A few weekends ago, my parents decided on the spur of the moment to come up and visit, and it was wonderful!! We love having visitors, and since the weather was so nice, we really got a chance to go out and explore Toronto a little bit.
On Saturday, we got up and ventured downtown for the Blue Jays/Tigers game at Rogers Centre. The weather was perfect, and we got the cheap seats in the upper bowl, which were awesome! The dome was open since it was such a beautiful day and we could see the CN Tower from our seats. It was a good game, too, Jays won.....too bad I missed Frank Thomas in a Jays uniform by one day.
After the game, we explored downtown, had a beer in a cute little Irish pub, then took the subway back home. It was a great day! We walked up to Queen's Park and OF COURSE I took lots of pictures!
My parents left Sunday morning, and then on Sunday night, Gary and I went back downtown for the Sara Bareilles/Raining Jane/Rachel Yamagata concert. Sara's voice is so pure and amazing....she even made me cry on one song because it was so pretty. Raining Jane is a great band too...they have a unique sound, and their percussionist plays an instrument I've never seen before. It looks like a speaker, but it sounds like a drum when she hits it. Also, their bassist played a sitar, which was really cool because I've never seen that live before. A great concert overall.......here's some pics. We were very close to the stage!
Rachel Yamagata
The following weekend, I got us tickets to the Jason Mraz/Makepeace Brothers/Bushwalla concert downtown at Kool Haus. This show was more like a circus than a concert, complete with a magician that was the "host" between acts. It was different, but good, and Bushwalla ended up in a unitard, so what else could we ask for?
The Makepeace Brothers
Bushwalla, a man of many talents
And yes, he stripped down to this.
