Change of scenery

I'm leaving Edmonton for 6 weeks, to see if I can work better somewhere else. I think I probably can, since the somewhere else looks like this:

Catching Up

Went to Roast (hat tip: AMT) to catch up with Chris + Olivia now that they're back in town. The cafe is palatial and just about as fancy as the braising on this green-tea latte.

Unreasonable

Naomi (bartender at Garneau): What's your last name?
Me:
Naomi: You're Philip ?
Me: Yes?
Naomi: You used to live at

.

Me: Yee..eees???
Naomi: I have a letter for you. Wait here.
[5 minutes pass]
Naomi: Here it is. I found you on Facebook and tried to get it back to you!
Me: Wait! You're Naomi ? When I went to the house to get it, nobody knew what I was talking about!
Naomi: Yeah, sorry, that was my roommate.  The letter looked so intense, I... we opened it. It had a wax seal! We waited so long to open it! We read it many times. We read it in different accents. When people came to the house, we said "you want to see something cool?" and we read it to them. I have read this letter so many times. Pippa will be excited to meet you.
Me:.... ..... ..... ................ I'll be here again.

The Beautiful Lady Faces

Got invited to a tasty BBQ for Labour Daybour! Chez one Mr. Wong, owner of the bistro! The Beautiful Lady Faces and I had some time to kill with photos while we waited for the bistro to close.

YYC/AMT

Went to the Laurier Lounge for brunch, which was Wilfrid Laurier themed in that the menus came covered with contemporary newspaper articles critical of his policies. Then AMT and I went to pick up travel legend Elizabeth at the YYC. AMT is shown here disapproving of how they represent our infrastructure.

More Farewells

The month of farewells continues with Curtis - shown here forging a knife blade on his actual anvil - and Heather's Dance-us-Down-Under party. So much good dancing.

SPACE NAZIS

... Secret Moon Nazis, to be exact. Iron Sky was the kind of movie that could only be created by the internet. No, wait, the kind of movie that could only be done right by the internet.
