Friday, August 14, 2009. Ossington Avenue. The 6th Anniversary of the northeastern blackout of 2003. This was an exciting event and a lot of fun to photograph. As Michael, from Streets Are For People, described in his Facebook event posting,
- 28 venues from Queen to Dundas
- No lights, no mics, no amps, no lack of good food, drink, music and conversation.
- Re-live the great time Toronto had the night of the blackout of 2003. Share memories, make new ones.
- Some bars will book bands, others will have guitars to pass around.
- Parking-meter Parties – pay the meter, party in the street. play music, play games, make art, the space is yours once you pay for it.
- Don’t miss the big surprise between 10 and 11pm.
If you missed it, or if you didn’t, I hope you enjoy the photos I made of the event – the fire dancers were awesome!! You can view a gallery of all 75 photos, or quickly review highlights by clicking on the thumbnails below:
