Alright folks, a wee game … from the pictures can you guess some of the places Brent and G spent their long weekend? … (granted, this game is easier for those xangsters living in Toronto).
The prize?…. hmmmm, how about a jar of B&G’s famous homemade blueberry jam?! I’m way too cheap to fork out for a lunch or xanga premium. Secretly, I’m hoping onetonman wins as he’ll never show face to claim his prize hehe

Don’t tell me you were able to take pictures in Ikea… Didn’t they ban photography? :)I also saw the Devil Wears Prada. The same place on Friday. Hmmm, same theatre? Mine was the last show. It was sooo packed.
ryc: I’ll pick the dates and races soon. Looking at the website makes me wanna do the races NOW!I like pic no. 16. Hmm..somehow pic no. 5 is a little too much for my liking.
hmm… nope, i can’t name any of those places, having never stepped foot in toronto before. i do recall seeing 16 on somebody else’s xanga (i think it was onetonman’s), though. and i know what those delicious goodies are in 22, if that counts for anything!
that “model” movie is the stupidest movie ever.
wow…what a wonderful adventure! : ) very nice indeed. and even nicer that you spent it with G.
Hmmm…. I never tried blueberry jam. But why do I feel like I’m being set up? heh heh… can I wear a mask to claim my prize?
i like how you put street art in quotes. btw, i’m very curious as to the photos of food. i always see ppl’s xangas filled with pictures of the food that they’ve eaten at restaurants and i’m curious to know if you guys all go “WAIT HOLD ON I NEED TO GET OUT MY CAMERA” when the waiter/waitress places the dish on the table. i never quite understood that and i’ve also never seen it done at restaurants.
I am lost in Florida. But the pics are beautiful as is the scenery. Know you had a good time.
RYC: Thanks for the lead. I will have to read more.
