Off to the Folk Fest and then on to T.O.

Today is the first day of the Calgary Folk Festival; tonight (Thursday) is just a four-act lineup on the mainstage, but sadly it’s all we’ll get to see of this one. That’s because we’re off to Toronto for the wedding of our friends Lilla and Steve. L and S were among the handful of friends (no relatives, but we weren’t really aggressive in our invitations) who showed up to ours, August 8, 2003, so we’re honouring them with our presence for theirs. It’s on the Toronto Island(s) (Algonquin Island Clubhouse), which is the best place for photographs of the skyline, so look for one or two of those.

So we’re missing one happy occasion for another, and so it goes. On the stage tonight are, among others, City and Colour, and the headliner, Rufus Wainwright. Should be great, but I am sad to be missing The Cape May and Final Fantasy. But there’ll be other opportunities.

So the concert folds at 10:00-ish and we have to be up around 4:30 for out flight- it’s 4:10 in the afternoon now, gates open in 20 minutes and I have to finish packing- so blog ya later, folks!
