summer, part II: events


Extermination Dawn

A day outdoors would have been more than sufficient with the wonderful 2nd Annual ALL CAPS park show on saturday, which was bigger and better than last year. I hope it's something I'll take my kids to one day (a very long time from now).

A night at an alternative venue might have been more than efficient with the Radius & Helena show at Cinecycle, which is arguably Toronto's best small venue for shows.

How about combining the two?

That happened even later on, with Extermination Night, which re-appeared once again, this time at Jackson's Point, at the very tip of Leslie Spit, which appears to be the Southernmost point of Toronto, just passing Centre Island(!). Accessible only on foot or by bike, the trip down after Cinecycle was long (but thankfully fuelled with fresh doses of caffeine), and very worth it. Nothing comes close to matching the aesthetic and envrionment of Extermination, and the hardy dozens that trekked out (and the LONG ride home) were not disappointed.
