La Foire de Toulouse

Wow, I am exhausted, it may be all the eating or the ongoing coverage of the French weekend Rugby coverage- either way, I wanted to post a few images from the Foire, a fair held in the city where they sell all sorts of direct marketing slicers and dicers, miracle brooms and tile cutters.

But they have food...

Cabbagetown Festival

The Cabbagetown Festival came and went. Basically, if you call rampant capitalism with very little to offer the consumer, then you would call this a festival. Don't get me wrong, people had a great time- just tables of crap for sale, everything all the junk someone keeps in their house (good) to dubious cooked sandwiches and this jerk selling a bike bell that he rang for 8 hours repeatedly (bad).


I just walked around with an old Yashica Twin Lens camera and took some shots, bumped into some friends and got annoyed at the "dragon drum" people as their drumming made the roof of my apartment vibrate in a menacing way, like it was seconds from collapsing Jericho styles.
