Pretty much. I couldn't find the book. Found one thing I liked which was posted here on tribe. Getting over the flu and much better but very tired. I was dying to take out my new baby for a spin (camera), but the lack of information has left me, and quite a few other friends, uninspired. As we have no idea what to do, and have nothing to inspire us..(and most of us are recuperating), we're staying in for the night.
I blame it all on G. She's not here to organize it properly

I saw that too and thought, 'Haven't they done that already?'. It could be good. Who knows.
Good idea! Let's blame it on G, off gallivanting while we suffer
Exactly! How dare she..

Started at 10 pm at Young and Dundas. The crowd was so frighteningly large that we aborted Nuite Blanche and wandered in the opposite direction. It was scary.
On another note... Sherborne Commons at night is breathtaking! It was so awesome to watch them unload piles of sugar at night. They did an amazing job with the lighting on the cranes.

HAHAHAHAHA.... I came in here after a long hiatus to see if there was any buzz. Sorry to have let you down ladies!
But yeah, house music festivals in Spain, road trips in Wales, big nights out in Birmingham and my move to Florence in two days has prevented me from spreading the Nuit Blanche love. Maybe next year!
I went back at around 5 a.m. after the crowds died down.
They penned up about ten dancing kids in candy gear in a loading dock for people to watch from above. Spectators were astonished that these kids were dancing all night. The kids looked like death.

I would have liked to have seen Slavoj Zizek's talk, but I was tied up at an awesome house party
EPIC house party!
Nuit Blanche rocked for me, and I never left my property. So much fun!

the bike was a good call, but also made it too easy for me to keep riding and not really see anything from 8pm to 11pm.
as my cold and sore throat progressed, and a little lineup outside wrongbar for John Talabot, I decided to ride home by midnight. i'm taking donations for a new set of bibs and a high chair.
and what was going on at nathan philips square? i only saw a few circular video screens, and that was it. were people going indoors?

i worked 14 hours yesterday during all of this bullshit that was going on.
Split between oktoberfest at steamwhistle (fucking retards constantly smashing the 1l steins together, oh and one dumb bitch that thought it was a good idea to climb on top of one of the trains on display outside, and promptly falling and smashing her face on the ground. Thanks you drunk cunt. Don't climb shit in heels you dumb bitch), and then going to my other job bouncing at a bar til 4am dealing with all the sketchbags trying to get in at that time of the night when all i want to do is go the fuck home.
fuck. everyone.
thanks for making my night a living hell everyone!!!!!

The crowd was insane! I've never seen it that large.. Yonge and Dundas was nuts!
It was full of teenagers.. I also saw a 14/16'ish year old boy puke all over one of the exhibits.
I liked the improv (cityplus) in metro hall. That was awesome.
I also saw the zombie reel which was great!
other then that Nuit Blanche sucked.. im just going to stay in next year.

I wound up having great fun: got off the subway at the north Queen street exit sometime after midnight, came out on the street and just let myself wander.
This very twitchy woman got off where I did; at Bloor she was pacing a bit waiting for the subway and occasionally turning around to face the rest of the passengers, wearing a transparent top that very much showcased her nipples. I don't think she got as much reaction as she had hoped.
On the street, they did have booths with maps, but they were pretty useless without my glasses
Walked down Yonge to Adelaide or so, just enjoyed the night; somehow missed that exhibit that was the giant corner store doling out mini-lanterns. Walked up Bay and hit the Funhouse, which was great: a guy on stilts, a heroine type chickie screaming, screens ribbons, lights, mayhem, very carnivalesque; you could line up for a little "ride" in a small car, but I didn't really have the patience for that.
The walk back up Bay to Nathan Philips square was all fun. On the square itself, the piece with the six round spots changing images was quite stunning, the sounds going with it and the way some of the light reflected back. This is actually the kind of piece that makes Nuit Blanche worthwhile.
Also caught in part of the garage the Obsolescence display, part of the end of the world themed stuff and quite liked it. The line-up for the Museum for the End of the World was over an hour, so I bailed on that, and walked along Queen.
As soon as I crossed University (where some impromptu music party was happening on the median, the crowd changed a fair bit; looked like a lot of kids had gone to the one mall to get dressed and all come together.
At Second Cup as I was waiting for a hot chocolate, an amazon looking babe with a short shorts and raver furry boots grabbed my arm on the way out and said "YOU are art!", which was worth a smile.
Walked over to Spadina, no streetcar; went up Spadina, no bus. No cabs or streetcars at Dundas. Wound up walking all the way to Beaconsfield where the Day and Night party was still in full swing with Alphonse spinning a killer set.
All kinds of familiar faces there, which was nice after all that traipsing. New ones too and great dance energy, much needed at that point.
So all in a all a limited Nuit Blanche but very pleasant one.

how about "go fuck yourself" after standing for 14 hours straight last night?
talk to me about my attitude about that after you do that type of shit.
oh and btw.. i aint breathing today. Been drinking... FINALLY.
Agreed.
The crowd in front of it was also entertaining. There was a large group of people in a pile, just laying there and laughing uncontrollably for 15-20 minutes.
