Two Very Cool but Different Events

Since I don't live in the woods anymore and I can't be a "woman who runs with the wolves" these fall days, I've decided to unleash my inner primal knot of addiction and aggressive and compulsion and obsession and flames via a new sport: mountain biking. There are no mountains in Toronto to be sure not even in Ontario and if I had my say I'd move to Arkansas but I don't right now so I'm going to go to the Toronto International Bicycle Show's BLOWOUT SALE and see what the cycling retailers have to offer. I want something cheap that I can scrape and bottom out on and tramp through mud with. A mule with treads. Check out the sale if you like unmotorized modes of transport. It costs $5. And the doors open at 10:00 a.m. but you're advised to get there earlier.

For anyone in Toronto who is into Vintage Clothing well have I got THE sale for you! On Sunday, October 16th at The Paddock Pub (178 Bathurst Street) from 4 p.m. - 7 p.m. a woman affiliated with Comrags Clothing is having a sale of clothing from the 20s through to the 70s. Her family comes from Manitoulin Island and her cousin at one point ran an old General Store in a village on the island. She helped him clean out his attic and they came across boxes of clothes with their original tags still affixed to them. All manufacture in Canada and all in near perfect condition. I'm totally slumming for some garter belts!
