playing ultimate with graham last week was the highlight of my summer so far. playing with him again was pure gravy.
have i mentioned how much i love this game?
after 90minutes of running around in the crazy hot sun tossing a frisbee around with other ultimate addiktz, graham, lara, and i decided to czech out the salsa festival in kensington. all of kensington was closed to traffic for the festival. that only happens once a year, so it wa great to walk down 10th street in the blazing sun.
i was expecting to see lots of salsa dancing, but it was a different kind of salsa that this festival was celebrating. for a $3 charitable donation you received a bag of tortilla chips. then you'd spend the rest of the afternoon sampling various salsa made by the local restaurants in the kensington area. a delicious way to spend the afternoon.
there were street vendors and street performers, and thousands of calgarians out enjoying the beautiful weather and some kick ass salsa.
pimp my golf cart...hummer style
and this cart can be yours for only $14,500! you can also get a cadillac escalade ext golf cart starting at $16,500! serious what the fuck?
satisfied from another awesome morning of ultimate, and an afternoon of kensington street festival, graham headed back to edmonton. i would see him two weeks later as we drive across the country together. graham is done with alberta and is moving back to toronto. i'm going to miss him.
i ended up at a little backyard party in kensington thanks to my friend diva who i ran into after ultimate. there were turntables, and some good peeps chillin, drinkin, and dancing. i love random backyard parties :)
my friend karen and her krew were also at the party, but they weren't staying. they had plans to float down the bow river on inflatable rafts and invited me along. hey, i'm down for random adventures. take me with you!
we arrived at bow river park by c.o.p. and ran into kane, his two sons, jaycloud, and tarzie.
as we inflated the boats and suited up, it came to our attention that we were short one lifejacket, namely one for me. word is they've been cracking down on alcohol and life jackets on the bow river. when asked if i wanted to risk it, i replied "you do realize you are floating down the river with a coloured guy right?" its so easy to play the race card in this town.
floating down the bow is a common pass time in this town, and on a sunny sunday afternoon like today, the river sure was busy.

it took us about 2hours to float from bow river park to princess island, downtown. lazing around in an inflatable boat is an awesome way to spend a sunday afternoon.
we deflated our boats near princess island and waited for our ride to pick us up. it was then that i discovered that my leather fanny pack (yes, i carry a fanny pack) was totally soaked. this wouldn't be so bad if my digital camera wasn't inside of it :( yes, the epson photo pc 800 that was gifted to my by my homeboy bobby, took a bath and is no more. this camera is over 7 years old and has been through so much. i've dropped it on cement, dropped it in snow, and loved it or years. oh the pix we've taken together *sigh* maybe this camera will bounce back from a bath in the bow, but the situation looks grimm for this camera.
from shambhala 2000 to bow river 2007, this blog entry is dedicated to the memory of my epson photo pc 800. i'm gonna miss you, ghetto less than one megapixel camera with no view screen.
