Hey SE++! Who wants to have a good time in Toronto tonight? Because Nuit Blanche is back and shutting down the streets with all kinds of art and junk! (also, sex joke)

I've been a few times and it's always fun. People flood the streets and look at crazy art of all varieties.

I'd make a better OP but I'm about to get on a bus to Toronto in a couple minutes. So here's the website.

http://www.scotiabanknuitblanche.ca/

If you're checking it out, maybe we could meet up. Message me if you wanna, I should be able to check later today. If not, have fun with another (hopefully) awesome all night art fest!

    Turns out Toronto isn't as far away as I thought. It's not even a 10 hour drive.

    Nuit Blanche doesn't just have art it also has Videogames! several Toronto indie game developers (including myself) have set up an indie game arcade at the TIFF Bell Lightbox building with retrofitted arcade cabinets. The games include Osmos, Everyday Shooter, N+, my own Cephalopod's Co-op Cottage Defence and several others. Many of these are unique versions tweaked to work in an arcade setting made just for this event. We're listed in the booklet in Section C under Arcadian Renaissance. Come out and play games!

    Complete listing of games and more info here: http://handeyesociety.com/tag/arcadian-renaissance/

    The cabinets currently hidden under a tarp at the Lightbox, can't wait to unwrap them tonight!

    Actually today I have the retardation that is known as "In-Port manning" and have to stay on the goddamn ship in Puerto Vallarta, just looking out at the awesome.

    But starting the day after tomorrow I have off in ports pretty much every port for a while, and we have ports every day.

    That's going to be awesome.

    Well that was underwhelming. I didn't look up where anything was, and happened across very little art. Though I saw an improv group that was pretty good, and met up with some friends.

    Anybody see anything awesome?
