canada.

last week i visited canada. i performed in a large-scale spectacle created to celebrate the opening of a casino ballroom. for my small part in this event, i walked on stilts inside an iron skirt/cage holding various hors d'oeuvres while the high rollers of the casino imbibed to their heart's content.

you know...the usual.

i got to spend the majority of my visit with two friends and we made quite a mini-vacation out of it. we had some hotel pool/sauna/steam room time, drank canadian beer (see digi-pic), and relaxed. it was a fine getaway.

i also learned a few things about canada.

a list!

what i learned in canada:
-the people are really nice.
-molson canadian is a pretty good beer.
-trucks will try to run you down/no pedestrian is truly safe.
-the money is much prettier.
-canada's favorite city is chicago.

had i been there for more that three days, i would've learned much more...alas...so is the life of a stilt-walking, beer-drinking wanderer of the world.
