Some scenes from Saturday

This weekend, I was triple-booked: a birthday party for my friend Eldon “Gumby” Brown, who’s just returned to Toronto from a number of years in Vangroovy, followed by a mellow Christmas party at Chris’ place, followed by another party thrown by my friends Matt and Brenda. Here are some scenes from the last party of the evening, at 7 Fraser Street, the warehouse loft (a real one, not a “loft-o-minium”) where that most influential of bloggers, Mr. Cory Doctorow, resided before moving to San Fran-scarcity.

Heeeeere’s Grace! Grace is here for a while, so I thought I’d show her about town and introduce her to my friends…

…one of whom is Char. This is a new dress of hers, which she bought so that she could attend the Naked News party. (She doesn’t read on the Naked News, she’s just a friend of one of the news writers.)

Paul, the cat, Grace and Char. Paul’s got the catnip mouse and has the cat’s unidvided attention.

Kim strikes a pose worthy of a Diesel Jeans ad.

DJ Matt breaks into the ’80’s set, starting with The The’s Perfect.

Grace and Char promise to crack your nuts and stuff ’em in their mouths.

Ah, teamwork!

Char tries on my hat.
