family unfortunately had to head out of town. But my parents were still here on Sunday night so we decided to head to the "Historic CN TOWER", currently the tallest freestanding structure in the WORLD! We ate dinner at 360, the revolving restaurant, and then checked out the sights. I must say it was gorgeous to see the city as the sun set, with the water and the beautiful islands south of the harbor. I only wish I had done it sooner, since it really helped me get my Toronto bearings!
My parents and I finished the night with The Tony's! An old friend of mine from high school was actually performing, so we rushed home to catch it. I love the fact that as I get older and more established in the business, and meet more people... I actually know people on the Tony's! I like to picture myself up there someday, with all my closest friends around me.
OK, I'll keep filling in soon, but right now I've got to pack. DC TOMORROW!!! I can't wait to be back in America!!
