blue_lotus13I had a great weekend. I spent Friday having lunch and visiting with a friend from Vancouver that I hadn't seen in a long time. That evening, I walked down to the movie store and ended up running into two poet friends. We went for gelato together, which was pretty awesome. I then came home and watched "She's just not that into you." I enjoyed some parts of it, while other parts made me want to tear my hair out. All women want to get married! Chasing after married men is acceptable! (Ugh)
Saturday morning I had an all day reiki training seminar. This went extremely well. I spent the whole day giving and receiving reiki and went into a very deep state of trance when it was my turn on the table. Following this, I went to a bar to meet up with my friend Anique who is an accomplished folsinger who I've known since Saskatoon and Montreal. She was playing a show with some Edmonton based musicians and so I met a bunch of people and spoke in French with them despite my tiredness and reiki buzz. Anique is a great performer and I loved that I got to see her.
On Sunday, I went to get Mari and go to a local park to see a cultural extravaganza. That's Edmonton for you was a rock opera featuring seven of the city's local musicians. The event was funded by the ICLEI, an international sustainability conference that was taking place in the city at the same time. The rock supergroup, which featured members of local bands, performed 7 original songs about the city of Edmonton. The entire show can be streamed or downloaded for free off the website. It was a great idea, and brought over 2,000 people out. Success!!
Following this, I recovered from the sun and then went to my friend Leah's to eat kebabs. A nice end to the weekend.
