This Is The Most Public of My Many Humiliations
Wednesday, June 29, 2005
So after I spent a few hours taking pictures at the parade on Sunday, I decided to Goto this concert my friends were at.
Modest Mouse, Metric, and Broken Social Scene were there just to name a few, i was really stoned at the time but i am pretty sure AOH took the stage with Broken Social. Metric stole the show, as i was expecting. It was on Toronto Island, where I had never been before. Quite a cool venue, directly across from the CN Tower I took a few nice pics that day. But I need to crop them and fix them up to make em look pretty.
While being on the island, some questions were raised in my mind, these questions being about Wakestock. The ferry can only handle so many people per hour/per day. I can see this being a big problem for the up coming Wakestock event. Looking at the line up of people waiting to leave the island as I arrived really got me thinking as to a solution for this problem.
Though this "solution" is a work in progress I think some of my ideas may work.
But most of them (like building a raft for myself to get me and my camera equipment across) will not work, as I don't think that private boats will be able to dock at the island. My other idea involved a helicopter, 2 midgets and a goat. I think that was more of a fantasy then a idea to get myself over to the island.
Here are the logistics of the matter. There will be probably 100,000 people that want to watch the men's finals on Sunday of the event. The problem is that, the ferries can only transport about 35,000 a day. Im not sure if they over looked this problem in original planning, or if they already have it solved and I am totally out of the loop.
Pride was amazing, and I will be using pictures from that day and the concert for the next week or so. I am going to send some pics I took to the bands that were performing cause well, I kinda snuck into the media area and took some great shots.
My internet is going down, all the time, it goes up, then down then up then down. this is why my posts are few and far between. I swear it goes up and down more then pee wee hermans hand in a movie theater.
