Don’t let it bring you down: Nuit Blanche 2009

So I managed to make most of my must-catch exhibits, and waiting till after 1 to go out helped, but I really should have just waited till after last call. This was the first time I did “Zone A” and while it would be easy to complain about all the idiots/jerks/whathaveyou out for the night, basically getting blasted, yelling at the top of their lungs and making fun of projects, I decided to stay positive and enjoyed myself, without getting too mushed in human traffic along the way. Here’s a few of my photos of the exhibits I saw.

Wasted Breath: Awesome. I don’t think those who were wandering by noticed they were moving.

No: Yes.

Bay street midway: Popular, probably because it was a ride. The Seven Eleven nearby also had quite the draw.

Monopoly with real money: Nice, concept, but hard to watch for more than 5 minutes.

Lights at city hall: Probably the biggest and best of the night.

Big inflated silver bunny: Hopefully less of this next year.

Steel cage match at the bus terminal: Nice setup, lame wrestling.

Random band in the atrium: Noise, but a welcome break.

Massey Hall: Wonderful, but it must be so tiring for the performers.

The moon: Perfection.

Mercy and sausage: Wonderful way to end the evening out in Liberty village.

After getting home around 7 and sleeping to noon, I’m feeling pretty off, but overall it was a great night, and I’m looking forward to next year! If you want to weigh in with what you saw, leave a comment!
