Current Mood:  nostalgic
EBM Fest was on last night in Toronto. Bands playing were, Urceus Exit, Individual Totem, Iris, Apoptygma Berzerk and Encephalon.
What made this night special was that I FINALLY got to see Apoptygma Berzerk. Ever since the late 90's, I have had 3 bands I HAD to see! Covenant, VNV Nation and Apoptygma Berzerk. In the late 90's I had seen Covenant and VNV Nation fairly quickly....but Apoptygma Berzerk never quite made it to Canada..at least not to Toronto or not at a time when I could go see them. SO FINALLY! I got to see them last night. The triumverate (is that a word?) is complete! AND thrown in for a bonus I got to see Individual Totem, which is another band that is still managing to release good music after all the others have dwindled.
The night was even more special because almost all the people that I used to club with were at EBM Fest! So it felt like the old times, clubbing with the friends, staying up too late...sigh. We made it home at around 3 am and I managed to wake up at 10:30 without a headache! Yay!
Anyway, one more week and it's TIFF! (Toronto International Film Festival). I wonder if I'll get to see any movie stars. We're going at weird times. The film festival opens Sept 11 and our first movie is Sun. Sept 13, then 2 on Thurs. Sept 17, and 2 more on Sat. Sept 19 (which is the last day of the festival). I'm torn between going to Toronto on the first weekend of the festival or going climbing (yes, I started climbing and I've torn up my hands pretty good!)
