a thing or two

1) Next Thursday I'm meeting up with my sweet cat friends for dinner on Cambie. I wanted to start going weekly to the various businesses that are still open along the stupid Skytrain (underground... sky... ?) construction, but haven't been able to get over very much. But, starting this week, there is a very, very good reason to go.

Dadeo just opened at 17th, where Tomato used to be. Thank cripes places from Edmonton are making their way westward. What would Vancouver be without Gravity Pope? Aside from shoeless, I mean. It would be more uncool. If only more of my favourite places would transplant here.

I can't stop thinking about the blackened catfish po'boy. Neal, also a transplant from Edmonton (well, Spruce Grove), was so excited he almost signed up with Facebook to draw me graffiti (he wound up hacking into Nicola's account anyway) to inform me it's open. Collectively, I suspect we might be the most excited people in the city*.

2) Justice is hitting town on October 13th and I'm SO FRICKIN' EXCITED!!! I'm going to look into tickets tomorrow when I pick up my Spoon ticket. Dancing shows are rad. Those French electronic duos... It's hard not to love them. Will make up for missing Air.

*I need to fixate on the little things to help me avoid thinking of the upcoming/ongoing big things that make me insane with worry.
