Preparations

It's officially under 2 weeks until the wedding! And, man, we have a lot to get done. I've made lists upon lists of things to do, and then I always seem to lose those lists and just go off the top of my head. I guess we'll see what we get accomplished this weekend. At least we've finished the inevitable mess of the seating arrangement. All the table now have "font names" like Cracked or Garamond. We figure it's more fun to announce these names instead of table 1 or table 2. Here's Emma preparing our signs for the highways. We also made our own gift box. DIY weddings are a blast!

This is going to be the best gay bash of the year! Take that Toronto Pride Parade! Really, I'm just saying this so I don't get too upset that we'll be missing it. Plus, the Edmonton Pride Parade always has those couple of protesters that get humiliated by the overwhelming amount of queers that try to hug them. Heh. That's always fun to watch. We'll get to see it all one last time before we head out East. 

Speaking of out East, I've compiled a list (oh, how I love lists) of things that I can't wait to do or try out upon our arrival:

- Good Food Box - Ontario-grown food, organic (if you want), and a variety of fruits and vegetables depending on what's in season.

- Riding my bike or walking pretty much everywhere.

- Never missing a great band because they just don't come to your city (*cough* Patrick Wolf )

- Never missing great movies because they don't play in your city, and then having to order them online just to see them.

- So many great vegan/vegetarian friendly restaurants.

- Records, records, records! And cheap ones at that.

- More than 2 good festivals per year.

- A less insane and bigoted government that the one in Alberta.

- The sheer number of Jesus fish on people's cars is likely to decrease.

- The humidity is bound to do amazing things for my hair and skin. Keep my tattoos from drying out every other day.

- An effective and far-reaching transit system. I'm selling my stupid car as soon as we're settled.

- A city that's not afraid to use graffiti on it's buildings. Here's a perfect example: 

- Hang out with Kelly! And many of the other cool people in Toronto.

- Eat sushi more than twice a month. Here we come cheap sushi buffets!

That's all I can think of at the moment but, trust me, there's many more reasons.
