Oh Man! We were invited over to Dana and Marty’s for a swanky little Jazz Festival Party on Saturday night.
Here’s some photos… awesome time.
Patio View from the Apt:
I was pretty much obsessed with most of the art in their Apt… specifically these 3 numbers:
An @bymarty Orig:
Highwaisted’s Mom also has some of these homemade book shelves going on around her place in Niagara on the Lake… Love them:
And these little suction buddies are drink markers… please pick your personality:
I picked this guy, obviously:
Then we had our picture taken! With a POLAROID CAMERA for their front hall which has quite the collection of visitor photos:
(still developing, god i love polaroid cameras. how’s hipster of me)
And then there was a lot of:
Dancing…
Drinking…
Music… Carly & Mark at Uptown 21!
And… Skateboarding.
#kwawesome at its finest.
Thanks Dana and Marty for a lovely night!

I know, I know, it’s only Tuesday and it hurts to think about how far it is until the weekend … but it’s such a great one that you need to start planning your itinerary NOW!
Here’s a couple things you might want to check out:
Craft Beer and Ribfest in Victoria Park – the most delicious event of the summer FOR.SURE. All weekend long. We went last year and it was unbelievably tasty. If you’re not into Ribs and Beer, a) you are crazy b) there is bbqd corn and lemonade and rides for kids. This event rules. Hope you’ll be able to make it!
Uptown Jazz Festival – Going on all weekend in Uptown, the Jazz Festival is always a good time. 100% FREE. There’s two stages, one in the Waterloo City Hall Parking lot off Regina and Waterloo Public Square… so get out, have some gelato and listen to some goodness.
If these two events aren’t quite your style… maybe you’d like to check out Summmer Jam at Bingemans on July 17. Totally sold out, but there’s still tix available on Kijji. Busta Rhymes and T-Pain in Kitchener. Amazing. Last year The Roots played – we were going to go, but totally bailed due to a hangover and being broke. Totally regret it now, The Roots are awesome.
The weather should be glorious, there is no excuse for anyone to have a lame-o weekend…. Get out of your house and do SOMETHING!

The city of Waterloo is currently looking into a streetscaping project for uptown, along King from Erb to Central.
I gotta say, i don’t have a lot of complaints around this area. Weird, huh? But i did have a couple suggestions ;)
If you’d like to have your say – fill out this survey before July 30th.
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=dtlZexa6iFgGvSCIf8LrmOdpjiJ6iGqfQ5u08wLl9cE%3d&
(The “next” button is at the very bottom, you gotta scroll down.)
Apparently the budget is about 1.7M to get the job done, which is pretty pathetic compared to the Millions and Millions spent recently on downtown ktown… but i think we all know what that is… because there’s no place bitchener than kitchener? Or maybe it’s just because it had a lot further to go on being an acceptable place to hang out.
On that note -why is there so much fucking GARBAGE on the sidewalk and street in downtown…
Dear City, clean that shit up.
Dear Citizens, come on you jerks. put your matter of taste cups in the trash, or better yet, bring your OWN MUG.

PS. Thanks for the heads up Graham W !)
