I’ll Miss The Silver Dollar
Last night was the last concert for a while at The Silver Dollar. It’ll be closing so that they can build condos in the area. It will re-open because it has a heritage designation, but because of the closures, the people that are involved will probably not be a part of it anymore.
Thank you for all the special memories:
– It was one of my first club venues before I was even old enough to go to it. I’d volunteer for NXNE (when it was still cool).
– I stood in awkward silence beside people who are now my friends.
– I fell in love with a lot of my favourite bands there.
– I held my first blog showcases there
– I shot my first concert photos there.
– I killed my first camera there.
The venue may come back, but it’ll never be the same. #RIPSilverDollar

Why I Love the New Zelda
Since I bought the Nintendo Switch, I’ve been hooked on Zelda. The new game is beautiful and satisfying as someone who is an occasional gamer.
The best part about it is you can go at your own pace. I haven’t come across any timers and there are so many puzzles and shrines that help you feel the sense of accomplishment along the way.
The magic of this new Zelda, is that you don’t really have to follow the story. You can wander pretty much in any direction and find something to do. Whether it’s killing a mob, solve puzzles in a shrine or try to boat across a river.
Dying also doesn’t seem like a big deal. You can pick up where you started. Sometimes deaths are funny. I occasionally climb up mountains to be killed by a goat or try too hard to capture a good horse that ends up kicking me in the face.
I’m still nowhere near done the game but I’m having so much fun in it already!
