Off to Toronto later today to catch Keith Urban in concert. No front row seats this time (boooooo!) but it should be a great time anyway. Keith is a consummate performer. When he is playing his guitar, it's clear that there is no place else he would rather be. He closes his eyes and you know the crowd fades away, the music hums through his fingertips and you can see that he is riding the perpetual high of doing something that he truly loves with the added bonus of being able to make a comfortable living, is there anything more satisfying?
The International Film Festival is in Toronto as well (along with a bunch of A-list celebrities) so I'm guessing we will have to go fairly early to make sure we can beat the crowds and get around okay. I've always wanted to see a TIFF screening, but I'm not fussy on the pomp and circumstance that surrounds these things. (Like I care what someone is wearing or what party they attend) No thanks. If you want to impress me, show me a thought-provoking movie with a solid story and memorable performances. Hold the glitz.
Monday night, I'm back in Hamilton for the Canadian Country Music Awards. On the fence about this one. Not sure what to expect. Might be completely bored by the award presentations, or might love all of the live performances. Who knows. Floor seats that are general admission could make it interesting as it's first come/first serve and if we end up at the back of the floor, we'll pretty much see nothing. There's been a party vibe in town all week as they have lots of "lead up" events that are creating a real buzz. Anyway, it will be an experience and of course, we got the tickets for free, so it's all good.
