Thanksgiving weekend is almost upon us and I actually have plans this year! Big smiles all around. As well for:
♥ Last Thursday, Slam UBC had its first poetry slam of the year at Simply French Café on West 10th and Alma (a unique little place run by a delightful family). Music + spoken word + hot chocolate = love.
♥ There’s a single golden tree outside my window that is slowly ripening into its full fire. (Mixed metaphors for the win.)
♥ Over the summer, I was at the Vancouver Art Gallery with a friend and was given a promo to the Keg ($40 steak meal for 2). My brother and I ran off to use it on Monday. Hurray for unexpected deals!
♥ Speaking of the Vancouver Art Gallery, Tuesday evening entry by donations are the way to go for poor, scrimping students (5-9 pm).
♥ While I’m not a fan of Safeway produce, I do enjoy their Customer Appreciation Days on the first Tuesday of every month (10% off all purchases of $35 or more). Hello, 5kg bag of flour for $5!
♥ This is one of my favourite pictures. The coolest thing is that I once saw an alley in Dieppe, France, that was a bit like this (though not as awesome), with hoops and toys and random things strung out along lines above the courtyard.
