Things I Made and Saw: Jazz Festival/Nuit Blanche Edition

This was a busy week for me --last days of work, orientation for my program, looking for a part-time job and generally trying to stay sane. I was a little apprehensive about the Guelph Jazz Festival and Nuit Blanche being on this weekend, since I got little to no sleep over 4 days last year, with setup, the actual event and tear down, since the festival basically happens outside the window of my apartment. Anyways there were lots of fun things on for both events (here and here) and I managed to get to a few and have a bit of fun:)

Started out the night at Red Brick for some much needed coffee and to check out some alley/patio jazz

Musics!

Pretty mural by Ballyhoo media 

Lots of people out

Then headed off to check out the food and tent o' music

This bus was painted really neatly





I got some tasty samosas



Caught a bit of the Minotaurs set



Moved on to see some other exhibits -- I found these sculptures really neat



Peeked into the windows of Ballyhoomedia's exhibit--amazing what you can do with an Iphone and a projector



Neat exhibit at the Via Rail station





There was a band playing on the roof of Planet Bean--sadly they were not anywhere as good as The Beatles



Some people climbed up on the roof and threw down streamers of VHS tape





These were tacked to random trees and poles





More sculptures







I always get distracted by architecture



Quick glimpse of a witch --she was a power walker!



Silent Dance Party --everyone had headphones and radios and could pick which DJ they wanted to dance to



I enjoyed this film with musical accompaniment at the Bookshelf



This photo I think was supposed to show the person behind getting a back massage on a table in the street :P



There was a bit of an impromptu dance party on the street near the fountain
